A Lifetime Of Training

"A lifetime of training for just ten seconds." -Jesse Owens

Closer To The Heart

"Closer To The Heart" By Rush
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart



Leadership is explained perfectly in this song.
Leadership is all about the heart.

A Championship

And then they want more."

The Chase

Championships are chasing us."

The Finish

It's having what it takes to finish." -MJ

And one day you will be right."

Perfect Effort

"No one expects you to play perfect.
Everyone expects you to give a perfect effort."

The Dream

The Dream Of True Coaching

And I become all the other dreamers." -Walt Whitman

Rumi

 

Your task is not to seek for success,

but merely to seek and find

all the barriers within yourself that

you have built against it. --Rumi

Load The Ship & Risk The Ocean

Load the ship and set out.

No one knows for certain whether

the vessel will sink or reach the harbor.

Cautious people say,

"I'll do nothing until I can be sure".

Merchants know better.

If you do nothing, you lose.

Don't be one of those merchants

who wont risk the ocean. -Rumi

I'll Meet You There

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and right doing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.

Looking For Success?

When you come looking for success,
your bag will be examined
to see how much it can hold;
it will be filled accordingly.

Rumi

Two Wings To Fly

Life turns you from one feeling to another 

and teaches you by means of opposites, 

so that you will have two wings to fly - not one.

Rumi
