What is the question?

What is the question?
March 7, 2019

Life’s questions form a mans destiny. It’s what we ask ourselves that defines who we become. Socrates said, “let the questions be the curriculum.”

The questions we ask determines what we focus on? And what we focus on determines what we get of and from life? 

We have to allow our inner questions to guide us in the direction we must go. And it is only through living that we discover the answers to the questions our soul is asking.

When we look around we admire those who have answered their questions and written them down, performed them, or painted a picture. We try on their answers and we find ourselves frustrated because they don’t seem to fit. 

When we search outside of us for answers. When we seek them in others we will always feel a sense of lack; a sense of despair.

When we try to be something we’re not, we’ll always be a shell of what we truly could’ve been. And we’ll never be all-in, because it’s not our true self. We’ll feel like a fraud.

While beautiful, the answers of others were not meant for us. We should definitely feel a sense of inspiration because our brother/sister has found his/her light, but look within yourself for answers to your own questions. 

Your questions define your curriculum. And your answers are never in others because you are not like everyone else. You are special. You are unique and you were meant to shine. 

When we see greatness in others, know that it exists within us too. And as you travel on your journey just know that I am there with you searching for my answers as well. You are not alone. You are never alone. I am always with you!

How Am I Doing?

How Am I Doing? March 15, 2019 A champion never pauses in the middle of action to consider what others think of him. A champion never stops to ask himself, “How am I performing?”  No, a champion just plays ball. A champion writes his story. And allows his actions to do all the talking. A champion has no time to consider how far he’s come. Or who’s creeping up from behind. A champion keeps running his race. He runs to glorify the image within his heart. He plays for the little boy inside of him. He plays with joy and enthusiasm. A champion is an artist of the truest form. He is free to experiment and explore and craves spontaneous action. He has full faith and trust in his physical and non-physical abilities.  On the flip side, when a performer is fixated and concerned with how he is doing his body will tighten, his muscles will tense and his mind is flooded with thoughts, questions and self-judgement.  How could we ever experience joy from this per...

Am I in the game yet?

Am I in the game yet? March 6, 2019 As long as we are breathing we are all in the game. The question is what kind of player are you? What kind of performer? What kind of performer do you want to be? Because we all have a choice.  Are you complacent with just living, with just getting by? Would you rather just sit on the bench and doing nothing and point out how the doers stumbled? Or do you want to be great? We have a choice! And we give up so much of our personal power when we give in to the idea that we have no choice. In reality, we are the product of the choices we make. Everything that happens to us is a result of the choices we made.  When things don’t go the way we had planned, when we attempt and fail what is our response? Do we pout, do we complain, do we blame the coaches, the leaders, the refs? Do we blame circumstances?  When we blame others, it’s a cop out. Its the easiest way to get off the hook, and trust me, I’ve been there. And what...

LIVE BIG DREAMS!

LIVE BIG DREAMS February 15, 2019 I am on a journey of self-discovery. And to, as Marianne Williamson said, make manifest the Glory of God that is within me. To discover my gifts and to share them with the world. To be ALL that God created me to be.  I’ve been writing notes, gentle reminders to myself for most of my life. Then intended them for my three wonderful boys. Recently, I began sharing with those I love and admire.  I am definitely blessed with a lot of inspiration. I see or hear things and I can write a story about it, connecting it to an old experience or reading.  I want to inspire action on dreams and the over coming of our fears because I’ve been there and through this process I am facing my fears. We’ll never know what we are capable of until we put ourselves on the line. And what I want my loved ones and everyone to know is that we exist in a world of infinite possibilities. The only limitations are the ones we accept for ourselves. ...
