It is no difference that his personal philosophy and his professional life state the same thing as I have heard him say: so many times in life, as well as sports, when things aren't working as we want them to, always go back to basics, do the basics right and the advanced things have to work. Any time our life is out of control or out of shape it is because the basics of our life are not being taken care of.
Anytime I feel my life or myself losing control, the first thing I do is stop and if I do not know what to do next, then I stop, do something I do know how to do: it may be sitting down taking a few controlled breaths or something as simple as kneeling and grounding myself by placing both hands on the ground or even placing them around a tree to ground myself and to feel the natural energy flow through me.
Then when I do not know what to do, I just begin to know what it is I do know to do: take care of myself, my family; take care of any responsibilities I may have. I begin to consciously begin to dot the i's and cross the t's as I ask Spirit what I am to do next. Then I do what I know to do until Spirit shows me the next step or the next thing I am to do. I do nothing else until I KNOW it has been shown to me. Then when it is shown, I immediately take action unless the action to be taken is to WAIT. Many times we are put in a stuck situation, for it isn't our TIME ... YET.
As we move WITH Spirit - in Spirit's TIME - things get done, and done faster as we allow it to happen. Spirit's time is always ON TIME; never late or early, just perfect. As we realize that we are ALWAYS in the right place, at the right time, with the right people doing the right thing no matter what it may feel like, it is the knowingness that it is right for this MOMENT in TIME.
It may not be for the next: if not then we will be given the opportunity to move into the next MOMENT to do the right things with the right people. The thing is that no matter where we are or what we are doing it is always right, no matter what it is, as long as we allow Spirit to work through us it will always come out right; better than anything we would possibly plan.
Use that down-time we may have to work on us to make us the very best us we can possibly be. Stop trying to make others over. All we can do is work on ourselves and be an example to the world of what Spirit can do.
Remember I love and believe in you as you are right now.
