The Daily Scroll

While out surfing with Coach Mo, he told me that it's better to be on the next big wave and have it all to myself than to be on the best wave and fight 20-25 others guys for it. As with everything in my life, surfing has taught me a great life lesson about learning how to calm down when shit doesn't go my way. I was missing one wave after another, getting angrier and angrier at the waves, which then made my technique completely fall apart and I got worse and worse. So, I sat on my board and for 5 minutes, focused on calming down my breath, out there in the ocean. The more calm I got, the more power I had on the waves when I went back to finish out my surf session. Sometimes the greatest strength we can show is by learning how to calm the fuck down.

I could feel a bit of a head cold coming on, but that doesn't mean that I slow down in what I expect to produce each day. I don't slow down, regardless of whether or not obstacles such as sickness are thrown at me, like the snot in the back of my throat. This is an example of the resistance that gets in our way that prevents us from getting what we need to get done. I'm going to have you consider that the individuals that succeed in life despite setbacks are those that are willing to keep going. You don't have to go fast....just don't go slow.

For all of those parents out there, I'm sure you know exactly what I mean when I state that half of the relationship I have with my kids is about going to war with them. Not because I don't love them nor is it because I don't care: it's BECAUSE I care that I go to war with them in the first place. There are strengths and weaknesses inside of each one of them that teach me crucial lessons about myself, making me realize that 80% of the time that an issue or challenge comes up with my kids, it's on me. Inside of my world I have been brought to this place of what I'm experiencing (including the type of children that are under my stewardship to raise) a reality that is meant specifically for me. You have a reality that is specifically meant for you, yet regardless of what our reality is, that which we seek to bring us power comes about through hunting for the truth within. The war that I have with my kids is really about the war that I have with myself.

It's a hard concept for many to grasp a life of having it all, because it becomes overwhelming trying to do it all on our own to obtain that. We've got to be able to delegate in order to live a life of having it all, realizing that we cannot do all that's expected of us. When we are willing to hand off the power to allow other people to grow, it helps us accomplish things that we would otherwise not be able to do because of all of the other responsibilities and expectations placed on your shoulders. In turn, these people that we're willing to delegate power and responsibilities to gain more power, certainty and confidence within their own life, perpetuating eternal expansion and growth so that anyone who seeks a life of having it all can do it, recognizing that it will only come about through accepting help from others or delegating responsibilities out. Some of this delegation can even come in the form of systematizing and automating roles and actions that would otherwise consume a lot of time and energy that can best be spent strengthening our skill sets. That being said, there are also things in our lives that need to be deleted if it doesn't bring us closer to the life that we want.

While taking my daughters to school today, my oldest is notorious for not giving a shit about certain things like homework and follow thru with shit like bringing her laptop back to school after taking it home. Yet, when she chooses to be committed, she is all in, as she's demonstrated after receiving the lead for the middle school production of Mary Poppins. This shows that she's capable to do whatever the hell she wants to do in life. There are things that we have been told are the way it is, yet there are possibilities that these beliefs are not true and do not apply to us. Do you have the courage to consider other possibilities that are out there to make your life the one you want to have?
