Arrested by Necessity
Do you have a favorite place to visit when you're overwhelmed by your thoughts? Do you get overwhelmed by your thoughts? I suppose not everyone experiences the paralyzation that occurs when too many decisions creep in. I get knots in my (ample) stomach that twist and turn into cramps. Within minutes, my pulse increases and I force myself to remain calm, but anxiety starts poking at my chest like a toddler attempting to wake his papa for a snack. The cause of my tension is lost by this time, and my focus turns to slowing my breathing, "staying present in the moment," and remembering where I am and why.

From Struggle to Success: Remarkable Stories of African American Brothers
Not too long ago in the United States African-American citizens had to ride at the back of the bus, drink at segregated water fountains, and weren't allowed to enter a "whites only restaurant." The Fifteenth Amendment added to the US Constitution gave African-Americans the right to vote. The following passage from the Library of Congress states: "Yet states still found ways to circumvent the Constitution and prevent blacks from voting. Poll taxes, literacy tests, fraud and intimidation all turned African Americans away from the polls. Until the Supreme Court struck it down in 1915, many states used the "grandfather clause " to keep descendants of slaves out of elections. The clause said you could not vote unless your grandfather had voted -- an impossibility for most people whose ancestors were slaves."

The Man Who Fell From 33,000 Feet and Lived:
How a Serbian flight attendant survived the highest fall without a parachute and the mysterious explosion that caused it The survival of Vesna Vulović, a twenty-two-year-old flight attendant who fell 33,330 feet from an exploding aircraft over Czechoslovakia in 1972 and lived, represents the most extreme survivable fall in recorded history, and the circumstances of both the explosion that destroyed JAT Yugoslav Airlines Flight 367 and her impossible survival have never been fully explained, making her story one of the most remarkable and mysterious in aviation history. On January 26, 1972, Vulović was working aboard DC-9 Flight 367 traveling from Stockholm to Belgrade with stops in Copenhagen and Zagreb, and she was actually a last-minute crew substitution, replacing another flight attendant named Vesna who had the same first name, and this twist of fate meant that she was on a plane she was never supposed to be on, working a route that was not her usual assignment, when at 4:01 PM the aircraft was at cruising altitude over the mountains of eastern Czechoslovakia and suddenly exploded, breaking apart in mid-air and sending debris and passengers falling six miles to the ground below.

127 Hours of Hell
Aron Ralston's unthinkable choice in a Utah canyon and the excruciating self-amputation that saved his life The human survival instinct is powerful enough to make us do things we would consider absolutely impossible under normal circumstances, and nowhere is this more dramatically illustrated than in the true story of Aron Ralston, a twenty-seven-year-old mechanical engineer and experienced outdoorsman who became trapped alone in a remote Utah canyon in April 2003 and made the unthinkable decision to amputate his own right arm using a cheap multi-tool knife in order to free himself from the eight-hundred-pound boulder that had him pinned against a canyon wall, and the fact that he survived this self-performed surgery and managed to rappel down a sixty-five-foot cliff and hike seven miles through the desert before finding help represents one of the most remarkable survival stories in modern history. Ralston's ordeal began on Saturday, April 26, 2003, when he drove alone to Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah for a day of solo canyoneering, a sport he was passionate about that involves hiking, climbing, and rappelling through slot canyons, and he deliberately chose not to tell anyone where he was going because he valued his independence and solitude and never imagined that this decision would nearly cost him his life and would become the detail that made his situation so desperately dangerous.

SIGNS OF of A HIGH VALUE MAN:
1. He Has a Job and Takes Responsibility A high-value man understands the importance of responsibility. Whether he is building a career, running a business, or working toward something meaningful, he believes in earning his way and standing on his own feet. He does not rely on others to carry his burdens or solve his problems. Instead, he takes ownership of his life and the direction it is going. Responsibility also shows in the way he handles commitments, whether personal or professional. People trust him because he follows through on what he promises.

Slap of maturity
Slap of maturity sounds familiar? It should be. It's not because it's what you know, it's familiar because you and I have faced it. Looking as ourselves while sitting in a corner of the room, on the office chair, in a coffee shop or at the death bed. We do understand that maturity hit us unknowingly and we just moved with the flow.
