tai chi thoughts

Happy Holidays....These are some of my favorite quotes to help make life easier to deal with...When a problem comes up and it seems over whelming-" Just take the first step-comeback to center and let the next one reveal its self" Can you change the problem? can you make it better? can you remove it? if not then "ACCEPT IT" and please remember the serenity prayer-" God grant me the SERINITY to change what I can-ACCEPT what I cant-and the WISDOM to know the difference......Enjoy the journey of the seasons.

In the moment thoughts.

We all know the importance of learning how to be in the moment!We also know that we need to review the past in order to learn about our habits!We also realize that we need to plan for the future to some degree! The question is how do we balance? My friend Wil Hessert from International Ener-qi Association has summed it up as follows.....We must UNDERSTAND how the past affects us....We should keep the PRESENT full of rich and satisfying experiences....And we should devote some energy to building for the future! Try it as you enjoy the process and breathe and smile. Sifu Mike Gentile

What makes a man/women

Confucius said-There are three marks of a superior man.Being (Virtuous) so he is free of anxiety.Being (Wise) so he is free from perplexity.Being (Brave) so he is free from fear.If we do that and live in the moment then life becomes a wonderful place to be. Enjoy the day! Taichi Mike
