Every single blade of grass,
And every flake of snow—
Is just a wee bit different …
There’s no two alike, you know.
From something small, like grains of sand,
To each gigantic star
All were made with THIS in mind:
To be just what they are!
How foolish then, to imitate—
How useless to pretend!
Since each of us comes from a MIND
Whose ideas never end.
There’ll only be just ONE of ME
To show what I can do—
And you should likewise feel very proud,
There’s only ONE of YOU.
That is where it all starts
With you, a wonderful
unlimited human being.
James T. Moore
As many of you had noticed, I have not written in a long time. I can tell you that I have been working out everyday though, and that I have not written, because of a lack of inspiration, and because it is hard to keep up with this blogging thing. Today, though, I feel like posting this short poem. Although, extremely simple, i find it very pretty.
Ok, let me get it out of the way. Danica is hot! She is not only a very attractive woman, but she also is an absolutely top race car driver. I wanted to write this quick post to congratulate her in her first victory in the IndyCar series in Japan. I am so very happy for her. She has been very close to win since she decided to enter this top sport which is completely dominated by men, but have been falling short. Few times obtaining second place and in top ten. Now finally she got her win!! I have always felt a great attraction for strong, independent, and attractive women. Danica Patrick is one of those women. I do not know anything about car racing. I, however, follow sports and stats, and I know that it has been a pretty long road for her to get here. She made history, and although many of us learned about it, not enough people actually understand the magnigtud of her accomplishment. I am still at my work and ready to go home, but before leaving, I really wanted to put this post out in to the world. She deserves this. I know my post is not CNN, or ESPN, or greatly known, but I want to officially and publicly congratulate her. Congratulations Danica where ever you are. Maybe you are celebrating, maybe back at work practicing for next race, good job anyways. Many more I know will come. Now you did your first win, now you know Now everybody has to watch out.
My work out is going great. Now is getting warmer here in beautiful south Florida. Now it is time for me to push myself a bit more.
What is it with all of us in not being honest to ourself? These past months, I have to describe it as one of the most stressful in my adult life. When I die, if some sort of stats have been kept about my life and how stress I was through it, these months would be somewhere in the top. There are many reasons why, lots have to be with just feeling tired. People seem to want my input into things, but not really. I think all of us as human beings can improve ourself if we could only stop, pause, and have a good self analysis of ourself, even if is something that can hurt our ego., or feelings. If somebody comes to you right now and asks you who are you? can you say who you are? what are you believes? what are your values? If in one or two sentence you have to say who you are? Would you say I am so and so director of so and so? or I am so and so a teacher, a computer tech.,A lawyer? a Vice president of a company? etc. etc.. Are you what you do? what about if you lost your job? and you can no longer say, I am so and so a director of so and so. who would you say that you are? are you a son, or daughter, etc? Part of this analysis I take it from Dr. Nick Hall’s book, “Change your beliefs change your life.” I’ve have been recently reading and listening to the book for about my 5th time. My question to all of you is what is your personal identity? How would you describe your values, your belief, and your goals? and most important of all, are these beliefs, and values helping you to make progress towards your goals? If your values and beliefs are keeping you from accomplishing this goals, you probably have experience in your life many negative emotions; and if you do not know what your beliefs and values are, then you probably bounce from one emotion to another without knowing why. I am not going to go into much more about the book. In a nutshell Dr. Hall explains that many times when we are confronted with an actual hard or tough decision, perhaps even one that scares us, we respond base on our beliefs, and not the reality in front of us.
I believe that many times people contradict themselves about many things because of this notion. Many times I get approach by others and get asked for advice about certain things and they hear me, acknowledge me, but do not follow my advice. I am not saying that they must follow my advice, but I get frustrated when then the same people come back and asks me about the same advice they didn’t follow before. I think this happens because we all, including me, know what we need to do about things, but we do not want to go through what it takes. We all “want to have the cake and eat it at the same time.” We all want to loose weight, but keep eating plenty and not exercise, we all want to be financially successful and free, but watch TV and go have fun every weekend with family and friends and dedicate little time towards accomplishing financial goal. we all want a successful married but to all things be done our way, we all want a fulfilling relationship, but not go through what makes a relationship significant and fulfilling. In essence many of us have an idea of what we want, but we do not have the honesty to ourself to recognize what we have to do about it.
I continue to be true to myself to the best humanly possible, and my workouts still going on. I need to work on my food consumption since I like to eat and I like food. But I am consistent and strong as a rock with accomplishing my work outs.
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
The word fonions comes from one of my kids teacher who would called the young children little fonions. I’m not sure what the word means really, but I like it. Since the first time I heard it, I started to use it. So in a way, like in many other times, my kids taught me something new. Many times, I would like to teach them or tell them so many things. I would like to tell them that it is the journey what is the essence of a goal, or a challenge. We often get confuse between what we want to do and your experience while working in what you want. The important part of any journey is exactly that, the journey, not the were you get to. Where you get to, whether is a certain financial level, or finish a triathlon, or a certain professional level in your company is not the important part. The experiences, the decisions, the actions, that you take, and, who many times, you slowly become is what is important.
Happy New Year to all of you!!!! I have officially been working out for two consecutive years without missing one day!! some days where much slower than other, but I honored everyday, and will do for the rest of my life!!!
