Light/Dark

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

John Wooden

So I have been reading this book about John Wooden and all the people he touched in his 99 years here on earth. The guy had it figured out. He was old school and new school and well ahead of his time as far as coaching goes. However, he went beyond the here and now, the wins and losses, and the fame to something more important. Something bigger than himself. I think he realized that ultimately, this life doesn't mean anything unless it is eternal.

I have so much to learn...

cpr - constantly practicing r*****ness

i teach cpr from time to time.it is amazing to me how some of the people i teach are some of the nicest people ever however the level of education is pretty low. they love people and get along great but their convos are pretty limited to basic topics.

on the flipside, the people that have an education typically are on the go and only

want to get their work done.. there isnt a whole lot of communication or want/need to interact w other people. obviously there are exceptions all over the placeand people are all different but i think thats why i coach because life is meant to be shared..

corporate america is crazy... people want to be left alone and just get thru life.. there is no getting personal and investing in people.. its all about self and climbing the ladder to hopefully pick up someone elses crumbs..

i refuse to settle ever again
