"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." - Anais Nin If you'd like to understand another persons perspective ask them "How do you see your life?" - is it a rollercoaster, game of cards, a dance or a journey? Ask yourself this as well. What angle do you activate from? What would life look like if you saw your opportunities from a different perspective? Where are you coming from today? Where are you coming from in each moment? Love Always - Coach J This river is awesome. I have seen it from Minnesota, St. Louis, and Louisiana. The ships that use it for shipping goods, and the steamboat and yachts that cruise it for enjoyment, the growth along the banks, and the awesome bridges that are built to connect the land on each side. The culture it's banks touch vary in extremes. The type of food at its source down to the music at its base, it is all worthy of enjoyment. The mighty Mississippi is truly awesome! Love Always - Coach J To appear or make an appearance is an interesting term. We engage, connect, and inspire on an energy level with our peers. Yet when we meet face to face there is a period where we have to reconcile the differences in what we are seeing and what we are feeling. But is only an appearance - good or bad the truth shines through any "make-up" or Cover up. Be true and shine through. Love Always - Coach J Gratitude heals a host of ills. When times are dark and you are unsure of your future or reflecting on your past realize this is the perfect time to be in the moment. You have these emotional triggers telling you that something needs attention. When you give your attention to events yet to come or get stuck in reflection the result is stagnation. Use these triggers to be present. You can start by looking around you for the positives you do have. We received our fist snow of the season yesterday and it was beautiful and majestic. This morning I took a moment to be thankful for a warm home, jackets, functioning vehicles, and our daily bread. It wasn't so cold when I went outside, the ice was not as slick for me as it will be for others. I am centered in gratitude and thankful for each breath. Past decisions and future thoughts are not real and never will be. As Maxwell says - our success is in our daily agenda. Making sure gratitude is in that daily agenda will leave less space for troubles past or present. Love Always - Coach J Moment of truth - I am not the most patient person... It is an exercise for me to step back and let others take the wheel. I had an awesome experience last night by stepping back and allowing my 10 year old to prepare dinner for us. He chose home/handmade meat balls. Grass fed beef, fresh veggies, herbs, and spices. They came out great and will be part of our regular rotation. The most satisfying part of the meal was looking over at him while he enjoyed watching us enjoy the fruit of his efforts. He can begin to understand the joy that comes from sweat and service. I will step back more and more to allow him and others the space they need to become who they were made to be. More than a meal, it was food for my soul. Love Always - Coach J No need to force yourself to be or act a certain way. Simply focus on all that is good in your life and show gratitude. Then you may become an instrument of God peace and Love. Get in tune with the source of all energy and creation then trust your instincts. Be open to the feelings you trust to bring peace and harmony. The rest will happen as it should. Love Always - Coach J Take care when you select your input as it will affect your output. What type of music is played in the lobby of a high end hotel? What type of music is played at a sports bar? What might you hear on an elevator? The music you listen to will fill you with a spirit that can assist in the direction you want to push yourself. It can be counter productive if you listen to something that is not in line with your desired outcome. Example - listining to a Mozart while attending a high intensity work out could hinder you from reaching your peak intensity. Also consider this at home when you cook, while you drive, and when you want to have a romantic evening at home. Love Always - Coach J |
