Will emailed this post to me in order to alert my attention to it... Thanks Will!
Will... by the sound of your first few paragraphs, you've been listening to/reading either Jim Labadie or Randy Gage!
I enjoyed Will's post. I don't however, agree with the general statements at the bottom. Mostly, because I don't feel powerless at all against the media, the 'man' or anyone else.
Revolutions are started when internal outcries' become too loud to bare. That is exactly why the IYCA was created with respect to youths and sport/fitness/activity.
What started as a certification company intended on 'showing the light' to a handful of trainers who would listen, has evolved (very quickly I might add) into an international unit of likeminded people working towards a common cause.
The passion and unity demonstrated by the people who have come into the IYCA family is something I would never have dreamed upon start up 4 years ago. Out of nowhere, we have Canadian, New Zealand, African and European IYCA Operation Managers leading various charges in their parts of the world.
Call me crazy/nuts/a dreamer... you pick the appropriate adjective. But the people who DON'T want to hear this message WILL in fact hear this message is due time.
Revolutions are created in such a way. George Washington was 'crazy' according to many (as were the rest of the Founding Fathers). They were an insignificant 'pain in the ass' to the monarchy of Great Britain... until they decided with 100% conviction that their voices WOULD be heard.
I do not have the answers of how... those will present themselves in time. All I know for certain is the fact... a revolution is warranted, needed and will be heard.
Sometimes (and this is a lesson I had to experience many times before I understood it). Searching for the 'how's' of a solution is not nearly as critical as being convicted in your determination to get it done. Amazing things happen when you open yourself up to the energy that flows through our universe.
It's when the seeds of searching for the answer swim through your head that you are farthest away from the solution. Just KNOW you will make a change and live your life passionate about the cause... the solution(s) will present themselves.
Sappy post, I know... but 100% how I feel.
Will... great intellectual insight as always. I've come to expect that from you every time.
Sincerely,
Brian
