Strength Equals Control

Dooley Noted: 3/12/2015

Sometimes you think you plan everything out. 

And sometimes, things go awry anyway.

The Immaculate Dissection team had a rough morning yesterday. 

If there was a roadblock, we hit it. 

Taxis wouldn’t come. 

When they did, they dropped us in the wrong place. 

Printers couldn’t be accessed. 

The hits kept coming. 

I started breaking down as the roadblocks piled on. 

Then, an amazing thing happened. 

A seminar attendee, Jacqueline, handed me a Sydney phone book to tear before we started. 





I showed the attendees how to use core stability and technique to rip the 700 pages. 

I felt the stress of my morning go into that phone book. 

As the pages yielded to my hands, I remembered why I taught this course in the first place. 

If you have strength, you have control. 

And if you have control, you can handle everything. 

I re-learned a huge lesson yesterday. 

You can lose your cool and feel broken down. 

Or, you can channel strength into fuel and feel exhilarated. 

As always, it’s your call.
