We have all heard the old adage, “You are what you eat.” Similarly, we are what we think. Marcus Aurelis said, “A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.” William James said, “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind . . .” Everyone of us is the sum total of our thoughts. We are where we are, because that is exactly where we want to be. Where we have chosen to be, whether we will admit it or not. You are in control of you. You and I choose our thoughts. In order to improve our lives we must take control of and be responsible for our thoughts.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. ~ Mark Twain

Each year I make a list of all the things I want to manifest and accomplish (sort of as milestones on my journey to my biggest dreams). Then I break out into a cold sweat and hyperventilate. Welcome to goal overwhelm!

Martial Motivations

It’s a touchy subject any time we talk about someone’s personal reasons for study the arts. The reasoning is usually packed with emotion.

Have you thought about your personal martial goal?

Which of these various martial arts goals motivates you:

* To defend yourself in a fight at a party

* To enter (win) competitions

* To get/stay in shape

* To better understand the mind-body connection

Is yours a self-defense goal?
Personally, I have no interest in martial-arts competitions (except to study them for the intellectual exercise). I study and practice martial arts for personal self defense. I want to be able to defend myself and my loved ones.
