THE ACTIONS ARE OUR CHOICES

(From: Gandhi)
The outward freedom that we shall attain will only be in exact
proportion to the inward freedom to which we may have grown at a
given moment. And if this is a correct view of freedom, our chief
energy must be concentrated on achieving reform from within.

(From: Gandhi)
We must become the change we wish to see.

COACH'S NOTES

In the past few days we all have received many opportunities to share, express our concern for the safety and well being of others, and be ones to take solace in the santuary of our faith. We have been given a tremendous gift and burden. The gift is the opportunity to forgive those who have caused harm to loved ones, country people and global countrymen. Forgiveness for such devastation does not come easily. WE each must choose what is right for us, as we look outward at our neighbors both in our communities and afar. We know that each is on his/her own path and we can make peace by asking for forgiveness and blessing the people who hold hatred toward any life form or people. We can embrace these people with our love and a commitment for peace.

Our burden is that our leaders must take action, or as many would desire retribution for the crimes committed against humanity. Our burden runs deep; as does the wounding we have experienced first - hand. We wait, watch and continue forward with a thought toward having due justice. But is there justice in hatred, fighting, war and the continued torrent of creating more harm to the lives of others? While some action is inevitable, we have a choice about what actions will be taken and how. We have an individual responsibility to act first in our own lives and then on behalf of the lives of the innocents around the world.

Our action can be in our prayers and desires for a just and equitable action. We can choose to write our leaders and ask that no harm be done to those who have not committed crimes against humanity. We can solicit the help of other like-minded individuals who hold similar beliefs and hold a vision for a higher - order of love and peace to prevail. We can hold the desire for a world where no harm caused to another is the norm.

We have received a powerful reminder of the good and the malicious. We can move in a more proactive manner, as a country and as a people. Our choice begins in our inner life and radiates outward to effect the outer world. Our world is a very special world, as is our country. In the difficult we remember who we are as a people, as a country and as a global community.

As we move forward I ask you to look inward and find your own truth. Are you a supporter of good? Then please, do those things that validate that truth. Are you a supporter of the demise of humanity, even if it is not a humanity that we can hear, feel or touch because they are not in our country? Then I ask you to reconsider what is in your heart and remember we are all one. What we do to another, we do to ourselves and it is only by removing our own fear and negativity that we can really offer the support that is needed. Find your peace, seek the solace in your faith and listen to the call of humanity. The choice has always been ours to make, first in our inner life and then in our outer world. May blessings of peace and well-being surround every person, every where.

P.S.: A special note to those in the military or reserves - I send you blessings, thank you for your commitment to fight for the freedom and values of our country. Return home to us safely, please.

The Goose Story - Author Unknown

This fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying along in a "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way.

It has been learned that when a lead bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

People who share common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the draft and resistance of trying to go it alone, and quickly gets into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.

If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are going. When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. It pays to take turn doing hard jobs. The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

An encouraging word goes a long way.

Finally, when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by a gun shot and falls out, two geese fall out of formation and follow him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, then they launch out on their own or with another formation to catch up with the group.

If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other like that.

LIGHTEN UP!


A student comes to a young professor's office after hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, kneels pleading"I would do anything to pass this exam."

She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes.

"I mean..." she whispers, "...I would do... **anything**!!!"

He returns her gaze. "Anything???"

"Yes,... Anything!!!"

His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you...... study???"

Failure is always a safe, familiar, no-risk refuge, a known experience it focuses on new of testing responsibilities upon one. Success, on the other hand, is unknown territory and a high-risk business; the very lifestyle it imposes is full of relentless demands for even better performances and achievements. Anon
