Why you have quit and failed on your goals and your resolutions? It’s not that you are lazy, or stupid, or a slacker. It’s that you were not having FUN with what you wanted to do. It’s that you didn’t have a path to get there. It’s that you didn’t have a community to run with. Whether it’s weight loss, fitness, building a business, manifesting or fixing a relationship, or finding inner peace, figure out how to have FUN doing it. Here are some ways to make that happen…

I was looking at some of my past videos and realized how important THIS one is for right now. Believe it or not, some of us are going to struggle with unwanted feelings during the holiday season. Here are two welcome things: a look at lush summer time scenery, and a way out of feeling bad into feeling better.

Happy Holidays - for real,

Larry

What We Can Learn From Little League Baseball: Everything

August 8, 2008 by Larry · Leave a Comment
Filed under: No More Holding Back

Originally written two years ago. The tournament is back in town, and I came across this in my files.

One of the joys of living in Bristol Connecticut (this particular section of it, anyway) is the fact that the city plays host to the Eastern Regional Little League Championship. Each August, teams from Maine to Maryland gather for a week long tournament. The winner goes to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

We’re fortunate enough to be in walking distance to the complex - in fact it’s where Jillian plays her home games for the Edgewood Mets during softball season. So at least two or three times each year we walk or bike over and take in all the festivities.

Yeah, if you’re a ten or thirteen year old girl, it’s heaven. All your friends from the school year are there. There’s a beach volleyball court set up (actually used for wild games of killer dodgeball). Hot dogs, pizza, fried dough, ice cream, soft drinks and other ball park fare is out and available.

And of course, there are members of the opposite sex to check out. Unless of course you’re still ten and not yet interested in boys. Then you get to “heeley” around with Dad chasing you.

But the real draw…at least for the sports fans like myself…are the games.

And what games they are! 12 year old man-children roam the field like giants. They’re superbly coached, superbly disciplined young athletes. The pitchers throw faster fastballs than I’ve ever thrown in my life (and I was fast as a younger guy). They throw them from 45 feet instead of the 60 feet six inches on a full size field. And they throw curve balls, sliders, change ups - the works.

And somehow, the hitters hit them. Sometimes over the fence. Ever want to see pure unadulterated joy? Watch a 12 year old circle the bases after hitting one over the center field fence in the biggest game of his young life. And watch the reaction of the players on the bench. More rapture than any meditative state I’ve ever achieved.

What can we take away from this experience? Everything. The sense of community and shared purpose that pulsates through the stadium. The outstanding sportsmanship from both sets of parents. Sure, Little League parents get a bad rap sometimes. But nothing but exemplary behavior was on hand this year.

But mostly it’s the game. It’s the pure joy of playing from kids who have worked, sacrificed, mastered their talents and simultaneously play with the discipline of men and the enthusiasm of boys.

It’s the will to compete and the acceptance of whatever outcome occurs, because they just love the game so much!

Imagine if more of us lived our lives that way. Grateful to be in the arena. Honing our skills, lending our passion, and being happy with the outcome - no matter the score - because we love the game.

Have a great weekend!
Larry

What Do You Call The Person Who Graduates Last In His Medical School Class?

July 18, 2008 by Larry · Leave a Comment

Well, what do you call that person?

We spend much of our lives in a state of homeostasis, or trying to keep a balance of where we think we’re supposed to be.

Think of a thermostat. It’s set at a certain temperature. If the room gets too cold, the heater comes on. Warm air is pumped in until the room is goes back to the thermostat setting. If there’s a cooling unit, same thing happens when the room gets too warm.

That’s homeostasis.

Human beings, especially in their interactions with others have that same mechanism. We have a set point for our lives, and for our dealings with the significant people in our lives. When things get too hot for our comfort level, we cool them down. If they cool down too much, we turn up the heat. Balance is restored - at least our own personal version of balance.

Now some of us - especially the wise, ambitious far-sighted people reading this story - want to grow. Even when the forces around us pull back to our current reality, we still have that desire for more.

The discomfort of breaking out of our little box kicks in.

But so does what Eric Butterworth calls Divine Dissatisfaction. “Dammit, I’m supposed to be doing more!”

You may be in that place. I’m often in that place. Someone who I love dearly is in that place right now.

There’s a saying many of the modern day sages use, and it may be the right one for you to hear right now…

“You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going.”

My dear friend wants to get it right. She is SO blessed with wisdom and love it makes her crazy to not express all of it.

I hear you.

Please understand this: the Universe supports those who make a commitment to their dreams, even when things seem way out of balance.

And our institutions - family, workplace, soccer leagues etc. - can be surprisingly flexible when it comes to supporting people who want change.

The ones that aren’t? Don’t worry. You’ll either overpower them, or move on.

You’ll stumble, fall, get scraped up…

…and find those who are moving in your direction and receive love and comfort from them.

You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going.

So what do you call the person who graduated last in his class from medical school?

Doctor.

With Love,

Larry

Larry and Linda are off the train. But have they reached their destination? Sometimes a course correction in the middle (or even toward the end) of your journey brings tremendous rewards. A little patience, discipline, maturity and flexibility go a long way!
