Coach Lori Park

A personal warrior ethos are your guiding set of principles that you use to navigate challenges and strive for excellence in life.

Identify what truly matters to you.  Reflect on your experiences.  Your experiences have actually molded you for who you're becoming.

Disconnect yourself from what others do.  They were never meant to be your moral compass.

President Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you --ask what you can do for your country."

Shouldn't we be saying the same thing about Our Community, and Our Family?

We are here to be All That We Can Be.  That's our target.  It doesn't matter what others are doing...they'll eventually catch on and catch up.

Be who YOU were meant to be...AN EXAMPLE!

How you look at things will either support you, or hold you back.

If you never went through any change, you would'nt have grown.  I agree sometimes change can be scary...sometimes it's not.  Could that be because of what you're thinking or how you believe the change will affect you, that made the difference?

I always recommend the 20% - 80% rule.  Look at the situation for 20% of the time, to see the problems you perceive might happen with this change.  Then suspend those thoughts, and with a fresh mind, spend the remaining 80% of the time looking at the possibilities, options, and opportunities that this change can bring to your life.

This is how we Grow in life.  This is how we Create in life; and we are infinite creators.  If we can dream it, we can create it!

Afterwards, you can look back and realize the benefits from that change, and how it enhanced your life.

Happy Easter

Happy Passover

Happy Orthodox Easter

2025 is a very unusual year where all three faiths celebrate on the exact same day, April 20th. 

What is the common thread between all of these messages?

It's about breaking the bondage we've been put under.  Understanding this message offers the foundational knowledge that you are a Free and Sovereign being.  Once you hold this knowledge to be true and self evident, you would not allow yourself to be placed in bondage again.

Knowledge Is Power!

The first day of the year always started after the Spring Equinox.  This is logical as we see the beginning of life in nature, with the plants and animals, as they emerge from hibernation.

The first day of the new year was April 1st, until the changed us from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar in 1582.  Does it even make sense that the first of the year is in the dead of Winter?

Why would they change our days so drastically?  Have we been fooled?  Too many things in our world do not make sense.  I'm not saying I have the answers, but I am saying the people we have trusted in the past, have proven themselves to be Not worthy of our trust.

I believe we each need to go through our own discernment on what is true and what is false.  Who to trust, and who to no longer believe.

Today is April 13th 2025.  We are entering into a timeline were Palm Sunday and Easter is celebrated on the exact date for both Christians and Orthodox Christians.  This happens once ever four years. ...

Have you ever gone through periods of uncertainty in your life?  When things appear to be confusing and murky?

What did you do?  How did you gain clarity?  Did you go within for a quiet conversation with the Creator?  Did you have a discussion with a trusted friend or mentor?  What did you do to navigate through the confusion to the other side of your situation?

The truth is, we've all been in this situation a multitude of times, we just need to recall what we did that brought us to our solution, then repeat the process every time our life hits a bumpy road.

Too many people get lost in the problem du jour, and focus their attention on what's going wrong.  Einstein said, you will never find the solution, with the same mind that sees there's a problem.  This means we need to be open to look at things differently. 

The world is currently going through one of those murky times.  We sure could benefit from people who are willing to look at things differently and recall those times of ...

You might be surprised, but many people want to be told some thing that's NOT true, if the truth isn't pleasant.

The problem with that is...you won't be able to navigate to where you WANT to be if you're given inaccurate information to begin with.

Those people will constantly feel lost, frustrated, and unhappy.

As hard as the truth may be, it will always be the shortest journey to your desired destination!

Running low on energy?

Are you taking care of others with no time left for you?

Then the solution is easy, take a healthy time out!  We all need to do this from time to time. It offers us some time to re-think and re-prioritize what we're trying to accomplish.

When you take care of your needs, then you have far more energy, drive, and clarity to help others.  Just like the airlines instructing you to put your oxygen mask on before assisting others, the same is true in every day life.  If you give and give and give, without replenishing yourself, then you end up depleted without the ability to help anyone...including yourself.

Taking a Time Out is not selfish - it's self-love.  The more self-love you have, the more you're able to authentically love others.

Let's face it, the world needs more authentic Love!

"Know Thyself" is a philosophical maxim inscribed above the entrance to the Temple of Apollo in ancient Delphi, Greece.  It's considered the most significant of the Delphic maxims and this wisdom has stood the test of time throughout history.

It seems like today, we just rush through life without much consideration to the deeper meaning of life, who we are, and how we fit into this world.

Too much importance is given to selfies of where we are, and what's on our dinner plate to send to our friends.  Too much attention is focused on how many likes our posts receive.  Too much time is wasted on what other people think, while the real value is totally over looked.  Not by others, but by YOU!

There is nobody else like you.  And you are in the process of becoming more.  Did you know that about yourself?  You're not the same person you were last year.  Where do you want to be next year?

Know Thyself.....you have more untapped potential than you realize!

Rumi is so right!

The only one we can really change is our self.  As we look inside our self and notice what's working and what's not working, we can change what needs to be changed.  Day by day, one internal change at a time, WILL change how we show up in the world.

When we show up new and improved, then we are dancing with the world differently.  The world is adjusting to this new person we're becoming. 

Little by little, by little, the world is adjusting and course correcting.  It all starts with how we show up, and the choices we make each day.

So, are you Clever...or are you Wise?
