Going back to basics

Just completed another Firewalking course this weekend.

Let me tell you, I enjoy them so much because I learn just as much as the participants do.

I strongly believe that almost all of us already know what we have to do to be successful.

We suffer from one condition.

Short term memory.

You and I need to be reminded on a constant basis of what we already know.

Sad but True.

Take Martial Arts.

Your growth, skill-wise, is in direct relation to how much care went into harvesting strong basics.

Keeping your Guard up.

Breathing and staying loose.

Staying on the balls of your feet.

Lowering your center of gravity.

Spending 80% of your time on conditioning. Etc...

Re-read old books you've read, your personal journal from a couple years ago, and your past goal lists to be reminded of what you know, your memory banks are filled with untapped ideas, motivation, and applicable knowledge that got lost in the shuffle.

Get back to basics,

Sibok Martin

P.S. Here's a book you should review on a constant basis.
