Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts

Well, I have managed to get at least one entry in every month since moving! Just a couple of updates:
  • I signed up for the Florida 70.3 at Disney World on May 16th, 2010 (We're taking the girls)
  • My first season as Head Coach at RNE Swim is wrapping up next week and although the team was small they exceeded my expectations and made me so proud to be their coach.
As I continue to struggle with adjusting to living down south and as I begin my journey of training for Florida, which starts next month, I look to music to inspire, teach me and lift my spirits.
I listened to this song last night on the way home from a swim meet.

Travel like a king
Listen to the inner voice
A higher wisdom is at work for you
Conqering the stumbling blocks come easier
When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite
Every ending is a new beginning
Life is an endless unfoldment
Change your mind, and you change your relation to time
You can find the answer
The solution lies within the problem
The answer is in every question. Dig it?
An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away
Inspire yourself
Your life is yours
It fits you like your skin
The oak sleeps in the acorn
The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed
The bird waits in the egg
God waits for his unfoldment in man
Fly on,
Children Play on
You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
There is no chance, coincidence or accident
In a world ruled by law and divine order
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self
Free your mind and your ass will follow

The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
For seeds grow after their kind
Play on, children

Every thought felt as true
Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind
Take roots in your subconscious
Blossoms sooner or later into an act
And bears its own fruit
Good thoughts bring forth good fruit
Bullshit thoughts rot your meat
Think right, and you can fly
The kingdom of heaven is within
Free your mind, and your ass will follow
Play on, children
Sing on, lady……Yeah

-George Clinton (Funkadelic-“Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts”)

If you do listen to the whole song, the lyrics do not come on until just over half way through the song.
Peace

Hey... glad to hear your first season of coaching went well.

Oh a triathalon down in Disnesy sounds like fun and who doesn't like Disney. I am sure you are looking forward to get back into the swing of training.

I always get great new songs out of your blog... those lyrics are great. Looks like a new song to download.

I hope your adjustment struggles work themselves out soon.

Hope everyone is doing well!
