Just Like Riding A Bike
Someone said “enough already with the boxing, you are the Spinning ‘Rabbi’ give us something that has to do with a bike”. Okay here it is
“A lesson from a bicycle: one can only maintain balance by moving forward”. – unattributed

“If you will it, it is no dream”. – Theodore Herzl
Treat others with the encouragement that shows you believe that they can then the odds that they will goes up dramatically.
“You cannot teach humans anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves.” – Galileo
Put both of them together and the odds of having the world we all wish for goes up dramatically
“How wonderful it is, that nobody need wait a single minute before starting to improve the world”. – Anne Frank
Yom Hashoah
Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. In honor of all those who perished and what lessons we can learn from remembering
“What does it mean to remember? It is to live in more than one world, to
prevent the past from fading, and to call upon the future to illuminate it.” Elie Wiesel“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” Albert Einstein
A Quick Thought That Deserves Lots Of Thought
“If I sometimes doubt that man will achieve his mortal potentialities, I never doubt that he can”. —Bernard Baruch
“Winners Are Willing To Do What Others Are Not” from “Million Dollar Baby”(cont’d from yesterday)
Let’s look a little deeper into this quote from yesterday. A true winner is not necessarily one who comes in first place. A true winner is one who mines as much of their potential at every moment in everything they do. A true winner realizes that there is “no such thing as perfect just good tries”.
A true winner is also humble. He does not stand above on the podium but alongside all others. A true winner recognizes that all are capable of being winners in their respective pursuits and wishes to lend a hand by quiet example.
“A man who walks with confidence and strength creates a pathway for others”. – Hallmark card
“The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own”. – Benjamin Disraeli
Keep Fighting
You’re the in the ring fighting to see your dream and goal become a reality. You’ve lost the first few rounds. It’s not going as planned or as you had hoped. The fight isn’t over, but you wish it was and you fight like it is. You fight like you have already lost and therefore you will. Once again, sing along with me, “It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight, rising up to the challenge of our rival”, Survivor.
“If there’s magic in boxing, it’s the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance. Beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It’sthe magic or risking everything, for a dream that nobody sees but you”. – Scrap, the boxing gym manager in “Million Dollar Baby”
“Winners are willing to do what others are not.” – From “Million Dollar Baby”

Today
We have all at some point and in some degree spent time thinking about those things from our past that we miss. If we remember those things for the happiness and lessons they brought us then we are prepared for our future. If those things that we miss consume us then we are anchored in the past.
“If you spend all day missing things, you will miss today”
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift…. that’s why they call it the present”. – unattributed
