RE2PECT

Priceless.

I love athletes who have desire and love the game.

Athletes who set big goals, declare them and work tirelessly to accomplish them.

In April a rookie prospect named Jazz Chisolm, who had 0 major league games under his belt, went up to Derek Jeter and asked him, “Tell me how to get to the Hall of Fame.”

He made a promise to his grandmother who sacrificed for him that he would repay her by being the 1st Bahamian to make the Hall of Fame.

It wasn’t a fleeting wish for Jazz.

Chances are Jazz won’t get to the Hall.

There have been over 22,000 players who have played in the MLB and only 268 actual players who have been inducted, but I would watch Jazz play every day – he gets it.

Listen to the Tingle of Your Soul

I have learned when there is a feeling tingling at your soul, you must listen to it without question.

Trust it without confirmation.

And act on it without hesitation or delay.

Disregard all logic, ignore the probabilities, and mute your ears to the naysayers.

The tingling is inside of you for a very distinct reason.

A reason that is so unique to you, to your life, and to your future happiness.

A reason, so profound, it cannot be comprehended in the present time, but its vast magnificence will one day reveal itself to you in splendor, at the absolute perfect moment in time.

That feeling brewing in your soul is absolutely on time and is precisely on point.

You need to believe that.

There is nothing more significant to your future happiness than for you to be in harmony with the magical feeling in your soul.Listen to it, trust it, and act on it.

Your reason, when revealed, will fill the synapsis between the how’s and the why’s of your life.

They say the soul is like a parent to us, guiding us and giving us great advice along our life’s journey, and we are the child doing everything we can to ignore this advice.

Eventually, every child in the end finally understands their parent’s advice was dead on, they just couldn’t see or understand it at the time.

Their life just needed time to develop.

One day in the future, when you are able to view your life looking backward, that inner feeling — your soul’s advice to you — will unmask itself and the pieces of your life’s puzzle will come together.

Until then, while you are forced to view your life looking forward, that feeling may seem fragmented and insufficient.

Trust the gaps in rationale and in logic.

Make the leap of faith.

Your soul tingles for a reason.

That tingling is your soul’s GPS.It knows.

It is able to see around corners, over mountains, and through the fog.It will lead you to where you are meant to be at the exact moment you are meant to be there.

Listen to it.

Trust it.

Act on it.

And eventually, you will understand why the tingling was gnawing at your soul.

Trust In One Thing – The Power of Your Will

It is not the number of obstacles that will be in your path that will determine your success, nor is it the degree of difficulty of the problems that lay ahead, nor is it the level of abundance of your resources to deal with those problems, no, the most determining factor of whether you will achieve your goals is your own will.

Will is defined as an internal predetermination of achievement despite the circumstances.

Will is more important than talent, resources, and opportunity.

It is more valuable than work ethic.

It is rarer than gold.

When you internally predetermine that you are going to accomplish something, you put the master at work.

You call on your subconscious mind to determine how.

To map out a path.

And soon after the Universe will start to help you.

Things will start breaking your way.

Every problem will have a clear solution.

Obstacles, chaos, and noise may delay you,

but they won’t stop you.

Your will is too powerful.

This is a chapter from “Wrestling Rules for Life – Wrestling Is More Than a Sport It Is a Lifestyle”

Forever a student of the Universe.

John Passaro

Ever since becoming an involuntary member of the “Life-Changing Events Club” in 2009 when my daughter lost oxygen to her brain for 6 minutes,

I have viewed life with a new perspective.

That new perspective has been the greatest gift of my life.

I believe in life’s ordinary events there is extraordinary meaning.

I believe within our lives there are many life lessons which, when applied, can vastly prepare us for what is to come in our lives.

I believe everything we do and everything that happens to us in our life – happens for a reason.

I know the reason may take many years to come to the surface.

But it most certainly will.

And, I believe, if you are paying attention, you will realize the magnificence of how the universe works.

Here is my vision for my life and for this blog:

To improve the quality of other people’s lives by converting my life experience into the seeds of love, kindness, gratitude, and appreciation which I will plant in the soul of others.

I will be present and nurture this new spirit during chaos and crisis and share in and enhance the bloom of this spirit during accomplishment.

To live in a manner and way which will inspire those I serendipitously share paths with to live their version of the same in their lives.

That is the vision for my life and for this blog.

Thank you for your support.

The Universal Law Every Wrestler Needs to Master

Every wrestler has a mentality of always getting back to work, always doing more. Never stopping.

But is there a thing of working too much?

There most certainly is. It is the Universal Law of Diminishing Returns. It is a place you don’t want to be. A place where you do all the hard work but get diminishing returns. The totally opposite result of what you want or expected.

Ironically, at first, the wrestler’s mentality to get out of such a state is to work harder – working harder will only sink you deeper into the quicksand of the grind.

In order to counteract the Universal Law of Diminishing Returns one must do the exact opposite of what they were always taught to do – Nothing.

During this nothing state – you are actually doing something.

When you are forced to do nothing Grind Less – Sculpt More.

NightBirde

I love it when people mine the jewels that are stored inside them along their journey.

Q: Where did the name Nightbirde come from?

A: I had a dream 3x, it was of this bird singing in the dark of the night with no proof of the sun coming up. I wanted to be that way – I wanted to sing in celebration of the morning light even though there was no proof it was coming yet.

In Awe

Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them.

Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much and they still love deeply.

They still care.

Sometimes it is the people who have been hurt the most who refused to be hardened in this world because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt.

If that isn’t something to be in awe of.

I don’t know what is.
