Inspirational Poetry....
Economic crisis often evokes a host of fears.
What if I can’t get my practice started? What if my business fails? What if I can’t afford school? What if?...Oh my!...I can’t…
Yet challenging times can be a powerful catalyst for personal reflection and
re-focusing of dreams, goals, and aspirations. It is up to us to decide how we
will respond when times are tough and we “hit the wall.”
If you are feeling down, and in a “poor me” or simply an anxious
place, I would recommend that you visit Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture video. Sit back and learn what how he responded to his very personal pancreatic cancer wall. KTV
