"You see." he said, "I am not defendingrepparttar cloth, I am defending myself. Better to give yourepparttar 122930 cloth, and then I have both hands free to do as I need."

"When you move less you offer your opponents a clear target. When you offer them a clear target you will be able to understand how they are wanting to attack. They will attack you inrepparttar 122931 same manner you reached for my cloth. Confident they will accomplish their mission, because you have made it easy for them. Atrepparttar 122932 last moment, just as they begin to strike or grab, takerepparttar 122933 target away from them. They will be surprised, and you will haverepparttar 122934 opportunity to do whatever is necessary."

He got up and invitedrepparttar 122935 five students to attack him. He moved very little, and it was as if he was making each one of them thread themselves throughrepparttar 122936 eye of a needle. Just ever so much of a movement made by him, made them just miss their target.

"This is what happens often in our every day life." he said. "You feel like you are faced with a daunting task, and you make your task harder by moving about needlessly and losing your composure. Breathe deeply, be calm, and knowrepparttar 122937 right moment will present itself to you if you haverepparttar 122938 faith to wait. Don't forcerepparttar 122939 issue, and don't forcerepparttar 122940 timing. Trust inrepparttar 122941 moment, and trust in yourself. Takerepparttar 122942 initiative by doing nothing."

You ARE capable. Give yourselfrepparttar 122943 opportunity to excel by trusting inrepparttar 122944 moment and trusting in yourself. Wait calmly, and you will find thatrepparttar 122945 necessary answers appear before you. Little by little... with lots of practice... and endless patience. Only move whenrepparttar 122946 moment is right. Breathe deeply and begin atrepparttar 122947 beginning.

The rewards and risks of personal freedom

Written by Charlie Badenhop


Continued from page 1

From that day on, wheneverrepparttar weather was good I would let him out early and he would fly around and be back before dark. This routine lasted for about two months and then suddenly Chico became ill. The vet said that he had contracted a disease fromrepparttar 122929 pigeons inrepparttar 122930 neighborhood. Within a few days he died, and I mourned his loss.

Just oncerepparttar 122931 thought crossed my mind that if I had not set him free to fly every day, he would still be alive. It was then that I realized thatrepparttar 122932 quality of one's life is much more important thanrepparttar 122933 number of years one lives. What sense is there in being a bird if you can't fly?

Chico made his initial break for freedom on a late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours? You too can take a chance whenrepparttar 122934 conditions are right, knowing you too in your own way, were built to fly. If you don't set yourself free, what will berepparttar 122935 purpose of your life?

I would suggest thatrepparttar 122936 quality of one's life is dependant on feeling one's essence, and livingrepparttar 122937 design that is you. If you are a fish, your life needs to be all about swimming. If you are a bird, your life needs to be all about flying and spreading your message to all that you meet alongrepparttar 122938 way. What sense is there in being you, if you don't really let yourself free and express your heart?
