Its All A Conspiracy
If you've been having trouble feeling the gratitude
I was talking about last week try this on for size.
Thousands of things go right for you every day,
beginning the moment you wake up. Through
some magic you don't fully understand, you're still
breathing and your heart is beating, even though
you've been unconscious for many hours. The air
is a mix of gases that's just right for your body's
needs, as it was before you fell asleep.
You can see! Light of many colors floods into
your eyes, registered by nerves that work to
perfection in most people. The interesting gift of
these vivid hues comes to you courtesy of an
unimaginably immense globe of fire, the sun,
which continually detonates nuclear reactions in
order to convert its body into light and heat and
energy for your personal use.
Did you know that the sun is located at the
precise distance from you to be of perfect service?
If it were any closer, you'd fry, and if it were any
further away, you'd freeze.
Here's another of the sun's benedictions: It
appears to rise over the eastern horizon right on
schedule every day, as it has since long before
you were born.
Do you remember when you were born, by the
way? It was a difficult miracle that involved
many people who worked hard on your behalf.
No less miraculous is the fact you have
continued to grow since then, with millions of
new cells being born inside you to replace the
old ones that die. All of this happens whether or
not you ever think about it.
On this day, like almost every other, you have
awoken inside a temperature-controlled shelter.
You have a home! Your bed and pillow are soft
and you're covered by comfortable blankets.
The electricity is turned on, as usual. Somehow,
in ways you're barely aware of, a massive power
plant at an unknown distance from your home is
transforming fuel into currents of electricity that
reach you through mostly hidden conduits in the
exact amounts you need, and all you have to do
to control the flow is flick small switches with
your fingers.
And that's just scratching the surface as written
by Rob Brezsny the author of: PRONOIA Is the
Antidote for Paranoia: How the Whole World is
Conspiring to Shower You With Blessings
If your shot isn't what you want it to be you can
be very grateful you can do something about it.
All it takes is a quality decision, getting the best
information, and putting in the time.
Once you get started it really becomes fun.
Shoot For The Stars,
P.S. If you need help with the information part
make sure you check out Coach Hal Wissel's
Basketball Shooting DVD's. Hal teaches a reliable,
quick release shot that will serve the mature
shooter well at:
http://www.deandelker.com/wissel_order.html
P.S.S If you are a younger shooter or a coach at
any level Coach Tom Nordland's Swish 2 DVD is
chocked full of easy-to- understand shooting info
and drills.
There's a reason Swish 1 was a best-seller, and
Swish 2 is twice as long and more comprehensive.
