Still people ask me, “So, Coach Ilg…what is YOUR New Year’s Resolution?”
i pause…and engage Wholistic Fitness® Lifestyle Principle 1: Conscious Breath and Posture…
then, re-collected in body, mind, and spirit…
i answer them thusly:
“To who’s ‘New Year’ are you referring?”
Then, predictably c(om)es a silence to which most American people grow quite awkward about…so i continue usually because i lack, in my older years, the patience required to re-school my Teachings of the whole Gregorian Calendar thing which has nothing whatsoever to do with anything spiritually important…
i continue: “A ‘resolution’ is an impart upon the Tao which, in spiritual training, is a no-no…
however, if you choose me to play your game? i shall answer thusly:
my New Years’ Resolution is to re-incarnate into a MUCH HIGHER Teacher so that it doesn’t take soooooo long for the Outer World to
catch up with the Truth of Wholeness which sings, dances, animates, and orchestrates my Being, my Lifestory: Wholistic Fitness®!!!”
You, my Students…have again Taught me my Highest Lessons this year…
and continue to inspire my own Practice Ever Higher, Ever M0re Whole…
May ALL your Sweat and Spirit in this New Year be SACRED!!!

Dear Steve, You once again have shown why you are our guiding light. You have always been the teacher of truth. I will always be here with you. I am sending you a proverb sent to me years ago. “For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day” HAPPY 2015. Kendo
