Be Unfulfilled Until the End...

I was talking with a customer today and he mentioned the movie Second String. He was throwing in all this info about the movie I couldn't really grasp all of it but I do remember his point. He said the movie was about a football team. The starters (cream of the crop) and the Second String (guys next to the better.) Well, the starters where acting as if they won every game already and it caused them to slip psychology and they weren't into the game, so the coach sent in the second string and they took over. I'm not going to spoil the story so i'll leave it there. Well, the point is, that when you don't have something, you really desire it and for some that can really motivate you to get what you want. Also being complacent wont get you any further. Sometimes you have to learn how it is to not have something to learn how to have it. You hear all these rags to riches stories, people not having anything and wanting it all, and then finally having it. Then you see in the media all these spoiled brats who have everything materially and it raises the question "what are they doing with their lives?" Desire can really be amplified through negative feelings like frustration, jealousy, envy, and not having. No i'm not recommending being negative, totally, but being positive all the time is straining and unnatural. Also being unfulfilled to the end reassures that you'll always be hungry. I'm not saying "don't do anything fulfilling." But i'm still thinking about it myself. Whose more likely to go farther, someone aiming to run a mile, or someone aiming for two miles. Even if you reach for the unattainable, you're likely to go far, but sometimes you have to realistic. Well those are my thoughts.

oh yeah if the grammar sucks, it's cause I typed this in a hurry and wanted to get it out there. I'll edit it later.

My Thoughts On Having a Vision

Peoples goals in life are not similar to everyone else. A Vision can be a way of living, a set of goals, an interpretation, an observation used to plan action, and so on. Mainly our Vision is our tool.

For example.

When I'm walking in a hallway of a library, it's dark because one of the light bulbs in the lantern(electric lantern) is dieing out, the hallway is fifty feet long, and 3 feet wide, there are tall bookshelves all with a lemon scent, and thick books in them. Now I look at all this and see a scene for a movie.

I'm at coffee shop and I meet a real cool person, I see a character for a play.

It's lunch time so I go in my car to recline so I'm half asleep. I make sure I'm parked under a tree because it's sunny outside. The sun is shining between the branches and leaves, so I see the shadow of the tree on my steering wheel, it's also a windy day and the tree dances to the wind and so does it's shadow. I think of a poem(a vision as well)

I see a kid in his bike riding down the street. I see the ending scene of a movie.

The way I interpret the World, is Vision for me.

For LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers.

His vision is what causes him to make great runs. Before the ball is even snapped. He's reading the defense and seeing which line backer is going where. Whose going to block the Cornerback. Where the holes are going to be. He's reading the defense before the ball is snapped.

Watching the Secret, you hear people talking about imagining an opening parking space and getting one, posting pictures of houses on cork boards and buying that house, painting pictures of them having success with women and having success with women.

What it does is that it puts an awareness into your mind, and when an opportunity comes up you'll notice it, because you're read for it, it's already in your mind.

You're conditioning yourself to use your Vision.

Well, so I've got an idea, I got index cards, and I'll write Vision on the blank side, and on the side with the lines, I'm going to write what it is I want, and every night(hopefully) I'll take a look at those cards and take my time to think about what's written, and how it would feel after having what I want.

LaDainian Tomlinson

After watching Sundays Game, The San Diego Chargers at Tennessee Titans I am very inspired by LaDainian Tomlinson's performance. We we're down 2 touchdowns in the beginning of the fourth quarter but through out the game you can see LT playing with an aggression, he wanted to win. That's why I had faith that they would win. Philip Rivers turned up his aggressiveness in the fourth quarter. We scored two touchdowns to tie it up 9 seconds before the last quarter ended. We went to Overtime where LT exploded through the defense and scored the winning touchdown, CHARGERS WIN!!!

Watching LT play really inspired me. The symbolism of him running down the field to score the TD is going the extra mile to get what you want. The blockers, the lineman, the Quarterback, the receivers, the tight end, the full back, are those who supported you.

I really look up to LT. He's a better person in the community as well. He always gives back. Last Thanks Giving he was giving away Turkey's. In fact the whole San Diego Chargers Team gives back. Philip Rivers, Kris Dielman, Kassim Osgood along with Bill Pollakov gave Free Bikes to a whole elementary school. I'm sure those kids were really happy. Mike Scifres, Jaucques Cesaire and Malcom Floyd joined the Charger Girls to sell newspapers to raise money for Rady's Children Hospital. The article can be found here.

LT's character on the field and off the field really inspire me and I admire him. He's a great person. He even pays respect to those he admired and idolized when he was kid. Last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, he tied Walter Payton for career touchdown by running in for his 110'th TD. He then ran another TD to pass Walter Payton's record with 111 career rushing touchdowns. LT is third all time. After the game, he did a news conference wearing Payton's Jersey paying tribute. I want to do that. Pay tribute to those that help me out. LT also knows Vision is important, as you can see in the YouTube Video. You know where you're going when you have a Vision.

LT is always breaking records, not to mention he was the NFL League's MVP last season. He is the first player to Run 1000 yards and have 100 receptions in one season(2003), he's ran for more that 10,000 career yards, he holds the record for most rushing touchdowns in a season(2006) with 28 touchdowns and has more. As for now, he wants to win a SuperBowl.

LT is the MAN!!!
