Are you Teachable?

While I'm wrapping up my time spent here in Los Angeles this important question comes to mind.

Not only is it important in Martial Arts but I think what you accomplish in your life is in direct proportion to how faithful you are to this important principle.

"Are YOU teachable?"

"Of course I am!" you might say.

Staying teachable is one of the hardest things to do because eventually your mind wants to say: "I know that, NEXT!"

And it isn't so much about learning new things it's HOW you learn. Do you look and listen more than you talk?

Do you know what one of your body's strongest muscles are?

Your legs?

Your biceps?

Maybe your abdominals?

Actually, none of the above.

Some of the strongest muscles in your body are in your EYES.

And for good reason.

If you're going to learn and constantly improve yourself you need to use them wisely.

Model someone that has what you want or has been where you have been.

Along the same lines, another strong muscle is your tongue.

When you do speak (which should be proportionately less than watching and listening) make sure to keep your promises and follow through on what you say you're going to do.

Become a person of integrity and character.

Master Yourself,

P.S. This has got to be one of the most important life lessons you can ever learn.

Not only in martial arts but in every area, be it in your personal affairs or professional ones.

Do you know someone who doesn't follow through on their promises? Send them our way and we'll help them with that.
