AWESOME FEAT

Hello and welcome everyone...struggled with organizing all the
thoughts for this blog. And the title. Let me start this way...my
philosophy of life. Be yourself...be true to yourself in everything
you do. You must weather at least one storm in your life. You must
learn to survive. It's hard to beat a person who never gives up. If you give up, you quit. When you think about quitting, think about
why you started. The one constant in life is change. Everyone will
experience at least one life defining moment...a life changing
moment...take advantage of that moment, it's precious. Share your
talent/gift with others. I wonder why some people, physically or
mentally challenged can accomplish so much...can conquer the
impossible. Kyle Manard, congenital amputee, climbed Mt Kilimanjaro. A teenage man from China, put in a foster home at
age three. Abused for two years and ran away at age five. Homeless
since age five. He appeared on a talent show recently in China.
Blew everyone away with his singing. A teenage woman, homeless, works as a janitor to make ends meet. Last year she was
admitted to Harvard Law School. For years now I have conducted
classes for men and women with disabilities. Classes for fitness
and learning how to play various sports. Title for the classes...
The Hero Program. So rewarding! I have a waiting list of people
wanting to help me instruct. People will forget what you did, what
you said and what you were wearing...they will never forget how you made them feel.
Have a meaningful life...Jimmy O

GIVING THANKS

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! Every so often each one of us has to " checkmate ourselves." Ask the question: who am I and what am I all about? What do I stand for? Life is easy when everything is going our way. But the true test for each of us is when we are faced with obstacles. In reality, we should be grateful for life's adversities. Those moments defines who we are....those moments define our character. Fate is what life gives us...destiny is what we do with it. The road to happiness will always be under construction.

So on this day , lets all of us give more than we receive. The impact we make in life is in direct proporation to our own self image.

For as long as I can remember thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. Have a great day everyone and a great life. jimmy o
