Hope is as hollow as fear. What does it mean that success is a dangerous as failure? Whether you go up the ladder or down it, you position is shaky. When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance. What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear? Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. When we don't see the self as self, what do we have to fear? See the world as your self. Have faith in the way things are. Love the world as your self; then you can care for all things." - Lao Tzu - “Success is as dangerous as failure.
Hope is as hollow as fear.

What does it mean that success is a dangerous as failure?
Whether you go up the ladder or down it,
you position is shaky.
When you stand with your two feet on the ground,
you will always keep your balance.

What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear?
Hope and fear are both phantoms
that arise from thinking of the self.
When we don’t see the self as self,
what do we have to fear?

See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;
then you can care for all things.” – Lao Tzu -

When my marriage is struggling I don't go to someone who's divorced for advice I go to a couple whose marriage is thriving and ask them how they accomplish that. In the same way if you get a chance could you watch and critique the workout I developed called the "Max Heart Rate Special" over at my blog ( www.thatguykp.blogspot.com )? You are the expert and I'm just a student. Thanks, Keith Putnam Dave, You are so right.

If you study with the best, you have a much better chance of success. I study Yoga-Tai Chi under a master who has been teaching for over 20 years. I never miss a session unless I am out of town. He knows what he is talking about, is humble about his accomplishments, and guides you into proper alignment and technique. He teaches my grandson karate, and he is great with the "Little Dragons". Having him as an instructor motivates and encourages you. I'd love to find someone here in Memphis like you are in Nashville for kettlebells. As with everything else, it’s garbage in garbage out.

What didn't come directly from you came from other experts in our field. My foundation gets stronger every day. Every training session is a lesson. Thanks for keeping it simple!
