I'll do it tomorrow...

Today I start with a story my father shared with me a while ago.

It involves a spiritual master that was asked by one of his followers the following question:

"Master, in your opinion what is one of man's worst sins?"

The master pondered for a while, until he finally gave an answer:

"Lazyness"

That story has always stuck with me.

The "Lazyness Virus" seems to be attacking alot of people these days.

Lazyness is to be "unwilling to do any work or make an effort".

Is there any area in your martial art training you've been neglecting?

Is there anything you KNOW you should be doing but you're not?

The following, in my opinion, are some classic cases of lazyness, especially when all of them can be taken care of with a little bit of effort:

Unwillingness to stop smoking
Unwillingness to get and stay in shape
Unwillingness to change bad eating habits

It requires far less effort to make positive changes in those areas NOW than to wait and see the long term damaging effects if you neglect any of these 3 common problem areas.

Refuse to be lazy in the area of physical conditioning, our fitness program is so fast paced and dynamic that there's no time to get lazy and "put-off" your training by saying "I'll do it tomorrow". We all know where that phrase will lead you: Lazyville.
