Tennis and life…

By request, my mindspace lecture about life as it comes, and living it well. This is because many out there are disillusioned by the wickedness that goes about naturally, confidently, such that many do not care about love.

It’s sad.

There are just 3 things about tennis. There is confidence, equipment, and physics. If you don’t want to win points you will lose and give up, and all the lessons fees will go to waste. You will be a loser the whole of your life and people will pass you by. It happened to me.

If you don’t understand your equipment, you will never succeed. Your racket should be something you question all the time -is it helping me? Knowing upgrades will help you, you don’t bother, yet install all your Linux / Mac updates, knowing nothing of security or advanced features! If you don’t find out your equipment’s function you will never get anywhere fast. And a lot of life is equipment.

I never learned to solder but I can program.

Physics in tennis is amazing. Body and ball physics. Your body does not connect with the racket first. It connects body to ball. The racket is part of your body you accept no matter its balance, size, and weight. When you remove racket, you remove footwork, you remove stroke, everything simplifies to how to get the ball where you want it. You start caring about subtle touches, maximizing stringbed-ball contact, or conversely etc. In life, knowing your objective and recognizing its / your interface is most important.

Now I want to talk on the 25% of invisible ‘power’ we don’t see but sense and how 75% of our happiness is attributed to physical, emotional, mental achievements, possessions. We are stuff people. We csn break down without our possessions and creature comforts. We are social, we need good friends. We are people with hopes and dreams, we need trust and promises.

Soon, it becomes apparent that less than 1% of our happiness comes from reading our Bibles and praying. It should be that way unless you preach for a living. But that 1% is some of the most potent. It is life changing, just as yeast works its way thru bread, God works for those he loves, who love, Him. Then it’s back to possessions and relationships again.

Being a part time online blog preacher, I feel good and am healed whenever I teach. And I don’t know everything, or the faces and names of my readership but it’s important to write these things down for the record. 

…

I would also like to talk on obeying principles. Principles are most important, it is like the constitution, but in our hearts. Principles, like the Physics we talked about before, determine success of interactions. We are social creatures. The more you know body to body, heart to heart physics, the happier you will all be.

And as I write this, evil witches are pushing on western toddlers to give me pain in my wounded parts then disfigure themselves.
