See all 43 Commentsfall (and we all do) that matters. It's how we get up. And you my dear have arisen
through life's challenges with integrity, grace, courage and strength.
It's not even about falling down - that in itself is just perception. You - as we all do
- have felt the harshness of this world and you made choices. And all that those choices
reflected at that time was that you didn't see what we saw - you didn't see how
beautiful and special you are. As that perception shifted - so did your choices - to new
choices that honoured you as the gift that you are.
The courage you have demonstrated - not only in just living your life and in overcoming -
but now being totally honest and facing the fear based perceptions of others - is a power so
great Andre. Don't take on the ignorance of others. Their judgement is their intolerance
of themselves. It's not about you. Their projections show up who they are and where
they're at. Perhaps you've done what they have feared to do - to be radically honest
with self - and to take the darkness of this world and use it to become an even brighter
light - creating profound change not only in your life but in the lives of so many others.
You are phenomenal.
You asked for compassion - my God you not only do you have that - you have our respect, our
admiration, our awe and our total love.
What a brilliant light you are......keep shining.....our world needs you Andre.
My parents really pushed my brother and me into swimming; however, unlike Agassi, we didn't have any outstanding talent in the sport. I remember hating swimming, and to this day don't like it. That just teaches parents not to live through their children or to force them into activities they don't like. It's okay to encourage and expose them to different activities, obviously--just don't take it too far, like Agassi's father did.
j'ai vu l'interview d'andré agassi, émouvante, il avait les larmes aux yeux c'était triste, je salue son courage pour avoir avouer, cela dit ce qu'il a fait est detestable,
ce qu'il est entrain d'accomplir aujourd'hui pour tous ces enfants est admirable, et en son honneur,je lui souhaite du succés..il $est et sera toujours le grand athléte, qui a fait révé des millions par son talent..je suis une admiratrice de monsieur agassi..admiratrice du superbe parcours qu'il a fait..bonne continuation
