I have the chance to train with my dad every week. He truly is an inspiration.
He doesn't make any excuses. He knows what he has to do and he just does it. He can do pretty much what I do and I'm almost 30 years younger.
I know most of you are maybe not as lucky as I am to have a father that's in martial arts and started training you from a young age but find someone.
Someone you can think of when you're going through a difficult exercise or a challenging time in your life. You ask yourself what would your mentor do in this situation.
You know that scene in Enter the Dragon when Bruce Lee breaks his tea ceremony with the government agent and says: "It's Louse time", and the agent replies: "Yes of course"
It's a time where the instructor teaches an important lesson to the student.
I get one from my dad every week.
I'm working on making those lessons available through several Podcasts which you'll be able to download to your iPod, on your computer or your PSP ("Play Station Portable", just in case you don't know what I'm talking about).
Today was "Black Tongue".
One of the reasons people don't succeed in business or reach a high level of physical fitness is exactly that. They have a black tongue. Everything that comes out of their mouth is garbage.
They prefer to complain than to train.
Things like not doing what you said you would.
Being a king or queen of excuses.
Preferring to complain about what other people have instead of focusing on what you really want.
Concentrating on the problem instead of the solution.
Instead of doing the above, talk less - do more. Or make use of your tongue correctly. Use isometric breathing for tough exercises by putting your tongue behind your teeth as you exhale.
Connect your tongue to the palate of your mouth to activate blood and chi flow.
Use empowering keywords to not give up in a challenging exercise.
Say "Thank You" for the special people you have in your life.
Reaching a decent level of physical fitness is attainable. You just need to learn to become a self-starter. An action phrase I use all the time in moments of weakness, as quoted from W. Clement Stone is "Do it now".
You're sitting on the fence, you want to get started but you don't. Instead, take charge, no more garbage, "Do it now", here's where you need to go.
Master Yourself,
