'Cooler than Superman'...Dylan Hockley

A life may last just for a moment,
 but memory can make that moment last forever.
Twenty first graders were gunned down on Dec. 14
 at
Sandy Hook Elementary School.
   Along with the students, the lives of six school staffers,
 including a teacher and a  principal, were lost  in Newtown, Connecticut.

.
 'Cooler than Superman'...Dylan Hockley age 6 loved kickboxing..........

It's said.....
Your spirit does not die, it goes to the spirit world.
 You will continue to learn and progress and may be with loved ones who have passed.

Im actually smiling through tears....
 Dylan gets to train with my friend Joe Lewis.
.
There is a Mexican saying that we die three deaths:
 the first when our bodies die,
 the second when our bodies are lowered into the earth out of sight,
 and the third when our loved ones forget us.

Team Fearless will not forget

Jesus said,
 “Let the little children come to me,
 and do not hinder them,
 For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

The Sacred Shroud


Shroud of Turin

The origins of the image on the shroud are the subject of intense debate.
  Scientific publications and theologians have presented diverse arguments for 
 authenticity and methods of forgery.

One writer says,
 The Shroud is an image of God's love as well as of human sin.
The imprint left by the tortured body of the Crucified One,
  attests to the tremendous human capacity for causing pain and death to one's fellow man,
 it stands as an icon of the suffering of the innocent in every age.

You are very powerful,
 provided you know how powerful you are.
-Yogi Bhajan-


 We try to avoid the unknown by not facing our uncertain future.
Whether it's death, failure, ridicule, pain or injury
 We avoid change because we feel  that nothing is guaranteed.
 How can we develop inner strength to grow, heal, and evolve without changing..?

Our lives are a reflection of how we handle adversity and how we inspire others to do the same.
In sales and life, your most powerful learning tool is your power of observation.
 Valuable skills can be picked up just from observing various business/personal situations.


 Once upon a time, mighty dinosaurs ruled the earth.
 They no longer even exist..... Why?
 Because they didn’t adapt to change. Don’t risk extinction!

-Dan Kennedy-

 You may think that in life, a lot of things happen to you along the way.
 The truth is, in life, you happen to a lot of things along the way.
Choosing to live your life by your own choice is the greatest freedom you will ever have.
The attributes you project and inspire in  those whose lives you touch will be your legacy.

Freeing your spirit can be as simple as loosing a little weight.....
not physical weight but emotional weight.
When we are carrying a little extra weight but we are still functional,
 we become complacent, content.
 We adapt to the 'added pounds'.
When we accept the extra pounds as part of life it sabotages our focus.



In our tradition, we die three deaths.

The first death is a physical one.
Our second death is when our bodies are lowered into the ground,
 returned to mother earth, out of sight.
The third and most definitive death is when there is no one left alive that remembers us. 


The positive attributes you project and inspire
 into the lives you touch will be your legacy.

"Legends are Forever."

Joe has gone in search of the yellow moon,
 
in search for his relatives, their daughters and their sons,

gone to the land where buffalos graze in clover fields
 without the sound of guns,
 
where the red sun sinks in the mountains filled with gold,
 
peace for this warrior is where the healing waters flow,
 
the time has come to unstring your bow.
 
Rest in Peace
 
-Jim Maloney-
 
 Since August 31st, my daughter Alli has sent me a daily text reminding me that

 'Legends are Forever'

 and that my friend and mentor Joe Lewis would live on through me. This message was echoed at the 'Memorial' and the 'Memorial Workout' that preceded the full military funeral in North Carolina.

Joe Lewis was laid to rest in Knightdale, N.C. last Saturday, ending a journey that took him around the world and back to North Carolina, one punch, one kick, one knockout at a time.

"Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love."

-1 Corinthians 16:13-


A hundred years from now
 it will not matter what degree Black belt I was,
the number of World titles I had won,
or how much money my martial arts school had grossed…

 But that the world may be different because I was important in the life of a student…
 What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

- Joe Lewis -

Whenever we think of success in Martial Arts, sports, entertainment or sales we tend to think of the stars in the spotlight. However, behind every great athlete is a great coach.

 
What I find to be the hardest thing about doing martial arts is giving up on trying to be the greatest and to simply begin working on just being yourself. Being yourself is what makes one great. The main purpose of being a good Martial Artist is sharing w/others the things you have acquired yourself and to achieve a sense of accomplishment.

 - Joe Lewis -


Joe Lewis taught us that we are worthy of receiving or achieving anything we can imagine.
We are only handcuffed by our willingness to allow success.

Take the brakes off your thinking and your imagination,
believe that everything you can imagine is possible.

 'My Joe Lewis Experience' is like peeling an onion.
 Each day as I peel back another layer,
I will uncover another lesson and probably shed some tears.

I will not let you down Joe Lewis,
 I will
