It's Louse Time! Cherish your Youth

If you're new to my list of focused, motivated, self- starters, Welcome.
(if you're not jump right away to today's lesson below)

Every day I communicate to you the best ways to train and the kind of mindset it takes to get results either in your physical fitness or martial art training.

Friday is always what I call: "Louse Time". Modeled after Bruce Lee's strategy in Enter the Dragon. You know that part where he's having tea with the government agent but he's disturbed by one of his students and Bruce Lee tells the agent: It's Louse Time! The agent replies with his British accent: "yes of course".

Since I'm 6 years old that scene has always stuck with me and I'll be using that same strategy with YOU every week.

Friday is where I share with you Life Lessons and Direction given to me by my dad (and Sifu) every Friday.

There this saying that goes: "Cherish your youth young man for you too will grow old"

Yes that's true but you can CHOOSE how you grow old. My idea of growing old is not complaining about aches and pains.

It is not taking 20 different pills a day and putting all my faith in my family doctor who supposedly has my best interest at heart (or is he more of a drug pusher?).

It is not spending my pension check at the casino. It is not sitting on a bench at the old folk residence waiting to expire.

It is not sucking on yet another cigarette cause I'm bored out of my mind.

It seems the majority of people have bought into the idea that they're pretty much "over the hill" when they hit 65. It's kinda like this mass delusion so deeply impregnated into our society.

Did you know that the number of people turning 100 doubles every year.

Also at 101, Larry Lewis ran the 100 yard dash in 17.8 seconds setting a new world record for runners 100 years old or older.

Hearing stuff like that gets me inspired. Or watching my dad still training when he's well into his 50s. Today's lesson wasn't too complex, it was just "Leading by Example".

No you're not too old to start training or to keep on training. Choose to stay fit for life.

Aim higher,
