Quick Introduction.

 

Stuff doesn’t just happen. The reality is, if you side step an opportunity, that is one opportunity in that time of your life that you will never know its potentiality. 

Wow!!!  I am excited, nervous and eager, kinda feel like a football after it hits the ground after a 95 yard punt. I’ve been on this journey for my truth before and to be honest I feel I did myself a disservice…isn’t that what most of us say in hind site? We wish we would have done things a little differently? Who is typically your worst enemy? For me…it has been myself. Not until recently did I dig into my foundational being, to determine it’s true scaring and misguidance, which lead to many aspects of me that I struggle to understand and the yearning to really find myself and my true potential.

From a true friend, I was told that I was an "all or nothing guy" - that phrase didn’t sit well with me, because I thought "I'm never a nothing Guy!", until I searched into its meaning. I get it…I think…at least this is my perception of what was really said - my level of engagement had always been full tilt and that was it!…and knowing my level of engagement, the later part meant that there was no other way, it wasn’t that I did nothing “it was just all in”.

To back up to my disservice explanation. It is what I just laid out in the above paragraph.

Don’t get me wrong, I just turned 57 and I still like to push the envelope in physical exertion - but I'm seeing the light and learning about what I truly feel I need. My problem was that I was previously this way in all aspects of my life. It lead to a very mentally beat dissolved human. This different truth I mention in the first paragraph is about this guy that sees that life is way more than it has been, its about a mindful journey, not a race to the destination. Life, it’s super short and we only get one chance...its all about the journey. I've said it, I know the wording well, but its not until achieving the wisdom that I was able to feel it...believe it and want it.

The year of the snake is like a second, third or is it even a fifth chance at a more successful journey with my life through the eyes of I Ho Chuan enlightenment. As I write this, I feel the twinges of anxiety about this journey that I’ve committed to and the excitement of sharing this with a group of like minded individuals.

I look so forward to this year. I wish all my teammates the best in this years journey of mindfulness and growth. Remember, anything worth doing will be tough, some sacrifices will have to be made, patience and grace will have to be granted to oneself. The best phrase is “crap in crap out”, lol! So true… we get out what we put in. Staying grounded with accountability, intentionality and purpose is key to run the course of prioritization. Squirrel....Oh ya, I‘ll be a grandpa for the first time in April. So if I’m starting to write like a grandpa, I have good reason, lol. Through the challenges during the year of the snake, your mind will throw some curveballs; just breathe, and breathe again, smile, push through and believe in and be proud of yourself…also be that for your team!

It’s been so long since I’ve been on the floor of the Kwoon so I thought I’d start with a little intro of myself and share my desire for this year and my excitement to be with you all on this journey.
