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 ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
