Monday night seminar 8/1

Hello everyone, once again just wanted to reflect on the class that I listened to this morning. Once again professor, you had some great readings. I particularly like the wooden board reading.  This can be applied to all kinds of situations in life.  The bigger the challenge the more fear we can have and it takes, motivation, strenght, courage, determination to get across that plant of wood something that takes practice.  I think that if we start off with the wood on the floor we can practically run across it, then lift it up about 3ft we would still walk across it. Then bring it up even further say 10ft across a stream of water. We would probably still walk across it but with caution and consintration. Then perhaps it can stretch between 2 houses 30ft up in the air.  Knowing that we just walked across the previous board and made it with ease we might try this one with caution and probably much slower but, with practice can eventually make it across with ease and finally the 100ft high board going across two building. the fear is definately there and we might attempt it several times before finally making it across.  We faced our fears with determination and passion to keep going, to overcome that obsticle that was put in front of us.  Each time we crossed the previous board it gave us more confideince to see what the next obsticle was and each one is crossed we gain a sense of accomplishment of self worth and happiness.  This is much like life and the experiences we have.  I take everything that I do good, bad and challenges to the next level in my life.  I say to myself, "Hey I just accomplished this so I can certainly do this."  Thanks professor for the readings.
