It is an awesome event. If you haven't ever done a 24 I would suggest doing this one with a team. Compared to decorah, same amount of climbing yet not as technical. 24/9 is a fast fairly flat course.

O...“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”<BR/><BR/><BR/>Every time we choose safety, we reinforce fear(and all too often the status quo). Our biggest fear is not death, it is taking the risk to be alive -- the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity, the opportunity to grow. They seem to be more afraid of life than death. Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do the things which we think we cannot do. Life is lived in the unknown.<BR/><BR/>I have been thinking lately, why are we so afraid of being wrong? The whole concept of being wrong has such a negative connotation. Why do we not rejoice in the fact that in being wrong, we are in some way presented with truth. Removing this view of 'wrongness' nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. This is a powerful thing indeed. <BR/><BR/>It is so amazing to see you create your own path Wes. "When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."<BR/><BR/>It is so exciting to see you go out on a limb in life and encourage others to do the same! That's where the fruit is!Andrew Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04554469135168659674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879335857673967943.post-34043939968363027912009-02-12T19:14:00.000-06:002009-02-12T19:14:00.000-06:00I love opinions and wish more people would post co...I love opinions and wish more people would post comments, whether agreeing or disagreeing. <BR/><BR/>You're right, do have it in our power to change the world. In order to do this, you must change your life first. "Be the change you wish to see in the world," type of mantra. <BR/><BR/>It is not a matter of being afraid to change things, change is a good thing (sometimes). In my opinion, letting go of presumptions is beneficial because things that were true in the past are not true today. We like to think they are true and sometimes we can make some good predictions about what may happen, but many times we are wrong about these predictions. <BR/><BR/>I am in complete agreement with your comment in regards to expressing your feelings with others. I may not have delivered my message effectively in my blog but how many people go through each day without telling their parents they love them. How many marriages have ended because their partner doesn't express their feelings and tell them they love them each day?<BR/><BR/>Looking back with wrestling, I wish I would have never worried about anything but competing to the best of my ability. I cannot control how important the match is, who is watching and what people will think. Me thinking I will win has no factor if I simply complete my hardest because that is all I can do. Its like when people say they deserve to win more than the other guy because they worked harder. Bullshit. Maybe the other guy doesn't have to work hard at all and can still beat you, but you thinking you worked so hard that the other guy should lay down for you. How much more success would you have had if you had no preconceived notions before any match you had? You knew nothing about the guy, what team you were wrestling, how well you felt, ect. How much stress would that relieve? Look in my case, just because I beat a kid 3 times during the year I should be able to beat him again, right? <BR/><BR/>I find it very hard to get go of presumptions because I have based most all of my decisions on what "could" happen. Who cares? You will live to see another day. For instance, if I held on to the belief that all girls would reject me if I asked them out because I got turned down by the first girl I ever approached, it would have been very detrimental to my social life. But I (as well as many others) let go of this and "put it in the past" as we should with other past notions. What was true once is not true today, we only think it is.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460459503863534151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879335857673967943.post-33156399042503713332009-02-12T15:41:00.000-06:002009-02-12T15:41:00.000-06:00This is just my opinion, and my opinion has typogr...This is just my opinion, and my opinion has typographical errors. Leave me alone. As for the rest, feel free to pick it apart.<BR/> Don't be afraid to hold on to your presumptions. If they turn out to be wrong, you really have three choices. Ignore them--They you become a pacifist. Be crushed by them--and never be satisfied. Or change the things that ruined your presumptions. Make the world a better place; the place you want it to be. We all have it in our power to change the world. <BR/> We cannot be afraid to change things. If you tell your mother that you love her one day, continue to tell her that every day, and if you want her to tell you the same, don't be afraid to explain to her that you would like her to tell you she loves you (if she means it, which I'm sure she does).<BR/> With wrestling, presume that you will win, and you greatly increase your chances of winning. If your presumptions are wrong, you now have something to work towards. This should not give you stress, but provide you with an opportunity to better yourself. And the next time you step on the mat, with the same presumptions, they can be right.<BR/> Like you said at the end of your blog "Create the world you want to live in" You can't do that without presumptions.<BR/> Keep putting stuff like this on Wes, and I might have to start replying more often.
