Love Always - Coach J
I have a few friends that are ill or recovering from an illness at this time. I like to think of them returning to their complete and optimal health immediately when I think of them. One recovering from a digestive issue, another battling lupus, one out of the hospital from extreme exhaustion. I recall them in full form, as complete and restored. I wish not for the expelling of an illness but the return to complete health. For them to be whole, healthy and complete. Today in place of focusing on your loved ones illnesses just meditate and pray with the visualization of them completely whole, renewed and recovered. In optimal health.

Imagine a potted plant in dry soil, soil so dry that when it finally gets some water it doesn't even form mud because the entirety of the soil was so depleted it distributed the water as quickly as it could throughout the pot. Imagine the plant looking yellow instead of green and limp, half dead from lack of water. Imagine the same plant, the same soil in the same pot and this time imagine it is so full with water that the top soil looks like a pond. You can't make out any soil due to so much water. Now imagine the plant looking half dead, yellow instead of green due to overwatering. Think of this when you want to work 80 hours a week. Past a certain point you become less effective without time to digest, rest and soak. Think about this when you want to be lazy or not put in the extra effort on a project. You've got to find the sweet spot of hydration without saturation. Too much of something is no good. Not enough is detrimental. Stay hydrated, know when to chew, when to swallow and when to digest the information you are feeding yourself. Love Always - Coach Julian Last night during the most intense thunder and lightening storm we have had of the spring I have to admit I had one of the deepest most relaxing slumbers I have had in some time. The bedroom window was cracked so I could hear the downpour. At some point in the night there was a crack of thunder that shook the house and I expected the children to wake a little disturbed. I heard no stirring and fell back to sleep quickly. In the midst of this intense event I was able to rest. It is amazing that having a sound home (family, values, knowledge of self and God) as well as house (physical support) can get you through all kinds of storms. Love Always - Coach J One definition of patience is the ability to endure through difficult situations. This definition is the reason I never wanted patience in my life - I figure why ask to endure difficult situations? Why not tackle them head on? Take the fight to the situation and keep your eyes open to learn the lesson- live life to the fullest! Recently the word patience was broken down for me to finding another's pace. All you are doing is pacing yourself to another speed of action. This is far more tolerable for me and even welcome when I come from the mindset of adjusting my speed to the issue at hand for final resolve. It is not about enduring, it is about recognizing the speed of the situation and dealing with it as is. Love Always - Coach J Experiencing a new joy through someone you love is so amazing. Watching them learn something new or just watching them be fulfilled and in a joyous place just charges me up. Watching your son catch his first fish, your smallest child build a puzzle on their own, you older children become amazing young adults, and dancing the night away with your wife like you've just met and she has your heart in the palm of her hand all over again feels so good. If you haven't had a first time with the ones you love in a while do so tonight. Buy a something or prepare a new dish for dinner. Lay out a blanket in the floor and have dinner like a picnic with no TV on. Anything to have a first time experience each day with the ones you love. Love Always - Coach J The title of the picture says "Mother Natures Treadmill". What fuel do you feed your body? Is it balanced and refreshed? What fuel do you feed your mind? Is it insightful and refreshing? Do the things you take into your body and mind inspire you? Inspire means to fill with spirit. You do not have a spirit. You are a spirit. Feed it. Do not dampen or hide it with poor choices that muddy your connection to it. Cleanse the connection and shine with brilliance. The first place to start is the fuel you feed your body and mind. Love Always - Coach J A wife was made to help the husband. When you consider this it is important to understand that the husband must be engaged in his work - he God given passion and purpose. When he has his path and work he can have a helper. A helper must be just as strong or stronger to assist you. On this blog I often push you to find your work, but today let us celebrate the help that gives us a lift and enables us to more than we ever could alone. Love Always - Coach J Attitude will define your return. If you are seeking great return it would make sense to have a great attitude. If you are not sure what that looks or feels like here is a very easy hint gratitude = a great attitude. Wake each day with a grateful spirit, heart, and words for the day. In each blessing, victory, and challenge be grateful. This is a great attitude to have and from it I promise great return. Love Always - Coach J |
