Sounds like a movement

This past weekend the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) hosted their annual conference. In partnership with Saskatchewan in motion brought Farley Flex to Saskatchewan to speak as one of the key notes. He posed some very good questions. Do you ever stop and really ask yourself what makes you make choose to live the way you do? Or are you simply swept up in whirl wind of life set out before you? In a few more eloquent words he said that your life is not your own and you leave no legacy if you don’t know why you make the choices you do. Sometimes we can convince ourselves we are covering all the bases. We say, “heck ya, I’ve got this cased”. He’s very good at making you want to run out of the building and make something happen! I’ve found the same thing from other people in the past, but when you try to go and do something you find yourself going – - great, but how? Farley was awesome cuz he tells you! He makes things uncomplicated that otherwise seem so twisted. With all this beauty and simplicity he is also realistic.
