One of the easiest ways to regain your balance is to start breathing again. Open your throat, relax your body and allow inspiration to take place. Inspiration a great word, isn't it? Your breath is your life energy that connects to inner wisdom, resources and strength. A good way to practice centering is to notice how often you hold your breath.

Genuine happiness isn t about driving the hottest Formula 1 car, nor getting the employee of the year award, earning the highest 13th month pay, or beating the sales quota. Sometimes, the most sought after prizes in life doesn t always go to the fastest, the strongest, the bravest or not even the best.

As a result, their attention is not in the present. I used to work in Victoria in Central London and if you have ever been there during the rush hours it is a hectic place. At one point a leaflet was sent round the Birmingham supporters which had been produced by the supporters club members. It stated on this leaflet that despite the club reaching its lowest point, that they wanted as many fans as possible to travel to the last match of the season, which would be in London. Thanks to you, Alecia said with a tear in her eye. Ten years ago, you re the only one who believed in me, Mr. Becker. You always told me that whatever I strove for, I could get. Remember what I used to always tell you about Michael Jordan, Mr. Becker reminded her. He was not a great high school basketball player, but all it took was one person to tell him that he believed in him.
