THE IMPACT OF RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS...

I want to share this story that TOUCHES MY HEART SO DEEPLY. Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles and helped carry some of the stuff since they were going the same way. As they walked, Marked discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

They got to Bill's house and Mark went inside to watch t.v., and continue talking about their lives. The afternoon passed by pleasantly with laughs and stories, which developed into a wonderful friendship. They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated junior high school. Ironically, they ended up at the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. It was finally here...their senior year graduation. Wow!! How time flies.

Three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk. Bill reminded him of the day many years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker that day because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had my dad's gun under my bed and I was going to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. YOU SAVED ME LIFE."

THE MEASURE OF A PERSON

The measure of a person isn't where they stand in moments of comfort and convenience, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy.

Life is not about having all you want...it's about APPRECIATING ALL THAT YOU HAVE! To FAIL means you've TRIED. To HURT means you've LOVED and to SURVIVE means you've LEARNED!

Subconscious Mind...

"Recognizing the influence of my subconscious mind over my power of will, I shall take care to submit to it a clear and definite picture of my major purpose in life and all minor purposes leading to my major purpose, AND I SHALL KEEP THIS PICTURE CONSTANTLY BEFORE MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND BY REPEATING IT DAILY!!!!"  -Bruce Lee


Apply this to your everyday world.

Feel The Pain

Are you on your journey of life? The journey of discovering what is within you. The journey of knowing that you CAN DO IT. The journey of being YOU.

Work hard and DO NOT settle for anything less. FEEL THE BURN! FEEL THAT PAIN. It is supposed to hurt, if it doesn't hurt PUSH HARDER. If it hurts, EMBRACE IT. Feel that pain every time you deal with obstacles and challenges...it is not your enemy, it is your best friend. Most people can not handle this pain and will stop...TRULY ONLY THE STRONGEST AND TOUGHEST WILL GO THE DISTANCE AND WILL GET TO THE FINISH LINE. DO NOT follow the weak, set your OWN PATH...BE YOUR LEADER! Know that what you are doing is helping you get closer to your destination.

Be UNBREAKABLE...discover your mental toughness. We all have it and once you know it...NOTHING will stop you, I MEAN NOTHING...will take you out of your game of life. Imagine the strength that pushes you through any obstacle or challenge regardless of how hard the task may be. You have it (we all have it)...feel it, believe in it, practice it, and be the powerful person that you are in MIND AND BODY. You truly have the strength and the willpower to FINISH YOUR FIGHT! Be an explorer and discover everything that is within you and around you. Take steps forward each every day and BE SO EXCITED to experience your journey. IT IS ALL UP TO YOU. YOU HOLD THE KEY!

Do It Today...

"Every worthwhile accomplishment has a price tag attached to it. The question is always whether you are willing to pay the price to attain it- in hard work, sacrifice, patience, faith, and endurance."-John C. Maxwell

Do the right thing;
Do it today;
Do it with no hope of return or promise of reward;
Do it with a smile and a cheerful attitude;
Do it day after day after day;
Do it, and someday,
There will come a day
That will be a payday
For all the yesterdays
You spent focused on the current day-
That will not only give value to today,
But will make each future day
Outshine each yesterday.
And what more could you ask of a day?

Maxwell, J. Success And One Day At A Time. Pgs. 65, 71.

Ride The Wild Tiger...

Life is like a wild tiger. You can either lie down and let it...Lay its paw on your head-
OR SIT ON ITS BACK AND RIDE IT.

Be Flexible With Difficulty

The power of water..making its way through cracks...adjusting to the crack...finding its way around it or through it. Think of yourself moving like water. Water can give you the insight you're searching for and remind you that you have the strength and power deep within your soul/spirit...to accomplish anything you set your mind to...to be anything you want to be...to overcome anything that may stand in your way or prevent you from moving forward.

Formless and shapeless like water...the substance that has so many answers for you. I have always been so fascinated with the power of water and everything it stands for...I want to share a couple of interesting points with you.

Water is known as the blood of the earth...flowing through its veins. It is something that has complete faculties. Accumulated in Heaven and Earth...stored up in the various things of the world. Comes forth in metal and stone...and concentrated in living creatures. This wondrous element is said to be something very spiritual. While many believe that what will transform the world lies in water.

So...I know what you are thinking...what does this have to do with me and my life? Well, everything. The answer is in WATER. :)

I want to share a small story that will hopefully enlighten you. A seventeen-year old boy decides to go sailing on his boat to think and to be alone. He was having some difficulty finding the ways to overcome life's challenges... difficulty in learning to understand, difficulty in utilizing the force/energy of any challenge to his own advantage. He had to learn to forget himself and just follow the challenge's movement. To let his mind do the countermovement without deliberation...to just RELAX. For example, in order to learn how to effectively sail, you must LEARN TO USE, NOT OPPOSE, the forces of wind and water.

So as he sat in his boat he got so upset and so frustrated with himself that he punched at the water with all of his might...and it was at this moment his AWAKENING BEGAN. "I struck it just now, but it did not suffer hurt. Again I stabbed at it with all my might, yet it was not wounded. I then tried to grasp a handful of it, but it was impossible. This water, the softest substance in the world, could fit itself into any container. Although it seemed weak, it could penetrate the hardest substances in the world. I wanted to be like the nature of water," the boy stated. In order to UNDERSTAND YOURSELF,  you must first ACCEPT YOURSELF by going with and not against your nature. 

Water is so malleable that it is impossible to grasp a handful of it, and when struck it is impossible to hurt. It was at once both pure Yin...One of the softest, most yielding substances in the world. And pure Yang...it could also penetrate the hardest forms of matter. It can be calm like the still surface of a pond, or turbulent and violent, like Niagara Falls.

The nature of water is to ADAPT itself instantly to any obstacle in its path, by moving at its OWN PACE, and BEGIN a natural process of surmounting it. Does this sound familiar to you? Be like water...if you can learn to flow with adversity, you will eventually overcome it!! And it is only through our flowing with life that we are able to ADAPT and GROW.

Remember, life is MOVEMENT...and if you cease to flow with it, it will pass you by. Like Bruce Lee once said, "Running water never grows stale. So you've got to just "keep on flowing."

Little, J. The Warrior Within. 1996. 43-48.

Go To The Center Of Your Circle

When we are in conflict with someone or something, we must understand how to go to our center/core in order to understand the full meaning of ourselves and the conflict that presents itself. The tension between you and that conflict (your storm) is like the circumference of a circle. In order to learn about yourself and your purpose, be present to this conflict and move toward your CENTER...where the peace of yourself lives.

You must embrace your conflict with love, support, acceptance, and prayer. These four corners mold you and will help bring you to your center. In order to capture the four corners, you must accept your challenges and face them in order to OVERCOME them. You must free yourself from this grip that this tension has on you and your life. You need to consider your conflict as an experience that presents itself to help you grow from...relate to it and change your way of thinking with love, support, acceptance, and prayer. Allow your conflict to help you discover what is truly happening inside of you. Hope, Believe, and Faith!
