Living the Dream (Day #4 January 12, 2013)

Life is Amazing in all ways, shapes and forms of magnitudes. You must make the best of what you have and what you get. I am not a man of religious beliefs, but I am a person who believes that everything happens for a reason. To some this means that I must believe in something because believing in things happening for a reason indicates that something is pushing or making that happen. Not necessarily though...but then again is it so hard to believe that there is someone out there watching over us??
 I forgot to write in my blog early this morning when I arose and then decided it would be better to write here when I am at work. I awoke at 8am this morning not feeling well at all. Last night LyLy and I went to dinner at the Outback stake house and then to the 10:10pm showing of 'Zero Dark Thirty.' It was a great movie!! A little slow for my liking, but definitely a good one. The same director did the other movie 'The Hurt Locker' and it is my all time favorite movie ever made, so I had high hopes, to say the least. I wasn't feeling well when the movie ended around 1am and knew I wanted to make it to training in the morning at 10am, but didn't even get to bed until 3am. Not getting enough sleep and rest when your body is sick is not the best way to get rid of the sickness. 

One of things I am going to try and do this new year, and with the remaining years of my life is gain or understand the idea of patience more. Yes we all have the knowledge of what patience is, but how well or often do we take the time to understand and practice this discipline? To what extent are we all patient and for how long can we apply our patience until we break? This is definitely something I want to develop more within my own life and work on in the future. Patience will not only help with daily activities and events, but it will help develop my training in martial arts, through physical and mental positioning, as well as with my life in its entirety. Patience IS key ladies and gentlemen. It is an answer most seek but never find.

The Broncos lost tonight in a game that was neck n' neck the entire game. The Baltimore Ravens definitely brought their A game. Yes there were some bad calls by the referees and nonsense plays, but the fact of the matter is that we lost. We lost because we didn't take a big enough lead to cushion our faults or mis-haps. It's like what they say for a fight "Never Leave It To The Judges TO Decide." Much like this game, if not all games of sport affiliation, you never want to leave the game to the calls of the referees in making decisions that look worse than they are near the end of the game making it look a lot worse. I am not the biggest Bronco fan but I definitely envisioned them in the Playoffs, let alone in the SuperBowl this year. Getting Payton Manning attributed to the team was a huge plus for the Broncos offense. He made great incredible and great plays this entire season and in this first playoff game. He also made some bad ones. He did what he could people and he's an amazing quarterback so now it's back to the drawing board and it's time to work on the Broncos defense a little more. Great game, great plays and one hell of a season the Broncos had.
