I shared a story in which I was very close to death at 14 years old. And through God and a miracle, I am here today.

Cherish your time you have to spend with your friends and family. You never know which day may be your last, so try to make sure you leave everyone with a positive impact when you interact with others. Keep a smile on your face and leave with a good impression.

Some Wise Quotes

When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new – Dalai Lama

Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do – Unknown

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live – Dalai Lama

Open-minded people don’t care to be right, they care to understand. There’s never a right or wrong answer. Everything is about understanding – Unknown

The true mark of maturity is when somebody hurts you and you try to understand their situation instead of trying to hurt them back – Unknown

I read my response to an email chain with a former boss from April 17, 2003.  Towards the end he asked me if I missed my days as a volunteer baseball and soccer coach and the days when my children were still at home.  In it the following thoughts and points were presented.

Do you miss the past? Do you wish you had done things differently?  Do you find joy in the here and now?

What we make of life is mostly above our shoulders.  How much better would it be if we let our hearts rule!  How much better would our memories be if we just let our hearts have more influence and be less selfish!

The impact the parents have on their children and their children have on parents is a blessing.  Parents are teachers, bosses, and friends to them but the emphasis must be on the first two.  They can find friends elsewhere but they can’t find other parents.  What a joy it is when their is mutual respect especially as they reach adulthood.

Strive to live in a way where the need to “go back” doesn’t exist, where there is satisfaction in the past.  Look forward to the next bend in the road or the crest of hill knowing that the days of the past will help us face it.  Live by faith with Spirit and Truth.

I am so thankful that I have joined up with F3.  I am thankful that my son, I-Beam, thought to invite me, to have faith that I could endure this.  I look forward to the Fitness, I have come to cherish the Fellowship, I am blown away by the Faith that I have come to experience with F3.  I don’t know how long I will be physically able to stay involved but I do know that whether it is 1 year or 5, I will look back with great satisfaction knowing that this time will help me face the future.
