Beyond Perception

I always thought it was important to leave an indelible mark on the world, 

out live myself, leave my influence on eternity with the gifts I'd been given..

 Whether it was martial arts, sales,acting or stunts.

Within me the whole time was the answer to change the life of a student.

In December of 2017 I realized I was sacrificing my happiness in pursuit of a dream.

I've been listening to talks by T.D. Jakes, Jim Carey, Mike Murdock, Ziglar and Tony Robbins.

You'll find some of their inspirational 'one liners' buried in these blogs as I move forward in 2018 trying to replace my 'mighty pen/keyboard with a kinder gentler 'quill keyboard'.Through this achieving greater inner value not just my outer value. I hold the pen that writes the story of my life. Let's try to leave Fear and Resentment in 2017 and let the light of our best selves shine through.

Fear says please don't leave me behind because I have abandoned myself.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger.

Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things.

 Believe in yourself. Leave Ego behind. Do what you love......With Love ! !

If there is no enemy within 

the enemy outside can do us no harm

African proverb

In our fitness and martial arts classes,the team nurtures each new challenge participant to dig within to discover what they would like to have happen in their life. This helps you to move from pissed off, regretful, disrespected or insignificant to having a purposeful life.

Fear of the unknown is the oldest and most powerful emotion.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you face fear. 

In life you don't get what you want you get what you are.

 You deserve the best life has to offer.

It's better do be prepared for an opportunity that never happens than to have an opportunity and not be prepared. Practice makes improvement not perfect.

 Practice with us we'll get better together !!

You won't find this in the gym, but you will in the Dojo 

If you can look up  you can get up , walk by Faith through our door 

 Don't just Hope to achieve your dreams at the gym or on your diet.

Remember your going to die some day anyway what do you have to loose.

Geppetos' wish

 Geppato who carved a wooden puppet named Pinnochio. The puppet is brought to life and is informed that he can become a real boy if he proves himself to be "brave, truthful, and unselfish". Pinocchio's efforts to become a real boy involve encounters with a host of unsavory characters and situations.

The martial arts are ultimately self-knowledge.

 A punch or a kick is not to knock the hell out of the guy in front, 

but to knock the hell out of your ego, your fear, or your hang-ups.”

- Bruce Lee

I remember many challenges, breakthroughs, and setbacks during my years of training and still do. What I do not remember are distractions or gimmicks like you often see at your local health club. At the martial arts studios and boxing gyms where I trained there was just hard work and sweat equity. As a martial artist, your child or your inner child, will learn what it is to be still, challenged, and focused.

Unfortunately stillness and silence seem to be rare to find. At some juncture in life, every one of us comes to learn that the greatest obstacle we face in this lifetime is ourselves. That battle is fought in the stillness of our hearts and the willingness to confront ourselves

In the martial arts, you will learn what it is to take a hit, whether that hit is a literal blow or a disappointment like failing a test or losing in the ring.

A martial artist is taught to see, feel, and listen - both internally and externally. 

Tapping into intuition, fear, and courage are examples of being able to put the physical with the mental How often have we heard the phrase “being paralyzed with fear”? Being able to combat such a thing is what you learn in the martial arts.

Geppeto Sensei we need to remember that ,

'Pinnochio might not be ready to be a real boy'. 

Our personal aspirations and feelings dont take presidence. Take the time to nurture the hopes, dreams and aspirations of a student they may never be a fighter or a teacher and even if they are wearing their,

 'wishbone where there backbone should be' .

 We cannot walk the path for them, we can only point the way.
