Have To v. Get To

 



Have to vs. Get to…

You could go on and on about how you “Have to” work out…

Well, I try to look at it a bit differently.

My mindset is that I…

“Get To” workout.

No matter how much or little. How ugly or great I look or the session goes. I keep reminding myself that…

I “Get To” train!

Yep, even on the bad days!

Some people only dream of being able to move their bodies at all.

Jackie Chan

I came across this the other day and wanted to share it with you.

We both know that when you come across something on the internet, you never can tell if it’s true or not. Regardless whether or not Jackie Chan actually said this, make no mistake, the words are true, regardless who spoke them.

The interviewer asks, “Jackie, are you happy with your life?”


Jackie Chan replied:

“You know, I once heard some very wise words. The difficult job you complain about is the dream of someone who’s unemployed.


The mischievous child that tests your patience is the dream of the childless.


The small house you think is too cramped is the dream of someone who’s homeless.


The modest savings you worry over is the dream of those drowning in debt.


The health issues you consider burdensome are the dream of someone fighting a terminal illness.


The fact that your mistakes are not on display for the world to see is the dream of those haunted by their past.


The peace of mind you have, the restful sleep you enjoy, the meal you easily access, these are dreams for those living in war-torn regions.

We must cherish everything we have.”

No Different…

Our Lives are no exception to this...

Be grateful for the things you DO have. There are so many things for us to be thankful for, it’s easy to forget them in the midst of the things we want.

The paradise we dream about, once gotten, becomes our next prison we dream about escaping from.

It’s a constant cycle if you’re not careful!

Can Your Training Help w/This?!

Yes, if you are training in the right way. Your training should help you to remain grateful. It should constantly remind you of your WHY! Why are you training? What is the purpose? Are you doing things to help you achieve that purpose? Or are you conflicted? Don’t train one way, wanting some other type of result.

If you want oranges you have to plant the seeds of an orange tree. Don’t plant the seeds of an orange tree expecting apples!

Can Your Training Help w/This?!

Last week I suggested that you to take a closer look at your own habits and determine if they are still serving you.

This week I’m reminding you to be grateful for what you DO have…

Remember your WHY and…

Make sure you’re planting the right seeds.

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
