The Rugby Story
By Terry Winchester

You can do anything

We are unlimited beings. There is nothing we cannot do. So why don't we do it? There is a little voice within which says, "You cannot do that! Your grandfather couldn't do that and neither could your father. Just how do you think you can possibly do that? Now stop daydreaming and come back to reality. Play the game. Get a normal job like everyone else. Life is a struggle so be responsible and accept your lot."

This is what we are hearing and accepting from our society. An excellent and very inspiring book to read, which proves this particular point is, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, by Richard Bach. The book deals with a seagull who breaks free of the patterns which have been set up by his parents and their grandparents before them.

Jonathan always thought there was more to life than fighting for fish heads behind the fishing boats but his parents always told him not to be silly as seagulls always chased after fishing boats for fish heads. It was just what they did. Although he tried it, he realised that it was not the type of life for him. In learning to fly he becomes enlightened. Although the book is about seagulls, it is the story of man's journey, the story of the Christ. It is the story of the Way and the Truth.
Although it will only take you an hour to read, it will change your life forever.

I had a similar feeling to Jonathan when I came out of the army in Rhodesia. My father and society were telling me to go out into the world and fight for survival, like everyone else, and then drop dead forty years later. I could not buy that. That is why I went to London and then New York. To learn to be free and fly. We must break free of the old patterns. Dare to be different. Dare to dream. Visualise your goals and re-pattern the universe. Prove it to yourself. The limitations, which you are adhering to, are merely illusions. You have no need for them so throw them out the window. There is far more to life than what society is offering.

There is absolutely nothing to fear although we are afraid of taking a step into the unknown. We are scared to leave our miserable jobs because of the fear. The 'what if' syndrome. What if I can't get another job? What if I end up destitute in the street?
Challenge the pathetic limitations of society - step out of your comfort zone - learn to fly. You can go and blaze your own trail. Dare to be different, do whatever it is you want to do and make the whole world sit up and applaud. The world will always applaud creativity because it reminds us of how unlimited we are. The whole world is waiting for you to be yourself. It is, however, up to you to get out there and do it.
Emerson said, "Do the thing and you will have the power."

I can assure you that the very last thing I would ever have thought I would do is give lectures. At school, I was so shy that I could not even talk to myself. I used to sit in a corner of the playground by myself, too shy to make friends. After all who would want to be my friend? I was nobody. Even my father knew that, he wouldn't even take me fishing. He would always come home drunk - I was a complete disappointment to him.

One day as I sat under the goal posts during break at school, on my own as usual, there was Butch the school hero. Butch was 'the main' man, the school toughie. Everybody worshipped him and wanted to go to his house after school and be his friend. He was really something. I used to sit there and admire him from a distance.

One day, for some unknown reason, I visualised myself as his friend. God alone knows why I dared to do that. Before I knew what had happened the universe arranged a meeting. We become best friends and it turned my life around. Suddenly I was the second most popular guy at school. From one extreme to another. At that stage I did not know what was happening but it sure was mind-blowing.

The next miracle was about to happen. I played in the under 16-F rugby team (under 16-never played, we were called). It was compulsory to play rugby at school whether you were any good at it or not. There were a few of us who were so useless that we were not allowed on any field. We were given a rugby ball and told to go and kick it around in the bush.

Butch was a member of the first team. So I thought, "Now that I am his best friend, why shouldn't I play in the first team?"
No sooner had I visualized it - had the laws of manifestation started to work. Sure enough, I had began making some daring tackles and scoring some brilliant make-believe tries, amongst the thorn bushes and anthills. But it was the universal intelligence that arranged things in such a way that the First team coach happened by that day. He must have noticed me because the next day I was called up for second team practice. At first I figured that they needed a mascot or someone to carry on the oranges at half time. I mean, I didn't even know the rules of rugby.

Well quite frankly, I would have settled for playing second team because after all I was now with Butch during practice sessions. It seems, however, that if you visualize something the universe will not rest until you have exactly what you pictured. I originally pictured myself in the first team so come Saturday, for some unknown reason, the first team hooker left the school and I was promoted from second team to first. I thought I was dreaming when I was issued with my first team rugby jersey.

Now I really had to play because all the girls were watching and first team rugby players are supposed to be heroes. The trouble was I was so unfit. I began to wonder if this visualizing thing was such a good idea after all. I have since heard it said that you had better be careful what you visualize because you will always get it whether you can handle it or not.
Again I had to call upon the wondrous universe to pull me through. Now that I had manifested this goal, I couldn't let the whole school down. Well it worked again. Every so often, once I had caught my breath, I simply would visualize myself ball in hand, diving over the line and scoring a try. Don't ask me how the ball ended up in my hands, but each time I visualized it, it did. A try would be scored, the crowd would roar, and no one was more amazed than me.

So, if I could get into the first rugby team, I can assure you that you are capable of anything you put your mind to!
