Our Weekly Message for November 7, 2001
|
|
Hello
everyone,
What
glorious weather we are having for fall. I
cannot remember a recent year when fall
has been quite so good. Many of you will
be playing your rival school this week in
your closing season football game.
Basketball will be just around the corner
and plans for contest will soon follow.
If you need some new ideas for play-off
pep rallies or basketball, plan to attend
one of our One
Day Dance Workshops. If you
have not planned your team makeup for
contest, visit the new web site for Biogime
International and click on
Drill Team. They have the best products
for the best prices.
Here are a couple of thoughts on
forgiveness from Hugh Prather's book
"Spiritual Notes to Myself."
========================================================
"Sometimes I'm afraid to forgive
because I think I'll have to spend more
time with the person or make some other
gesture. But forgiveness is an act of the
heart, not a Kodak moment."
"Forgiveness isn't something nice I
do for someone who is 'guilty' forgiveness
is something nice I do for my own mind. Do
I want a mind that tortures me or one that
is a friend to me?"
========================================================
The 2002 Contest Handbooks were mailed
last week. If you are planning to attend
one of our 2002
contests and did not
receive one in the mail, please let us
know and we will forward one to you right
away.
Below are some quotes from three various
subject areas: Expectation, Commitment,
and Focus. May you have a wonderful week
and, as always, please keep in touch.

EXPECTATION
"Others will underestimate us, for although we judge ourselves by
what we feel capable of doing, others judge us only by what we have
already done." -- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own
expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts
upon." -- Denis Waitley
"If you conduct yourself as though you expect to be successful and
happy, you will seldom be disappointed." -- Brian Tracy
"It's not that people want too much, it's that they want too
little." -- Mark Victor Hansen
COMMITMENT
"A commitment is like your signature on a contract: it binds you to a
course of action." -- Nido Qubein
"Choose a field you enjoy and then become totally absorbed in
it." -- Brian Tracy
"A total commitment is paramount to reaching the ultimate in
performance." -- Tom Flores
"All great masters are chiefly distinguished by the power of adding a
second, a third, and perhaps a fourth step in a continuous line. Many a
man had taken the first step. With every additional step you enhance
immensely the value of your first." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
FOCUS
"The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single
object, can accomplish something; whereas the strongest, by dispersing his
over many, may fail to accomplish anything." -- Thomas Carlyle
"Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of
attention." -- Jim Rohn
"Devote uninterrupted chunks of time to the most important people in
your life." -- Brian Tracy
"Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but
to do what lies clearly at hand." -- Thomas Carlyle
