How Far?

Have the heard the person who has spoken about the things they have accomplished. You know the one who may say that they did a year of college, or made it half way through a certain job. You may even be that person yourself. The person who feels as if they are better than someone else because they began the race, or ran further. But the truth remains that YOU DID NOT FINISH. To take away what you may feel is a blow to yourself, you build up the attempt and downplay the non completion of the task. By doing this it often allows for you to feel a little better than someone else. Stop comparing how far you have gotten in the course of life to another person. Your victory ....

No Pain No Gain

A student of mine said “Master C my body hurts from yesterday’s workout “. I smiled and said. “That is how you should feel in life in general. Your muscles hurt because you worked them and you are forcing them to grow and to become stronger. That is how it should life your daily life." "That pain you feel by no longer having that friend that you hoped would be with you through thick and thin...It’s growth!! That pain you feel by no longer having that boyfriend or girlfriend...It’s growth. That pain you feel from the uncertainty of tomorrow due to the loss of a job, a bill that is due, or any welcomed circumstance...It’s growth. ....

You Will Be Successful

Both bring pain so why not let the pain you experience be that associated with growth and achievement, instead of excuses, regret, self doubt. ....

Opinion or Fact

Personal opinion is not public fact. A few months ago someone heard me speaking about a business I had made an appointment with to utilize their services. This person told me that he used them and that they sucked and he had to go to court because of them. Sorry, I do not allow the experience of one person to deter how I feel about another. I used the service and they were outstanding!! As we discussed their payment options I could see where a problem could come up. Nothing wrong, but the company allowed for payments if you were not able to pay the full amount due. However, if you fell behind their would be reasonable fees and interest added to the amount due. Failure to pay ....

The Plan of Nothing

While I was standing by the beach I kept staring at the island across the ocean. As always I planned within my mind how I could one day be on that island. In the horizon I could see a storm approaching. Still, I planned how I would one day cross the ocean. I waited for the storm to come. I waited through the storm. I waited. After the storm past I planned how to build the raft. In the horizon the clouds began to darken. Soon the next storm was upon me. Still I planned and I waited for the right time. I waited. When the storm had past. The ocean was calm. I look around for the wood and vine needed to build my raft. I calculated in my mind how much room I would need ....

More than a school project...A life lesson

Some time ago a student of mine came to my office with his mom,“Master C” he began “I am doing a project for school. I am to ask 5 people that I respect what is their greatest accomplishment in life and their biggest goal. The accomplishment has to be outside of having kids.” “Great question. How many people have you asked so far?” I said. “You are the last one.” “Saved me for last huh” I said as we all laughed. Mom had pulled out her cell phone and had begun to record this conversation “This is going to be a good one” she said as she sat in a chair in front on my desk. The student pulled out a ....

Are You My Friend

A student asked me how I would deal with someone who disrespects me. I told her that I would no longer allow that person around me. She then said what would I do if she continues to disrespect me? My answer was “I wouldn’t know that she is continuing to disrespect me because I no longer allow that person around me.” My student then said “Maybe a friend told you that she is still talking about you.” I replied “I would be more concerned about how that friend responded to the person talking badly about me, then I would about the actual person talking badly about me.” “You would” she asked. “Absolutely. I expect the ....

Where Are You

I put people into one of five categories. Enemy, no relevance, acquaintance, friend, and family. I expect enemies to do what they do. People of no relevance it doesn't matter to me one way or the other what they say and do. Acquaintances are where most reside. We know each other, have some degree of respect and interaction, some trust, but I do not put it past them to harm me to better themselves. I do not expect them to be there for me during true times of stress or trouble. Friends, I have few of. I believe it is a word that is overly used and few qualify to have. Family is not one based upon the blood you have when born, but is more based upon the blood you are ....

F inish IT!

F inish It We have all know that the best way to become fit is to buy the multiple things advertised and seen in the famous and often times non stop infomercials on TV right? Even the Wii Fit, PS3/4/25, and Xbox have fitness games to get you fit. Fancy watches tell you how far you have, phones entertain you while you exercise. Shaun T will dance with you, Tony Little will preach about his Gazelle, Tony Horton has his P90Xxxx’s and 10 minute trainer. Jillian Michaels tells you to be loser by losing weight with her and the show she use to star in “America’s Biggest Loser. We see elliptical machines reinvented daily. Ab Roller”, “Ab Lounge”, ....

What is revealed

A pastor said to me years ago "If someone tells you that you are a horse, simply laugh at them. If another tells you that you are horse, look deeply at yourself to find why they would say that. If a third tells you that you are a horse...No need to look further, for you are a horse.The perception of another is often times formed by the image you project. If people, the right people, who truly care about you, tell you that you project a negative image to others. Maybe it’s time to work more on you instead of focusing upon the faults of others. ....
