As you begin to witness with new eyes and are no longer dependent upon history to teach you what is, but to receive the information that might be gifted to you by what you see, not what others have claimed it as, your relationship to the physical manifest world is altered.

“`I found this analogy interesting:☕
I am holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into me or shakes my arm, making me spill my coffee everywhere.
Why did I spill the coffee?
“Well because someone bumped into me, of course!”
Wrong answer!
I spilled the coffee because there was coffee in my cup. Had there been tea in the cup, I would have spilled tea.
Whatever is inside the cup, is what will spill out.
Therefore, when life comes along and shakes me (which WILL happen), whatever is inside me will come out. It’s easy to fake it, until I get rattled.
So we have to ask ourselves.. “what’s in my cup?”
When life gets tough, what spills over?
Joy, gratefulness, peace and humility?
Or anger, bitterness, harsh words and reactions?
I choose!
Let’s work towards filling our cups with gratitude, forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation for ourselves; and kindness, gentleness and love for others.“`

Commander’s Intent is a statement that defines the mission commander’s vision of a successful outcome: It must be clear, concise, and easily understood. It’s the mission’s big picture, the logline. The Commander’s Intent should be easy to identify. First, it answers the five Ws: who, what, when, where, and why? Second, it’s repeated at the beginning and end of the briefing. And third, it begins with the statement: “The single most important thing we must accomplish is…”
Brevity clarifies, and clarity inspires.

If you are too engaged with your intellect, you will not find time to be engaged with your total being. If you are too much in your head you will miss much that is available. The way can be known only if you deeply participate with existence. It cannot be understood from the outside, you have to become a participant.
Osho
Osho, one of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of our time, presents The Sutra of 42 Chapters—a scripture compiled in the first century C.E by a Chinese emperor. Using wonderful anecdotes throughout, Osho weaves his own unique insights into this profound ancient wisdom and expands its meaning for our time. As we travel with the Buddha on a path of radical wisdom, we’ll laugh or shake our heads at the folly, the ineptitude, or the goodness of the characters in the stories—and gain knowledge and understanding at the same time. Osho engages us at every level to help us experience the Buddha’s teachings and take in their timeless truths. A powerful, inspirational gem of a book.

A phenomenon when first published in 1972, the Inner Game was a real revelation. Instead of serving up technique, it concentrated on the fact that, as Gallwey wrote, “Every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game.” The former is played against opponents, and is filled with lots of contradictory advice; the latter is played not against, but within the mind of the player, and its principal obstacles are self-doubt and anxiety. Gallwey’s revolutionary thinking, built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, was really a primer on how to get out of your own way to let your best game emerge. It was sports psychology before the two words were pressed against each other and codified into an accepted discipline.
The new edition of this remarkable work–Billie Jean King called the original her tennis bible–refines Gallwey’s theories on concentration, gamesmanship, breaking bad habits, learning to trust yourself on the court, and awareness. “No matter what a person’s complaint when he has a lesson with me, I have found the most beneficial first step,” he stressed, “is to encourage him to see and feel what he is doing–that is, to increase his awareness of what actually is.”
