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.

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 when you eat are you breaking a fast? A period without food/nourishment? Not just eating to eat. Consuming to consume, rather eating because it is time to refuel. Consuming because you have digested the previous lesson and are now ready for more. Take time to let the food sink in, savor it and even push a little past the want into the need to refuel so you partake of the new food or information with enthusiastic hunger. Take your time, chew slowly, savor and digest when you break fast. Love Always - Coach J Many times I have used the phrase "transformation" when speaking to personal development but a recent insight has me considering the definition I will choose to represent. The transform is to change a shape from what it was to something new - at least that is the definition on a cellular level. Commonly it is used to state a dramatic change. I will use the change to something new definition to express my counter of discovery as being preferable. Of the things I have learned that have enlightened me most I had to consider that the lessons returned me to my essence - or Dis Covered (uncovered) something that was already within. I simply became aware of it and empowered it. I may have acted, or shown a dramatic change that others can casually call transformation, but the reality for me was I discovered information that was always present and chose to act on it. Consider this, but no matter what we call it, keep growing and aligning with Love. Love Always - Coach J Do I need more than to take my first conscious breath to acknowledge this is a beautiful life? Simply waking in the comfort and care of my health and sound mind should be enough to start the day on the right foot. Once I am alert, focused and back to my physical plane I can seek other goals and pursuits, but genuine joy is as simple as gratitude in that first breath. Love Always - Coach J It is common to look at animals and be in awe of their primal reactive movements. Many times there actions are majestic and poetic. Even when maintaining the natural order of things such as preying on another species their action is never malicious or gluttonous. An animal simply takes what it needs in that moment and moves on. Visualize the picture of a lion resting in a field of gazelles and none of them are running. The lion is not their enemy the hungry lion is. The gazelles have not formed a league to eradicate the lions from the earth and the lions are not trying to "stock up" on gazelles for themselves. The beauty of the animal kingdom is it is all about instant feedback WITHIN natural order. Once you comprehend natural order you can begin to apply your thoughts and actions accordingly and live aligned with the source of creation. Consider this and feel free to comment. Love Always - Coach J Blessed is the man that has a strong foundation in the midst of the storm. A place of shelter, refuge, and safety. To know what you believe, to know where you stand even when being tossed about by life's storms is a priceless gift. Storms are part of the natural process of life. Those who prepare a home for the times of storm are wise. Invest in your shelter on the sunny days so you are protected when the winds of change come. Storms can be a financial emergency, family crisis, career change, physical ailment, or any other event that takes you off balance from your daily routine. Take inventory of the areas of your life from career, family, spirit, health, financial, community, education and deliberately plan how to invest in each of these areas a little at a time in preparation for the test or storm that will come. Love Always - Coach J You cannot eat the harvest in the middle of seeding season. Sometimes when you are seeding the weather does not cooperate with your expectations, sometimes the seed doesn't take, and sometimes the soil is not fertile. You life and you learn but the natural order is that you must seed to receive a harvest. For those of us in the midst of seeding, keep the good and steady hand. Continue your work with the focus on the finish line because you know why you started. In the end you must earn the beautiful words "well done, my good and faithful servant". Keep the faith, keep your vision, and never give up your work. Love Always - Coach J Yesterday I addressed the topic of Father being the Source. You are like that from which you came. An apple comes from an apple tree. Certain genetic factors and traits will come from your physical father. Other traits will come from your eternal source, the source of all life. To be able to resource the original love, compassion, wisdom and understanding is a blessing to say the least. Look into your life and see where you can be a resource for someone else. You don't need to have all the answers, check in with your source and channel them. It is a complement to your connection to the source to be considered resourceful. Love Always - Coach J Abba from Aramaic origin can be translated as the most intimate for of Father, such as "papa" = endearing in its nature. Ask yourself what would you have such an endearing attachment or emotional reaction to? Now look at the translation of Abba to mean Source. When you look at the father as the source you realize all comes from him through you. You are a representation of the source. Connect to the source to have a full, rich and endearing connection with others. The original Source, the Creator of all is your Abba. Do not be clouded by Earthly representations of Fathers. We all do our best on Earth to reflect the one true Abba, yet we are still only human in form. Connect to your original source. Love Always - Coach J |
