Mental Appetites

William James was quoted saying: "We do not sing because we are happy. We are happy because we sing." Along those same lines "We do not stop working and playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop working and playing."

I don't know about you, but these quotes really hit home for me.

Staying young and vibrant is a top priority of mine and although making sure you exercise properly and regularly is very important to keep yourself aligned with that goal, having the right mental attitude is where it all begins.

There's a section in Zig Ziglar's book: "See You at The Top", chapter 3 to be exact, where he clearly explains what one needs to do to: Feed your Mind.

Aren't we all eager to fill our bellies and this on a timely basis 3 times a day?

But when do you deliberately, on a pre-determined schedule feed your mind?

Accidentally?

Occasionally?

When it's convenient?

Wouldn't it be marvelous if it had been arranged so that an empty head, like an empty stomach, wouldn't let its owner rest until its owner put something in it?

You need to constantly read books, listen to inspiring CDs, attend seminars and as martial artists the same is true about your development.

Get involved, read FSD's prime literature, watch FSD DVDs and attend live trainings and seminars so you stay motivated and constantly growing.

Speaking of DVDs we'll have a brand new one for you next week.

I'll let you know the details as soon as they become available.

Master Yourself,
