Say What You Mean, Do What You Say

Your Word is Your Word: Be precise in what you say. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Be proactive: This is the ability to control one's environment, rather than have it control you, as is so often the case. Self determination, choice, and the power to decide response to stimulus, conditions and circumstances.

It’s not personal: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Stay focused: Develop personal leadership - leading oneself that is, towards what you consider your aims. By developing the habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful.

Except for one or two outstanding performances, pairs and individual figure skating has not been up to par form me. Too many mistakes, falls and incomplete routines makes it seem more like an exhibition than a competition. Still, it’s worthwhile watching
