If you want to be successful in life, you have to become good at failing and recovering quickly after failure. Drivers who lose control of their car and start spinning tend to look towards the wall which they fear hitting when they spin out. This literally causes them to steer right into what they are trying to avoid due to their misguided focus. Their action is driven by fear instead of instinct and skill. Instinct and skill come from prior preparation, planning, practice and repetition. Become ok with failing, learn from your mistakes and you will be able to quickly recover from setbacks and move forward. Whereas, unsuccessful people tend to focus on the failure and what was instead of what could be if they moved on trying a new approach.” ~ Coach Corey Wayne

YMCA
Did you ever hear about its history and the impact in has in our current world? I was listening to the Wallbuilders podcast from yesterday and that was the current topic.
Here’s an excerpt:
“And so we started looking into the history of the YMCA and believe it or not, it was birthed out of a revival.
And so you have second grade awakening revival, Charles Finney. He was a 29-year-old attorney, Adams, New York. He is walking through the woods on his way to work, and he’s been wanting to seek the Lord.
And so he goes into the woods and prays, and he feels that the Lord touches hard. He goes back to his law office, says goodbye to his partner, closes the door, and he says he met Jesus face-to-face mentally. But he said that he was overcome.
He said he knelt down, prayed, felt waves of liquid love, and the next thing he knows, the door is open. He prayed all night, and it’s a deacon coming in his law office in the morning suing another deacon wanting to know how his case is coming along. And without hesitating, Charles Finney said, I’m sorry, I have a retainer from our Lord Jesus Christ, and I am pleading his case.
I can no longer plead yours. The guy goes out, stands in the middle.”

Sample Breakdown
Sample Breakdown: Nas – The Wold is Yours This is one of the most iconic beats in hiphop. (Crazy to think that it was 31 years ago when Illmatic was first released.) Pete Rock was a visionary when pieced the elements together for this beat.
Amazing.
