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 ...

What'd You Say?!

Image
  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...
