Full Moon Fever

Been a bit under the weather lately. Not sure if it is a "bug" or what but it has been "kickin'" my butt. Had to take off of training this week and haven't posted here in a couple of days.

On a HUGE note...anyone see the full moon? MAN!!! I was driving east on Highway 50 going towards South Lake Tahoe and it looked like it was on fire! Beautiful, big, round orange ball in the night sky! Just awesome!!

I am lucky that I live where the stars at night are big and bright...no...not deep in the heart of Texas...but in the Northern California Foothills. When it is pitch black here you can what seems like every star in the night sky. It's pretty amazing. The Milky Way...the body of stars not the candy bar... runs right over the top of my house, which is a good thing what with the price of milk at $4.69 a gallon, it's nice to have an alternative source of "moo juice" for my bowl of cereal.

So, I guess all of this is a roundabout way to say...take the time to enjoy life, your surroundings and your loved ones. I lost my oldest brother at the beginning of this year and it just reaffirmed that we all need to slow down and appreciate what we have.

Read a great quote recently which goes like this...

"Work joyfully and peacefully, knowing that right thoughts and right efforts will inevitably bring about right results."

James Lane Allen

The thing is, don't just sit back and wait for your life or success to come to you. Challenge yourself constantly, every day if necessary, and do not give in to complacency. If you choose to "play it safe" and take the "easy way out", you've decided to stop learning...to stop growing. We are not guaranteed or owed anything in this life. There is no entitlement. We are only promised right now. There is nothing worse than sitting back and waiting for someone else to do something for you that you can do for yourself with a little effort, focus and determination.

Get off the sidelines, get in the game people and live life to the fullest!

Until next time,

Sensei Tim
