Love Always - Coach J
It's easy to be grateful for the soft and beautiful things like flowers, birds, a sunset or rise, however I'll ask you when was the last time you were grateful for a challenge? Working with some men this week we came across some challenges that had to voiced, raised and cleared. At times during the challenge there was discomfort, confusion or emotions. What made the session successful was that everyone kept asking or speaking until they had an understanding of the others position. The result has been a week of victory by overcoming adversity. And that feels great!

The road I traveled to get here was bumpy at some points. Rocky and treacherous at times. Difficult and seemingly impossible. In those times I just kept my head focused on the next step - not the mountain top. Other times my path was more smooth and easy. I learned that for the most part when I knew what direction I was headed the journey was a little easier, even during the tough times. The road here has left some bruises, some visible, some not. The same can be said for scars and muscles that are developed during the journey. These emotional and physical markers may be lingering a little but I wear them with pride and do not let them influence my decisions today - simply knowing that they all brought me to where I am now. Reflect on your journey and look for the lessons, not for regret. Love Always - Coach J You never know.... Why that man walks with a limp, that woman is always smiling, that child ran out into the street without looking both ways first, he chose to retire at this time, why she couldn't be with you anymore. We make assumptions many times in life, and even when we do have some information we will always have the story through our paradigm. You never really know why someone is the way they are and that is okay. Be sound in who you are and accept them for who they present to you. Love Always - Coach J is what you get. When you say I am going to fail, This is going to be hard - it always happens that way. Also you go where you focus - not only with your words as just described, but also quite literally. Race car drivers are taught to look away from a crash or wall if they are headed towards it, the act of looking in a different direction naturally takes their body and movements in a different direction. The power of your words, and the power of looking at a vision board of pictures or videos of how you want your life to be will bring you favorable return. Speak and see what you seek, and it is already yours. Love Always - Coach J For all we accomplish, for all we accumulate, for all we learn, one thing is in common - it will all pass. The rich and the poor both have the sun shine on them. The wise and the foolish both die. What do we really have? This moment. Breathe it - cherish it, hug it, love it, know it because in a moment it is all changed. Follow your passions, but not to the detriment of your joy. Trust your feeling, feel your soul, be alive. Love Always - Coach J I have a real difference in my perception of hope and Faith. Hoping for something in my eyes is passive with no action towards it. Faith in something is the deep resolve it is already begun unfolding even if you don't have tangible evidence and as such you take action accordingly. If you invite friends over for dinner you prepare a meal. If you simply hope some friends show up unannounced your focus and preparation in that meal will most likely not have the same zest. Send the invitation to what you want and prepare for it. Now you are moving with Faith. I am blessed to have Faith in my life tenfold. Love Always - Coach J When subatomic particles crash into each other energy is released. When people crash into each other energy is released. Today I had the opportunity to have by vehicle crashed into. It gave me the chance to raise my awareness and be present in that moment. It showed me clearly without a doubt how much I have to be grateful for and that material possessions don't matter in an emergency. What I truly hope is in the dealings with the other person, the police officer, insurance adjusters and all the other people I will come into contact with as a result of this "accident" that I give a great energy to them. Thank you for always showing me the lesson and living through me. Love Always - Coach J Fear of something brings it to fruition. Fear makes it happen. How sets the fear? You! Your continued thoughts or apprehensions on what you do not want to happen are feeding the fear into a reality. Fear passes through all of us, simply let it pass. Don't park there. Park where you want to stay. Park in the view that you want to grow in. Let fear pass, don't trap yourself with your own fears. Live fearless, which means taking action in the face of fear. Action kills fear every time. Love Always - Coach J Every morning I have an routine to bring in the day with the most positive energy and insights to make the most of my day. When the people that comprise my inner circle are all having a low energy morning I find myself being drawn into that field and the power feels low. I reach for sources of energy and actually have to take the same advice I give my children. When you are in that space what is one thing (toy, book, song) that makes you feel good? Start there to increase your energy. Find a positive marker and build from there. I have to do it myself from time to time. Stay away from the victim mentality and control what you can. Love Always - Coach J What a marvelous day of exhausting relaxation! We started early to go to a neighborhood event with a bounce house, kids games, caulk art, snacks, beverages, and great company. We came home took a quick nap then back out to the store, then park for playground run around, took a nice stroll over to the reservoir. Headed home at dusk to tune into boxing that ended swiftly (round three) and mercifully to end the day. I was hugging my pillow with the day of non stop relaxation and participation behind me.
