As I shared the other day, I have pretty much relinquished authority over determining my mission. My creation served its purpose. It lucidly defined what doesn’t work, where I needed to redirect my attention, who I needed to become and how I needed to live out my days.

Now, moving on with a more open mind, heart and soul, and some true fatherly guidance, I come across things on a day to day basis that affirm my chosen path. Bits. Pieces. Coincidence. Providence. Serendipity. Things said in passing. Words read. Every one connected to grace. Every one providing peace and serenity.

It’s pretty amazing what takes place when you no longer feel the need to be the sole authority of your story. When you get to that point where proving it is replaced by simply being it, then everything simply changes for the better. Presence overtakes rumination.

My sincere hope is that this and my other posts are taken simply as an expression of gratitude and genuine hope that others can find their way as well. I spent a great deal of time writing and speaking motivational pieces for student-athletes. Tomes, some say, on attitude, character, resolve, perseverance, faith and love.

Should they continue, they may retain a familiar Coach Hahn ring to them. But then again, I now hearken to a different voice altogeher. One spoken throughout every aspect of my life. They may now render a different tone.

A new found resonance.
