no fight + the experiement

I am in such a good place. I feel totally free and alive.

My boxing match was canceled yesterday. I found out when I arrived on site. First I was told my original opponent quit his boxing club this week, so he was scratched. Then they asked a former opponent of mine to come down and he graciously declined. Then I was told they had a fighter coming down for me but he was heavier in weight. So I was told, "Go gain weight." Then that guy didn't show.

It took some time for the adjustment to sink it. At first I was in disbelief, and yet somewhat relieved. But then disappointment and fear settled in but did not stay long. Being ready physically to step in that ring is one thing, but being ready mentally is a whole other sport. I was ready mentally and falling from that mental place, that was hard. But man, do I feel great today! Hands down, everything happens for a reason, but it's up to me to embrace it.

Next on the agenda is an interesting experience that happened to me this morning. When I look at this particular experience and examine the way I am about to, it is somewhat of an interesting experiment with very raw results.

What happened was this. After a few great meetings with a few close friends, I was feeling amazing this morning. Life just felt in place and all together. While I was feeling so blissful I wanted to share that experience with the world. So I blasted out a text message to pretty much everyone one in my phone book. Bosses, old bosses, old friends, new ones, acquaintances, old relationships, girls, guys, etc. It was the same text message to everyone and it read as this...

Woww! You're so aweome!

Where it gets fascninating is the responses I received and continue to receieve! As soon as I sent out the text message to everyone, the reponses came piling in. And it is the responses for which I find this whole ordeal so important. And I am giong to share the reponses, not who said them of course, but still going to list them none the less. These responses are so amazing; so human.

The orginal text:
