WORLD : NBA CAUGHT IN UGLY CROSSFIRE AMIDST HONG KONG - CHINA FIRESTORM !



WORLD : NBA CAUGHT IN UGLY CROSSFIRE AMIDST HONG KONG - CHINA FIRESTORM !


THE BOILING POLITICAL FIRESTORM IN HONG KONG HAS NOW SPREAD ACROSS THE OCEAN AND NOW HAS LANDED AT THE UNSUSPECTING FRONT DOORS OF THE NBA.

CHINESE FANS - - AND CHINESE GIANT BUSINESSES - - ARE ENRAGED OVER A TWEET FROM HOUSTON ROCKETS’ BOSS SUPPORTING HONG KONG’S PRO-DEMOCRACY PROTEST.

"FIGHT FOR FREEDOM. STAND WITH HONG KONG", TWEETED HOUSTON ROCKETS' DARYL MOREY, IN A SEEMINGLY HARMLESS EXPRESSION OF HIS SUPPORT FOR HONG KONG'S STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM.

AND SUDDENLY, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE, WITH THE FULL SCALE OF CHINESE POLITICAL MIGHT NOW COMING DOWN ON NBA.

BILLIONS WORTH OF CHINESE BUSINESS NOW CUT FROM THE NBA, THE CHINESE STATE TV HALTED NBA'S BROADCAST IN CHINA - - A MASSIVE BLOW TO THE NEW AND GROWING 800 MILLION CHINESE VIEWER MARKET OF THE US SPORTS FRANCHISE.

DARYL MOREY DELETED HIS TWEET, AND THE NBA WAS FORCED TO SWALLOW THEIR PRIDE AND APOLOGISED TO CHINA.

PROBLEM NOW IS, THE NBA NOW FACES BACKLASH RIGHT IN THEIR OWN HOME SOIL - - FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE US POLITICAL DIVIDE.

WHY APOLOGISE FOR FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY ?, THEY SAY.

FREEDOM OR BILLIONS OF CHINESE MONEY ?

WHAT A COSTLY TWEET, EH ?

I have a tendency to self sabotage when a lot of things are going well. ⁣ ⁣ On Monday, I kind of panicked. I get really overwhelmed by feelings because I am highly sensitive to my energy and that of others. ⁣ ⁣ Things are going so well for me, and I feel so open and expanded, that I didn’t know what else to do but freak out. ⁣ ⁣ I started questioning if I was worthy of this kind of joy. As I was creating new programs and working on Ceremony Wellness: LIVE with my team, these feelings of “Holy shit we are doing this. What if it doesn’t work?” got really heavy. ⁣ ⁣ I cried. And as I dropped into that overwhelm, I realized I wasn’t scared of all the bad things. ⁣ ⁣ I was having a moment of fear because I was in a place where everything I had been praying for was right in front of me. And I didn’t know how to respond. ⁣ ⁣ I am filled to the brim with happiness and doing the work my whole body knows I am meant to. My heart is so expanded and my capacity to give and receive is at an all time high. My health is the best it has EVER been. ⁣ ⁣ So now what? I have always been ready for a fight. I’m a damn warrior- this I know for sure. It has been my identity for so long. And now, I don’t have to fight. I get to be in this fully and soak it up and live from a place of love and wisdom, rather than fear and anxiety. ⁣ ⁣ The identity shift is real. I love that I can catch myself panicking and know exactly why. I cry. I talk it out. And then I’m ready to fully expand back into things again. ⁣ ⁣ This is my growth. And I make space for it daily.
