It's Louse time! Single Most Important Quality

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 revolves around the single most important quality you need to develop.

Without it you can't accomplish anything worthwhile.

Once you've acquired it, it will improve every area of your life.

Through martial art practice this quality is harvested early on in your training.

Armed with this quality there's nothing you can't accomplish or excel in.

I'm talking about Self-Confidence.

Think about it.

If you had total confidence in yourself, what would you NOT do?

From a physical standpoint, if you had confidence in your capabilities and felt like you mastered your body through martial art training and you knew you were strong, coordinated, flexible and agile, you wouldn't shy away from any physical activity or sport.

If you had total confidence knowing you could protect yourself, would you travel more and see the world?

What if you had complete emotional confidence?

Feeling unafraid of criticism, failure, doing things differently, standing up for what you believe in?

You don't grow unless you step out of your comfort zone.

You know what? Confidence is not permanent.

You constantly need to work on it, chase it relentlessly and not lose it.

Keep challenging yourself. Stay sharp. Get the edge.

Boost your confidence by attending our next Firewalking event held on October 25th. , finally acquire the piece of the puzzle that makes everything happen no matter what field you're in.

Master Yourself,

Sibok M
