Keeping Focus on the Right Thing

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was watching / listening to the New York Knicks blowout victory today to go to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. After the game, Knicks player Landry Shamet was asked about the historic 3-point shooting of the team today and the effect that had on the game. I really appreciated his answer. In effect he said not to focus on the result, but rather the process that leads to the result:

“We realized that happens because we play a certain way and we did the small things we needed to do in order to get those results, and I think that’s where our focus needs to be and that’s where it is. That’s I think why we were able to go out and perform the way we did tonight, cause we didn’t get caught up on shots just going in – kept doing the things we needed to do.”

a Poem to Grateful

If I stop and think of How my Life is Freely given to me. I don’t know how to earn it, I don’t know of it being bought or earned. I’m Freely here, and I don’t know when its going to end.

And how valuable this is. How divine, gratefulness naturally arises

Gratitude and Happiness

When this difficult thing occurs to us…they are opportunities and those who avail themselves of those opportunities are the ones that you admire, they make something out of Life. And those who fail…get another opportunity. You always get another opportunity. That’s the wonderful richness of Life
