Image by *Seraphina* via Flickr Sun will rise and set/ But it will always be now/ Be still, absorb it/ What will you do with your Now. Will you waste it worrying about tomorrow, fretting about what you did in the past or will you use it to become a better you. It amazes me as I look around this world and see all of the things that are designed to keep us focused on everything but our Now. We are made to feel as if we are inadequate in the present and are constantly pushed toward focusing on a future that is not promised. Rather than taking the time we are given to truly get to know ourselves. You are the most beautiful and powerful person there is, and yet you may spend your time focusing on everything but getting to know this as fact. I am here to remind you of this fact today. The task that I give you is to remind others. Remind them to use their time today to help themselves by learning about their greatness, and using that greatness to help others. Remind them to use thei

Image via Wikipedia Sometimes burn bridges/ Place your back against the wall/ And blaze your new trail/ Ha2ku by ha2tim I have found that many people that I coach are waiting for greatness to come and knock on their door. I hate being the person to tell them that never happens. In order to live our dreams we have to be willing to put ourselves in uncomfortable situations that bring the best out of us. We have to be willing to do the unconventional, and blaze a trail that the rest of the world can look at in amazement. We have to be willing to step away from the herd and maybe put our lives at risk. We have to be brave enough to burn or bridges so that we can't retreat to safety. Even put our backs against the wall and look fear directly in the eye. To be extraordinary we have to do what Tony Robbins describes as massive action. Many of us may want to walk the approved path and hope to attain greatness, but we will only end up with the same thing that everyone else is getti

Image via Wikipedia Green leaves full of life/ Turn brown and fall to the ground/ Recognize cycles/ Recognize the cycles of life. Nature has given us a model for success. We must learn to recognize the cycles of our lives, and either embrace them or change them. Nature provides the perfect model im many forms, but the one that caught my attention today was the cycles of the seasons. As I drove through the city i took notice of all of the leaves that had fallen to the Earth . This experience sparked this Ha2ku and the thoughts that follows. It was once said that everything has its season, and I wonder how many of those reading this knows what season they are in right now. Do even recognize that you have seasons. Early humanity survived by knowing the cycles of nature and eventually began to prosper. By paying  attention they knew what needed to be done. They knew the best times to hunt, fish, and grow crops. They perfected the ability of being silent and watching nature's cycl

Image by Cody Simms via Flickr If it comes to fast/ It don't last, if it comes slow/ Then its good to go/ One step @ a time/ Is how a journey is done/ Don't rush enjoy steps/ I combined two of my Ha2kus so that I can stress the importance of taking your time, and moving slow through life. We have been conditioned in this world to expect things to happen instantly, but I have discovered that many of the good things in life come to us slow. It amazes me to see all the get rich quick schemes , and miracle cure for anything that you can think about on the internet. when the very best and lasting things that are in our lives have come to us over time. Think about some of your most vaulable things in your life whether they are material, emotional, spiritual, and etc.. When you take time to really think about it many of this possessions, if not all of them were a result of work and time. When you are pursuing your wealth , your dreams, those fufilling relationships, that

Image via Wikipedia Our life has phases/ Change comes and we learn lessons/ Growing with each turn/ Cycles are part of life, and cycles are broken into phases. When we recognize these phases we are prepared in advance for the challenges that come with them. By studying the phases we learn more about ourselves as well. Life is full of cycles, some large and some small. Our lives move through cycles, for example our growth, the way we learn, the way we age, and etc. These cycles are broken up into phases that make the cycle more understandable for us. Let's take a look at one of the cycles that all of us deal with, but may not realize that it is a large cycle. Hopefully we will be able to see the symbolism and apply the wisdom in life. Let's look at the Seasons: Spring: This is the beginning of our journey. We are full of energy, and young (age,and/or experience). We have definite promise, but we lack patience, and training so we are a danger to ourselves and the worl

Image by appelogen.be via Flickr One step @ a time/ Is how a journey is done/ Don't rush enjoy steps/ All of life journeys begin and move one step at a time. When we try to rush we may miss what it is we are supposed to get from the journey. Learn to take one step at a time, and get each lesson from each step.I know that sometime this can be very painful, but continue pushing forward. Unfortunately most of life's journey appears to be rapped in pain. It is through this pain and confusion that we grow. We can look at it as fertilizer. The shit that makes life grow. So grab your nose and enjoy your journey through this life. Brother Ha2tim SelfMasteryCoach Nation Builder Urban Shaman

Image by Plamen Stoev via Flickr Going to the depths/ looking for the mystery/ revealed in challenge/ In the midst of life we can feel as if we are sinking, and that is why I chose to talk about going to the depths. The depths can be a scary place, because it is full of mystery. Mystery as I have mentioned before in some of my earlier blogs is a place that we can recieve a lot of power, because we are forced to face our fears . The power of facing our fears forces us to push past our self imposed limits. When faced with fear in our depths whether it is the depths of depression, pain, lost, and etc allows us to recreate ourselves through the harshness that is thrust upon us if we take the challenge and stand up and push into them. To survive we must in a sense surrender to the mystery and allow ourselves to experience the rush of feelings that come at these times. These feelings, as uncomfortable as they are, forces us to make the changes and moves that we need to make a better

Image via Wikipedia How did we get here/ Where are we going to now/ Answers leaders need/ Ha2ku by ha2tim It is the responsibility of leadership to provide his tribe with a vision. This vision provides the motivational force that not only moves the group but moves the indivduals in the group to better themselves. The leader should be able to create a map that helps the the group see where they are, how they got there and most importantly where they are going. This requires the leader to pull on a important part of his/her humanity that has been casted away in modern times, and that is the role of story teller. In ancient times the story teller was the keeper of the history, morals and goals of the the tribe. A good story has the power to pull people in and give them hope and "the Will" (inspiration) to work toward bringing the story to life. We have let this quality go in our organizations, thinking that stories are for children or people in entertainment. But i would

Image via Wikipedia What are your limits/ Are they real or illusion / Push past what is not/ What are the limits you believe you face in your life? Coming from a Warriors perspective more than likely they are illusions that you have developed in your life. Remember some times we have to step back and look at things differently. To help us with this it's sometimes good to have a coach (shameless plug) to help us with these break throughs. A coach can help you keep going in the part of these illusions, and help us pull up if the limit is real. I can remember in my younger days when i played sports or practiced martial arts . My teacher (coach) would always be able to push me to what I thought was my (physical and mental) limits, and help me work through them. These were powerful moments that I had in my life and never forgot, they still inspire me today.  People can see the  usefullnes of coaches when it come to working out, and for competitions sports. But we can't see

Image via Wikipedia Government wants to/ Read your email and become/ Your friend on face book/ The Government wants to be your friend and read your email. Slowly our freedoms are evaporating to nothing. In the name of safety we surrender our natural rights. The key method used to get us to obey is fear. We are told that terrorist are using the internet now and we need to allow the FBI, and CIA to look at what we type just so that they can make sure we are not helping the enemy. I feel we will be helping the enemy if we allow the government to violate our freedoms. This enemy is worst than any terrorist, This enemy was written about by George Orwell and called "BIG BROTHER". We do not need our government employees wasting their time keeping track of what I or you are typing on Facebook, or twitter. We don't need them spying on us, and wasting our tax dollars. It is not any of their business how much money I am sending or receiving on an international level as long a

Image via Wikipedia Alchemist believed/ Humans can be perfected/ Using principles/ Like ancient alchemist I believe that humans beings can be perfected as well. i just understand that perfection is a path, that we walk rather than a destination. As a matter of fact I believe that we all are perfect we just don't recognize it. For me perfect does not mean with out flow. Perfection is full of flaws and as crazy as this sounds this fact is what make it perfect. i have a problem with the flawless vision that as been thrust upon us. If we all were flawless this world would be boring, as a matter of fact it is the flaws in life that force us to grow. Think about this if we all were perfect in the traditional view, then we all would be the same think the same and act the same, BORING. Life is perfect and the flaws is what moves this dynamic universe to constantly change. Now to begin or continue your walk on the path of perfection, you must embrace principles. Now the challenge in

Image by evanston public library via Flickr What is your life worth?/ Stop selling your Self cheaply/ Dive into your dreams/ Ha2ku by ha2tim What is your life worth? My friend let me suggest that it is worth more than you are being paid right now. I know because for years I have been on the "grind" working crazy hours for machines that don't care about the good work that I am doing, but more concerned with my productivity. This is not our fate unless we choose it to be. My experience has taught me that we get from this world what we expect. If we are expecting to be treated bad,and with injustice this is exactly what we will get. When we carry ourselves in away that states that we are needy, and are worthless then the world responds in kind. This is why i asked the question "what is your life worth?", because the answer to that question will help you see why you are where you are in your life. When we walk around feeling that we have no value the world
