What Do You Drive?

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

If you’ve watched much TV recently you’ve probably seen the new Cadillac ads.  The one’s that say we could tell you about all the cool features we’ve got, but the real question is:

When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?

Makes you seriously question the car you are driving, doesn’t it? 

I’ve never been a big Cadillac fan.  I don’t dislike them.  Just never was attracted to them, and now all I want to do is go test drive that new CTS.  That’s a dang good ad in my book.

But a much bigger question than, “What Do You Drive?” is:

What’s Driving You?   In other words,  

1). What do you feel really passionate about? 

2). What gets you fired up and turns you on? 

3). What makes you feel especially good inside?

Till you answer questions like that, success will probably elude you. Give it some thought for now.  Next time I’ll start helping you unearth your passions and core desires.

P.S. One thing that helps me a lot is to do “The Complete Breath” 4 or 5 times to calm my mind and relax my body before asking myself important questions like that.

Thank you, and God bless.

Has Anybody Here Seen Elmer Mcallister?

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

  

Have you heard about the high school basketball coach who in the midst of a difficult season stood up before his team and said …

 “Did Michael Jordan ever quit?” … “No!”

“Did Lance Armstrong ever quit? … “No!”

“Did Muhammad Ali ever quit? …”No!”

“Did Elmer McAllister ever quit?” …

There was a long silence. Finally one player summoned enough boldness to speak up and ask,

“Coach, who is Elmer McAllister? We’ve never heard of him.

The coach snapped back, “Of course you never heard of him.

He quit!”

Go and Play to Win,

P.S. This blog has evolved out of my work as a basketball shooting coach and reflects my deep interest Inner Game, i.e. mind power, the law of attraction, inspiration, imagination, wealth, abundance, etc.

I’ve learned when you consistently act from inside out there is power available which makes plain old hard work about the worse way to accomplish something. When I talk about Easy Street I’m not talking about being lazy.  I’m talking about turning your work into play.  You’ll see what I mean as things go on.  

Thanks much.
