Never to be Forgotten

China Great Wall TabletsAt the Great Wall I admired these great big stone tablets lining the walls before starting our ascension through this wonder of the world.

The wall's history is set in stone never to be forgotten.

The stone tablets reminded me of the importance of writing, preserving and documenting goals, both past and present as they serve you in keeping track of YOUR history.

It serves you as a reminder of:
  • What you were thinking about.
  • What needed to be accomplished.
  • Your dreams.
  • What you went through to reach them.
  • Who you were and who you've become.

I still review goals from 2, 3, 5 years ago.

Just the other day I crossed off a goal I had written 7 years ago.

Wonders of the World Great Wall

Once you plant a seed in your subconscious mind it doesn't forget. It will be hard at work making sure it accomplishes what you set out to do even if it means taking a few more years for its completion.

When reviewing past and present goals you can't help but feel really happy that you took the time to write and record your thoughts and put a part of you on paper.

Your life and what you make/made of it is worth recording right?

Here you are at that time of year again where you have to prepare for next year's experience.

Physically, where will you BE at this time next year?

How much will you weigh? How strong will you be?

What about Flexibility? Endurance?

Which weapon will you master?

Will you make better food choices?

Cut out filthy habits of smoking or doing drugs?

Increase confidence to follow your true calling in life?


Will you remember to breathe and take care of your internal world, flowing the chi and releasing unwanted stress?

Who are you going to meet this year in love, business or as a role model?

Will you hold yourself accountable throughout the year to make sure you're following through and working towards the completion of the goals you've set?

Will you take some time alone at least once a week to meditate, feel your life and reflect on the choices you've made?

Will you dare to dream big goals?

Will you demand your absolute best even when you don't feel like it?

Will you get right back up after suffering a set-back or disappointment?

Will you walk the path of mastery this year?

I hope you do.

And I'll be right there beside you.

Secret to Progression

Seeing these old, used up stairs at the Great Wall reminded me of the secret of progression.

Time and Repetition.





















Both lead to results depending on your point of view.

Some activities and habits slowly destroy your body while others inject it with youth and vitality.

Which ones are YOU engaging in?

People often write in to ask how fast will they get results in their fitness level if they follow the instructions contained in our Station Training System, or "When will I be able to do a full split between two chairs the way Sijo, the Founder, is performing it on your Flexibility Series?". Some also ask: "When will I feel the chi coursing through my body as explained in your Neigong Program?".

Same kind of questions I guess I asked myself when I took that picture: "How much time did it take to dent the slate on the Great Wall steps to erode them that way?

Time and Repetition.

Talking about how fit you will become or the levels of strength you will attain won't get you anywhere. Waiting to find the best time to finally start taking care of your health will lead to you never starting in the first place. Dreaming without doing is a waste of time.

Every day that goes by where you fail to take action on your goals is an empty day. An opportunity lost to find fulfillment and a deep feeling of accomplishment in your life.

Act now.

Master Yourself,

The Floating Dragon

Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit the Great Wall of China.
























As if in a dream, trekking up and down this marvelous landmark left me just standing in disbelief.

I must of used the french swear words about a hundred times or so.
And it also gave my quads one hell of a workout.
One thing I found funny was how the people here call the Wall of China. It resembles the name of a primary technique we use in Fang Shen Do.

I don't know if this is the right spelling but they call it: Chung-Chung

Seeing something like this before my training starts really opens my mind to the endless possibilities of the human potential either in neigong training, physical martial art skills development, or the many dreams and goals I have yet to accomplish.

The qualities which were required to make the Great Wall a reality are the same ones that reside in you. Some maybe active, others dormant, it's time to get to work.

We all have our own personal Great Wall to build.

What kind of mark will you leave in this world?

Just a thought.
