The Spiritual Lessons of Motorcycle Building
I know a couple of you have been following along with the progress of the Beemer rebuild. I have just about completed her brain surgery: (Rewiring the front panel) and got to put the front fairing on for the first time today. Just for laughs I threw on a side panel halfway to see what the color scheme would look like...
Not too bad....but I think what is really important are the practical spiritual lessons I a learning along the way. Lesson number 1: Keep your attention focus on what CAN be done at any given moment. I can't tell you how many times over the last few days I have been focused on one particular task or area of the bike, only to be thwarted by missing pieces, misfits, etc.. My habitual pattern under such circumstances is to become agitated and start frantically looking for things amid making mistakes and just generally making things worse. What I am learning is that a more effective way to deal with such problems is to just move to the things I Can do. Once I have done that , the missing bolt or the needed insight will appear at precisely the right time. Now if I could only apply the same principles to my life overall! 14 comments from 5 users

Well thanks for the compliment Dusty! I will definately give the lady a hug. This whole deal has been hard on everybody. Good news though yesterday...The infection is way on the run and I am released to go back to work on a limited basis on October 8 with a brace. So things are getting back to normal here...whatever that means.
Talk to you soon

Cameron..sounds like you could use the Serenity Prayer. LOL God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. It's that last line that's the kicker huh? :-) When you finish that bike, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing it's a part of you and not a machine shipped out to you in a crate. Also when you say "bottoms up" you won't be talking about a drink, you'll be talking about how you rebuilt your special bike. Congratulations on the progress both physically and metalically.

In NASCAR fantasy, can you pick the wall in different turns for defense? Spam code: POBBZ posted by
