LIN-SANITY!!! Or is it?
Count one more fan of Jeremy Lin!
And I get extra points, being a fan of the New York Knicks since the late 1970′s, back to the days of Bill Cartwright, Michael Ray Richardson and (gasp) Sly Williams. One of the happiest days of my sports fan life was when the Knicks won the lottery that gave them the rights to draft Patrick Ewing.
But the 2012 version of Larry is extra pumped for Lin-sanity.
And the reason is…I recognize this dude not as insane, but as completely committed, bold and even logical in going after what he wants.
It makes perfect sense. He had the gift of basketball brilliance. He knew it all along.
And he was perfectly grounded in faith. In his version of God and his place in God’s plan.
He didn’t believe. He KNEW.
And so he was willing to study and learn from those who knew more. He was willing to put in hour and hour after hour of practice, of repetition, of making the moves his own.
He was willing to be the #1 man, or the #15 man…whichever the situation calls for.
Because he understood that basketball is a team game.
And when he was released by Golden State and sent back to the developmental league, he maintained the confidence that the right time would come.
And the Knicks (MY Knicks) needed a point guard.
And the rest – as they say – is LIN-SANITY!
Of course he doesn’t think so because he knew this was coming all along. The “when” was irrelevant.
That’s why he could drop 38 points on Kobe Bryant on the biggest stage in the game.
And more importantly, that why he could have a mediocre game the next night in Minnesota, with a hostile crowd jeering him…
…and calmly hit the free throw that put away the Timberwolves for good.
Strangely enough (and I don’t mind taking credit where credit is due), this is everything I teach in HOW TO RECEIVE, both the book and the teleclass.
Hey, maybe I’ll get Jeremy Lin to come on as a guest trainer!
Don’t count it out, sports fans!

How To Juggle (and Change Your Life Forever)
"I’ve coached with Larry before and always came away with something good that I could use. Last winter I hit a bad patch of doldrums — just couldn’t get out of my own way. I definitely needed a jump start and figured that Larry was the man to do it. I told Larry I needed someone to kick my a** - in a good way - and he has done a great job. As always. Thanks to Larry, I’m back on track physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I’m getting stuff done.

"Larry’s influence has helped me embrace, acknowledge and appreciate whatever is going on in my life. I feel myself growing in confidence and stature as I rediscover the imaginative, reactive magnificent ME. I’m seeing life from a whole new perspective, loving this idea of playing BIG, right now it feels like an overarching radiance, beginning to notice far reaching ripple effects as I dance through life, creating a splash and inviting people to join in."

"Larry has a gift for telling it like it is, has a real, down to earth approach to motivating people to jump not just ahead in their lives, but onto a whole new higher plane than ever thought possible."

"In a world where so many people are stuck in a metaphysical morass, Larry has a uniquely tender ability to reach out from the heart and touch your soul."

"Working with Larry was very helpful and gave me a lot of strength. And I feel things for me are moving forward, I have a long way to go, but I’m confident in my path."

"Larry positively impacts my life in ways I am regularly surprised at, and am incredibly grateful for. He seems to have devoted his life to the enlightenment, freedom and liberation of ALL of us. A human being with such HUGE love and great intention is undeniable. He is simultaneously humble yet powerful. Wise yet playful and lighthearted. A great teacher, yet just one of us, learning as he goes. He inspires me to do and be all
those things, too. A person doesn’t have to have it ALL figured out to lead another up to their next level, they just need to have gone a little before them. We are all here to uplift and inspire each other, and Larry gets that. I would recommend him as a guide to anyone. If you feel drawn to him, GO with that."
