For
us Basketball fans, we have been enjoying some NBA games, but the
intensity is not there yet (I guess we will have to wait until the
play offs). I didn't think the Raptors would have a slow start given
the fact that they won so many games in pre-season. But again, that
was pre-season. Now the serious stuff is happening.
There
is also high expectations from the Lakers fans now that they have a
bunch of Superstars playing together. Their management doesn't play
games though. They just fired the coach after only five games into
the season. I was shocked when I heard that. I mean, it is an 82 game
season and the coach is fired after only five games!?!! They don't
mess around.
A
few weeks ago I was doing some homework that my coach Charlie gave
me, and I was surprised how coaching basketball was coming back all
the times as the one thing I miss the most doing. I have been
involved with the game for almost twenty seven years (now you have an
idea how old I am), but coaching has been the most fulfilling part of
all. I really miss it. No wonder it was coming back again and again
in my thoughts.
Just
the other day, some friends came over at our house to see our baby.
As we were chatting, one of them said that he was approached by a
school asking him to coach their Basketball team, but he had to turn
it down because he could not find the time to do it. I was like “are
you serious!!!”. I have been looking for that opportunity for weeks
now! So, he is going to ask if they still need a coach. Boy, if that
goes through I would be in heaven.
That
is how powerful a thought can be. When we think about something (good
or bad) over and over again, that thought can attract other similar
thoughts; and before you know it, that thought can manifest itself
into physical form (hey, I didn't come up with that stuff. I read it
somewhere...). Have you thought about someone that you haven't seen
for a while, and then, bam! You get a phone call from him or her?
Your thought attracted that person.
I
mean, what are the odds? For weeks I have been thinking about
coaching Basketball again, and this friend of mine just came up with
an opportunity! I don't know if I will get it or not, but the simple
fact that there is a possibility got me so excited man!
Can
I guess something? That project of yours that you have been thinking
about starting (yes, that one that you are about to give up...). My
guess is that you haven't been thinking about it long enough. Try
some more. Before you know it, that simple thought will attract
another one, and an other one. Then, you will meet people with
similar dreams. You will start sharing your ideas, and very soon,
that guy with bunch of cash in his bank account who does not know
what to do with it will hear about your idea. He will make you an
offer that you won't be able to refuse....Bam! Your project will
become a reality.
Maybe
I am dreaming a little (or maybe not). Just something to think about.
(Here I, talking about a thought again...)
Moral
of the story? Do you want to make your dreams come true? Just think
about them all the time and you will be coaching Basketball.
Always a pleasure
