Ropes!





When I was growing up as a young man a metaphor  I was taught by my tribal  leaders was about a Kite.  When you fly a Kite the string is what gives the Kite its stability.  The stings connected to the ground is what keeps the Kite in flight and not whisked away in the wind. Keep a tight hold to the ground through the string.   The Kite is you, the Sting is the principles taught. This guiding principles are what will keep you grounded and safe.

I asked the question "What if there is a storm?  A Kite bound to the ground by string will  that not tear apart the Kite?".  The string becomes a burden.    Like the elephant and the string. A false thought.   A chain.  What If I am not a Kite?  But an Eagle?  Then the string becomes a rope that ties me down.  Causing me  harm.  Preventing me from soaring high above the storm. It Keeps me from soaring high in flight and reaching my full potential.  The string becomes bondage. What I was being taught by my tribe was actually hurting  me. 

I realized I am  not a Kite.  I am an Eagle.  I cut the ropes. I rid myself of the false paradigms I was taught.  I used the ropes to make me stronger.  There have been and will be  ropes (challenges, negative thoughts, falsehoods) that pull me down. I now use them to make me stronger and gain wisdom.  I then cut them! Freeing me of the burden. 

As a free  Eagle, I now fly  high, stronger than ever! Out of or away from the storm!  I have insight and a vision from high above.  I have the focus of an Eagle.  The Grace!  I have now become a stronger member of my Tribe! Self confident!  Healthy in Mind, Body, Spirit and Heart (Kokoro)! 

Cut away from the ropes of your life that are holding you back!  Soar!  Fly High!  Succeed!  IT IS TIME To FLY MY FRIENDS!


Hooyah!


Stay tuned!  Next time, Be in Life like and Eagle!  Not a Duck!

Why I Serve

Image
"Life is Suffering" I am grateful for the system of Unbeatable Mind.  Mark Divine put it together to get people through the toughest training on the planet.  BUDS! (Is Mark a poser? Or the real deal). He gave me the tools. I did the work. It was always up to me.  What it boils down to is what Buddha taught.....life is suffering.  When you let go, you understand it’s ok to suffer.  Get calm, get in your own head.  Get really quiet.  You gain an internal knowing.  I got this!  It’s going to be ok.  It’s the Big 4 (Breathe, Positive Attitude, Micro Goals, Envision Success).  Then you are at peace.  Peace overflows. You are at first alone. Then with fellow sufferers. You serve yourself.  You serve your Swim buddy (your inner circle), your Ohana (your family).  Your tribe.  The world.  This is the flow state in its purest form.  You give, the universe gives back in spades. You support your “boat crew” w...

Accountability Mirror

The Accountability Mirror.  What is it?  Goggins describes it like this:  You get up go to the mirror.  Who is looking back?   Are you seeing the person you expected?  Can you see your future Kick Ass self somewhere in the mirror?  Ask yourself "What is it going to take to get there?  What do you have to do".  Are you willing to do what it takes?  Are you willing to SUFFER?  Are you willing to get after it?  Are your willing to sacrifice? Who are You?  Are you seeing the person reflect back at you the person you think you are?  Or do you have work to do.  Are you Accountable?  Is what you do in private reflecting what you do and how you act in public? This is the starting line to your future!  Now is the time!  No longer are you looking at the wake of your life!  But setting the course from the front!  You see your future! It is Awesome! Now is the time!  The time to...
