Am I Serious?

Recently I have been very challenged. I say that I want to help people understand what is possible for us all and yet I do not regularly post now do I? Things have not been going according to my plan and that has been allowed to interfere with my life. It has also caused me to question whether or not the universe is in agreement with me about my ability as a coach.

Last month the mayor had congestive heart failure. For a bit they didn't think he'd make it. A lot of that was because when he finally realized that he needed to go to the hospital the ambulance took 35 minutes to arrive. I could have had him at the hospital in 40 minutes or less but I didn't know that the 35 minutes was an average time around here. I guess I should have figured this being the middle of nowhere and they being all volunteer, but hey, I have not needed them in the twenty something years I've been here.

This would have been bad enough but we have been striving for over a year to recover from losses we experienced since Nov of 2007. We keep what we want in front of us and we act on it but it seems that the universe puts up concrete walls to block us. So we say ok, lets do plan B, then ok let's do plan C and so on until we are now on something like plan x and still hitting walls. But I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and that light is so very welcome.

I know that this is all for a reason and that we have had something to learn and much growing to do but........

So I remind myself that I only need to think about what I DO want and not give energy to what I don't want. The only time you really lose is when you quit. And no I am not talking about a game like baseball where when the game is over and there is a clear winner and loser, I am talking about in the game of life where each day is an opportunity to win.
