Life is the stage. Are you the viewer or on the stage? If you are on the stage are you the central character or in the background. Life is one of the most interesting stages because you can be the star as well as the observer at the same time. The issue comes into play when you get stuck in the observer role. Watching, and waiting to see what will happen next puts you in a victim role. Taking action and setting the stage, changing the scenery, choosing the script, all of these things are in your control, so act as if. Be the star you are. Love Always - Coach J When you are disconnected from something you are not aware of its current state. If you are disconnected you can make assumptions about its progress but you cannot be sure. When you are disconnected from a person it can appear that you may not care for their current or future state, when simply you have no current information to go on. When you attempt to connect and cannot connect what is next? My perspective is to remain consistent and available. If you are steady and consistent, remain available, and let your intentions be known of having a desire to connect there is not much more you can do. This way you know you have done everything you can and when the other party wants to connect, they can see you are in the same place and welcome the connection. Too many times a lack of connection can be perceived as a lack of caring. A break in an electrical wire will cause the current to stop at a the break but electricity is still electricity and love is still love, just sometimes it is disconnected. If you have a connection you want to want to repair simply do your part and let the rest happen. Love Always - Coach J A crucible is a melting pot where metals are forged. It is also used as a term for an extreme test. In the test we find our strength that we work for in training. Without the test we never really know how strong we really are. In being tested and demonstrating our strength or knowledge the lesson is internalized into a deeper understanding than we had prior to the test. It becomes part of us and not just a philosophical point of view. We can study and train all we want, but if we never get out into the world and test our studies we will be weak in the face of adversity. Take your lumps, test your theory and use the power of the crucible to your advantage. Love Always - Coach J It is possible to give and still increase, as is it is possible to withhold too much an be in poverty. What are you holding back that you can give? Time, Money, Love, Attention? You get what you give. Are you giving happiness or pain? Don't hold back the gift you were given to share. Love Always - Coach J Take a quick moment and reflect on your average day. Break your time into a mental pie chart. How much of it goes to work, or career? How much to family? How much to study or education? How much to recreation? How much to rest/relaxation/sleep? Within each slice make sure you are taking care of yourself first. You must be healthy and strong before you can assist another. We should do all we can to assist others, after we've taken care of ourselves first. Find some way to invest in yourself a little each day. What will you do toady - right now to invest in yourself? Love Always - Coach J I wrote a few days back about toddlers hugging their favorite stuffed animals. Today as I dropped off my little one at day care there was a younger girl that had her soft blanket from home she would not let go of as she walked around the center. Now that you are older what is your thing of comfort? I think of my teenagers and immediately think it is their phone. They cling to that for sure. For me - is it my computer? Books? I am not sure and will take some objective feedback on that for clarity. What I do know is we should cling to God, to seek knowledge, gain understanding and apply wisdom. We should cling to spending time and attention with our loved ones. Cling to being gentle and firm at the same time. I ask that we enjoy the external pleasures but squeeze and release them. And definitely do not cling to them. Love Always - Coach J You don't need to slay a dragon, take a village or Kingdom to prove your heart. The brave face themselves, they go inside and ask what all can I be? How great am I willing to be? To speak up against the things, people and establishments that violate their values. The war is won in your own heart once you commit to your values and beliefs and lead with them in mind. You may lead in the boardroom, the street, the classroom, or in your family. Perform a self inventory and check your actions and motivations to see if you are putting the work in to gain the reward you seek. Love Always - Coach J |
