Be the Warrior of your life!

The one great thing about being involved in the martial arts is that the knowledge I gain while training goes well beyond self-defense. We learn self-discipline,respect, goal setting, endurance, spiritual growth and the ability to stay in the game even when it looks as if you're beat. All these things can be used in your personal life as well.

I have one thing I've learned that I think is the most important for your success in life. This one thing will help you if you're in the office or on the street. You can use this in any area of your everyday life. What is it?

It's the ability to take action! In the martial arts you can have the best skills and be in the best physical shape, but if you don't take action it means nothing. If your in the ring to fight or on the street to defend yourself you must take action or be hit. Ed Parker the Father of American Kenpo Karate once said;"He who hesitates meditates in a horizontal position." You must move!

The same is true in your personal life too. Most people talk a good game about all the dreams and plans they intend but never go into action. These are the very people that will point out your failures and mistakes. They never worry about failure because they never attempt to do much in life."A life without action is a life without purpose."

The Warrior of Life will always take action. If they make mistakes they learn and go forward again. In the end it's not what you plan or intend, it's what you do that will create results. Always take Action in the direction you wish to go.

Be the Warrior of your Life!
