4 Gold Medals & a Bronze


A couple of months ago 2 of my students from our Casselman Kung-Fu School competed in the Canadian Water Skiing Championships near Toronto.

Kids Martial Arts
Francis et Valerie
They've been students of mine for about 10 years now, being brothers and sisters they feed off each other for motivation and friendly competition.

There are many reasons I'm sharing their story.

One reason is we always ask the kids: "What's your dream? What do you want to be when you grow up?"

A couple of years ago I remember asking them that same question, and they had showed interest to excel in that sport.

That's what happens when you are crystal clear about what you want, are self-motivated, will not accept failure, and are unwilling to make any excuses.

For them this year that meant 4 gold medals for Valerie (the youngest contestant there) and a bronze medal for Francis.

I always admire kids, with their honesty, enthusiasm and their willingness to dream freely without ever thinking about what other people will say.

For some that special trait disappears when they become grown-ups, for others, that boldness, excitement and fearless energy stays with them when they surround themselves with the right people.

Their coach, Matt Rini is impressed by their coordination, strength, flexibility and balance, something that he attributes to their Kung-Fu Training which is something he wants them to continue and pursue.

I've mentioned to you on many occasions how your martial art training is more than just punches and kicks.

It will force you to improve in all areas of your life.

I mentioned Fearless Energy, that is exactly what everyone needs to succeed in the new year.

A secret weapon that will give you the edge to stand out in your workplace, attract the right mate, feel strong and vibrant, and give you the courage to do what you always dreamed of doing.

Master Yourself,

P.S One way to to spark that fearless energy is to attend one of our special firewalking sessions, you can find out all about that here.
