Connection Builds Success



Wow! This week's gotten away from me!

Just like you... There's a lot going on!

Cool stuff, but it's rapid fire... sometimes its difficult staying on top of it all and it gets easy to feel overwhelmed.

...then I tell myself...

Pleeease... I got this #&%!  =)

When hasn't it worked out?!?

I mean REALLY not worked out?!

NEVER!

It ALWAYS works out in the end!

So stop worrying!


How Do You Stay Motivated?

Those who know me know that I'm a pretty 'solo' kind of guy.

A Ronin...

However, I do appreciate connecting.

As a matter of fact sometimes being connected helps keep me motivated...

One of the reasons that I developed PeaceWalker.net  is not only educate, but to develop a community to keep us connected! (For me and you!)

That's one of the reasons that I started Ronin Martial Arts Academy over 25 years ago!

Yes I like my solidarity, but I like connection too.

Connection to other people provides:

~ Community
~ Learning
~ Motivation
~ Protection
~ Support
~ Security
~ A Challenge
~ Enjoyment (hopefully)
~ Stability
~ Growth
~ Commendatory
~ Comfort
~ An Outlet for You to Contribute
~ Service

Sharing adversity with others can help to Keep Going and have a better experience.

A group setting will often motivate us to do WAY more than we would on our own. Because sometimes we need our @$$ Kicked a little! =)

Yes, I know it's easier to connect on-line (& do that too),

...but,

I'm talking about meeting with people, you know LIVE real people...in-person!!

I KNOW!? Right!?!


How Do YOU Stay Connected?

Even if you're like me and value 'Your Space,' how do YOU stay Connected in your Personal, Professional and Public Life?

Yes, it's easier to connect on-line (do that too)...

...but also...

Go out and find like minded people (and some not so like minded too!), to share your journey with to benefit, share with and learn from!

Do it in different aspects of your life:

~ Work
~ A Hobby or Two
~ Something Bigger Than Yourself (Church, Temple, a Charity, etc)
~ Personal Development
~ Working Out

...and don't forget to stay connected with those who you love...

Your family and friends are worth investing in for both of you!

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people simply do

The Shot Heard Around the World

Even though many could see where all of this division and hatred in our country was leading to, when we witness the actual violence, realty once again floods in and has a way of shattering the comfort of our complacency, if only until the next headline. Some may find all of this shocking, others may see it simply validating their own fears. Regardless, of your political views, we have to take into account what this level of violence can do not only to the former President and his family, but what does to the state of our entire Nation. Yesterday as news broke of former President Donald Trump being shot, I can’t say that I was entirely surprised. Saddened, but not surprised. Regardless of your political stance, this act of violence is a dark reminder of the dangerous consequences of a society steeped in hate and division. Our collective heartbreak should not be about politics, but about the division and hatred that fuels this erosion of our humanity. We live in a time where traditional

Cutting Through the Static

  Me and the crew at Venue 3 Two after a PeaceWalker Conflict Communication Workshop Remember in the old days when you used to listen to the radio on a road trip? No, not digital or streaming. I’m talking about old school FM radio. When you’re putting some miles on and crossing state lines. The radio stations you listen to don’t broadcast far enough for your entire trip, so you have to channel surf to find new channels as you move on down the road. You continue to push the search button until you hear a song in the genre that you want so you can lock in a desirable station for a spell. Sometimes you’re listening to a song you really like but the station is fading… The static starts feint, almost imperceptible, than grows in intensity to the degree that you can no longer ignore it. If you really like the song, you try to hang on as long as you can, listening to the tune through the white noise and times it cuts out completely, hoping to hear as much of the song as you can before the sta
