A good kick in the pants

Sometimes all we need is a good kick in the pants. If you're reading this off of my blog on the Fang Shen Do website, like the saying goes: "A picture is worth a thousand words"

Nothing is ever easy.

EVER.

No matter who you are.

If you're very lucky you have someone close to you who doesn't hold back and shakes your tree so to speak when you need it or the ideal situation is that YOU are able to kick your own butt to get yourself to take action.

I suspect there might be a pre-conceived idea that it's easier for me to get myself to train, read, learn, improve, and stay motivated.

If you think that, you're wrong.

I just learned and apply one thing: "In order to defeat procrastination you need to get in the habit of taking immediate action"

Don't wait. Don't think. Don't question.

Whatever it is you're after: fitness, martial art skill, confidence, success, peace, flexibility, or respect, you need to attack your goals.

Attack?

Yeah, ATTACK.

If you think of it in that term you'll be less willing to give up on your goals.

If you LAND your strikes, i.e: take action, follow through, act in spite of fear, take a chance, or stay consistent you're going to win.

If you TAKE a hit, i.e: procrastinate, quit, complain, lose focus, or miss the big picture all together you're gonna lose.

How ironic is it that the greatest opponent you'll ever face is YOURSELF.

The only difference is some fights last 5 to 12 rounds, this one will last you a life time.

Equip yourself with the right knowledge, the right training, the right information so you're ready for your fight.

I suggest you start here.

Master Yourself,

Sifu Martin
