Allow Oneself to Let Go...

I have to keep this post short, but in essence, most people like to have a "sense of control" as to say, "If I put my mind to it, I can control how things go in my life..." The unfortunate reality is that we only have control over ourselves and that's it...We control how we think - can't control people's thoughts...We control how we move - can't make people move in a certain way or somewhere...We control how we feel (really!) - can't make people change their feelings about anything...So all we have left is "control over ourselves..." What's the secret???...Allowing ourselves to let go of what we cannot control and take command of what we can control...this is a conscious act, to control ourselves...an example of this is making itself quite evident to me today and will make an impact on me for the rest of my life - I have to let go of a very "special lady" today...it's going to hurt, it's going to be painful, but it's necessary...however, I can only control myself (feelings, thoughts, actions) and no matter how much I wish or ask or request, I can only control me...so today, I choose to control myself and allow a "special lady" to follow her own path and travel down that path the way she is meant to travel down that path...I believe she knows what she is doing and I have faith that she will make it there safely and happily...and for myself, I believe that I will be just fine...WAIT...not "just fine"...I will be more than "just fine"...I will be GREAT!...

Thank you and I when I start to miss you, I only have to look to myself and find you in my heart!!!...Love you...

Wow - Ready or Not, here comes Jameson!!!

Hi, my name is James Cabigon and I want to "BE GREAT!"...my salsa dance friends call me Jameson (not as good as Courvoisier, but close enough!), my construction friends call me "everything related to Hawaii" (i.e. Pineapple, Coconut, Crazy Hawaiian, "Stop talking so Fast because no one understands you!", etc.) and my sisters call me "Jamie"...but if YOU were to ask ME, "Who is James Cabigon, and why do I care???", I would reply back:

"...James Cabigon works hard everyday to become greater than he is; to become more than he is; and has the faith to believe he WILL be more than he is...in essence, he wants to "BE GREAT!"...what does that mean???...it means to take everything your good at and share it with the world; and for the areas in life that have room for improvement, it means seeking out experts, mentors, masters to show you the different paths to GREATNESS and have the courage to go there..."

So...."what am I trying to be good at???"...how about we ask a better question..."What am I passionate about?"...Now we're talking!...Food, health, family, and life...keeping it simple for now...and that's what this is about...Sharing with you my continuing experiences towards GREATNESS with GREAT Food, GREAT Health, GREAT Family, for a GREAT Life!

Making it Happen!
