It's Louse Time! Keeping it Old School

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: Keeping it Old School

Look around you.

Would our society be better off if we kept things old school?

In all departments.

Be it in relationships (romancing one woman 1000 times instead of romancing 1000 women once)

Martial Arts (Fully embracing the art and making "daily practice" a habit that will inevitably lead you to self-mastery)

Work Ethic (Having pride in your work and focusing on getting the job done instead of cutting corners and passing the buck)

Nutrition (Not falling victim to processed food altering our mind and body)

Courtship (Enjoying the process of falling in love and building a strong bond instead "doing" everything the first night)

Our grand parents and great grand parents had less technology than us but man did they know how to live.

What was all too common for them is being lost today.

All this entertainment and fast paced world we live in, we sometimes forget to just stop and feel our life, our breath.

Something basic like meditation could be done on a more regular basis. Meditating doesn't mean you have to hold a lotus position for hours, while wearing a white satin robe and shaving your head while humming and chanting a sacred poem.

Many types of meditations exist and most can be done out in public without anyone knowing you're doing anything special.

Keep it old school, Re-connect with You. Get this DVD to see what I mean. Meditation DVD.

Master Yourself,
