When you were a kid, what did you want to do when you grew up? Perhaps you had a dream to be a doctor, an athlete, an actor, a law enforcement officer, botanist… astronaut? When you used to think about it I bet you were passionate and excited over the prospect of one day living out your dream! Then something happened to you on the way to achieving your dream. Perhaps it was someone who told you to “Grow up and live in reality!”, or someone discouraged you from pursuing your dream and you eventually started losing interest in it until finally you “went for something more realistic and practical”. Does this sound familiar? There is nothing wrong with being realistic or practical, but there is also nothing wrong with chasing down your dreams and living them out! Read more…
Where are you at in your life right now? Perhaps the better question should be is; Are you living the life of your dreams? When asked this question, too many people assert that they are living a life filled with regrets and disappointment. Some say that the “best part of living” is behind them, or that they are “too old to start” something new, or something they have always dreamed about doing. How does someone know that they are too old to change things up and rewrite their life story? What if someone is sixty, does that make them too old? Read more here…
If you ask anyone what they believe to be their greatest satisfaction, most will respond by saying they are happiest when they feel most in control of things including their own lives. In fact, having control over one’s life feels awesome, unfortunately so many people feel like puppets on a string to life, believing that their outcomes are based on a universal or cosmic roll of the dice. Of course there are many situations in life that can happen that feel like they were brought on by chance or by accident, which sometimes doesn’t seem fair, however at the end of the day what is more important than what happens to you is your attitude and how you choose to respond moving forward.

Have you ever been accused of being stubborn? There are many terms which are often synonymous with being stubborn. If you have been called; “hard headed, pig headed, bull headed, thick, inflexible, rigid, set in your ways, or even a dinosaur”, then someone may be trying to point out that you are as stubborn as a mule and need to change. Being single-minded and determined is okay, as long as it doesn’t cross boundaries or ignore the thoughts, ideas or opinions of others when they matter. After a while, folks get tired of being around “legends in their own minds” that dictate how everything is done, and soon stubborn people are left to themselves. For all intents and purposes, stubbornness is truly a choice… a mindset! Want to change…
Some individuals have what are called impulse control disorders whereby they act impulsively, sometimes planned or most times unplanned. Impulse control disorders are real mental health problems which psychology has diagnosed for years. Whenever an individual possesses a specific type of impulse control disorder, they usually feel a distressing tension or become highly aroused, then they feel the need to act out on it to feel some sort of relief from committing the act, or deriving some sense of pleasure or gratification from having followed through. Often times thereafter, the individual is most likely to experience a sense of shame, guilt, regret or even remorse for committing the act, especially if it has hurt or offended another person.

When people hear about martial arts (karate, judo, Tai Chi, etc.) linked to the mind, they often times begin thinking about “intense concentration” and mental discipline. Well, they are right because this “art” definitely does require one to have tremendous focus and mental discipline if they are truly serious about mastering their martial art.

What he is really saying is you can’t have one without the other meaning, a perfect mind/body relationship to master the art. Read more here…

Those who get what they want, or get the most of what they set out for or wish to accomplish are known to set intentions. Intentions are knowing exactly what you want and then believing you can get what you want by focusing your attention on it.
