It's Louse Time! Serving the Mind or the Heart

If you're new to my list of focused, motivated, self- starters, Welcome.

(if you're not (new) 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.

Today's lesson is: "Are you Serving the Mind or the Heart"

I'm sure you all had this happen to you in one way shape or form. For example, let's take buying a car.

For months you dream about it.

You've found the perfect car for you. You tell yourself when you get this car you'll be happy and you'll drive it for a very long time.

You get the car, you love the car. A few months go by and that mind of yours says: "There's this other car that just came out, it's nicer and faster than the car you have right now. Maybe you should change it".

The mind always finds a way to screw things up. It loves to measure itself and really, if you listen to it you'll notice it's never satisfied.

Some people do this with their wives and husbands, others with martial art styles, some with their careers, some with the latest fitness gadget, etc...

Make the shift from serving the mind to serving the heart. That is one reason why you've been put here, to MASTER that.

Before you do anything you ask yourself does this serve the mind or the heart. If it's heart you'll never be disappointed.

One way to develop this ability is by walking on fire. Join us Aug. 24 th at our Private Training Center by registering here.

P.S. As soon as you go to take your first step across the fire bed you'll know exactly who's doing the talking.
