By chance he meets his "Yoda"/Shaolin priest/Boss Paul who helps him "git his haid straight" after which he goes on to be comfortable with his athletic prowess albeit not exactly Olympic caliber. There is a lot of jumping around scene wise during which we don't know what is dream (part of getting his head straight) or reality showing his maturing personality.
He suffers a debilitating physical injury which forces him to work very hard to get back where he was ability wise earlier, but much wiser for successfully negotiating his transformation to wise old Grasshopper.

I like that first quote: “There are no ordinary moments.”
Dan Millman’s story is inspirational and reminds me that every moment has the potential to be extraordinary. All that I need to realize that is my own self awareness.
One of the best techniques I've found to develop self awareness was coined in the word "Afformations," by Noah St. John in his book “The Secret Code of Success.”
Using Afformations helps me become more self aware in my behavior with therefore better control of the results in my life.
And because of the excellent results I've had after only a few weeks, I'll be recommending Noah's book to my own blog subscribers so they can achieve better results in sustaining and growing loving, nurturing marriages.
