Great Weekend

Hey guys, nothing earth shattering here, just wanted to say that a calm reflective weekend is good for the soul. Getting a good, fast and confidence building work out in on saturday was a good start. Walked around Georgtown with my wife, daughter and the in-laws saturday afternoon then went to wildfire cafe and had some elk tenderloin and steamed veggies. I felt a little restless as the sun sank lower and was wondering what to do for the evening. I called a couple of friends but everyone was busy. We ended up deciding to just stay home and relax, this is a first in a long time for me. I always feel I have to be moving and crazy busy to seem like i havent wasted a moment. In my quiet reflection of the evening i found that sitting, reading and spending chill time is needed also. I feel so relaxed and excited about the week and the challenges that lie in the week ahead. I love this feeling and need to visit this place a little more! Action does not always mean "movement". Take that! My last post had me in a craz of movement a busy work when part of the challenge is learning to act while sitting completely still.

Hold the line!

lose your mind!?

I've been doing some reading and happened upon a concept that intrigued me. Your "mind" can only live in the past, which you can do nothing about or in the future, which will never come. Action is always in the present! Seek action with everything you have and do not let up. Action is in the here and now and you cannot be anywhere but "here and now". Your body does not live in the future or the past so let it go and act. If you always wait for tomorrow it will be to late and you will be left to dwell in the past! Don't regret what you could have done. What time is it, NOW! Where are you, HERE! Your ACTIONS are the only thing that you control so ACT! You are the light, light the path so that others might see. Lose your mind and act in the present.
