A stone is a stone. It is what it is. It is nothing OTHER than what it is, and it knows that it is a rock.... until WE GIVE IT the power to be something else. Think of a diamond. It's a rock. It's the ultimate rock because we say it is.
In saying such.... WE give IT power. Otherwise, it is a rock.
The woman did not need the rock... because she KNEW. She could give it away because it was merely a rock. The GIFT OF THE ROCK is and will always BE INSIDE HER.
YOU have knowing. It is but a simple choice, which you have already proven to yourself.
The gratitude stone makes what is intangible, tangible. You can hold onto it, because you GIVE IT the power to be so. But never forget that YOU are the one who GAVE it in the first place.
You have a choice. And you KNOW you have it within you. When you get shakey, hang on to the rock. It makes it tangible.
Otherwise, you KNOW. You always have. You've had it in you, and it IS a gift. Thinking is for those who ponder. Belief is for those who hope. KNOWING is as tangible as a rock. It is.
YOU HAVE KNOWING. So play your game, even though it is a new, unknown team you are up against. I mean...... so? So fcking WHAT?! PLAY your game. Let IT worry about YOU.
Size of the opponent is a non-issue. What it looks like is a non-issue. What you KNOW, what you SEE in your mind... what YOU project and control, is all within YOU. Doesn't mean the score doesn't go up and down, doesn't mean you don't get time in the box.... YOU KEEP PLAYING.
Because you want to, because IF you go off that ice, it isn't because you didn't KNOW.
This is not a war you win with the body. Body follows mind. Mind follows spirit. Spirit is KNOWING.
And you already have it. You've had it for a long time. Being scared is just a part of the landscape. A gasp from the crowd. It doesn't calculate into the overall objective.
