Your physical body is your vehicle that carries you through
this life. In it you move, live and have your being. To
be able to master the martial arts takes energy, physical
dexterity, flexibility, and muscle co-ordination especially
in the hands, arms, legs and feet, as well as a degree
of physical strength. I have a question for you: If you
owned a Porsche or Ferrari and your business depended
on its road racing capabilities would you keep it well
tuned, lubricated, road tested, and only put the highest
octane most efficient fuel in it? Or would you put KoolAid
and coffee in the fuel tank while stuffing a few Hostess
Twinkies down the gas pipe? When it was low on oil would
you put in whatever junk you had on the shelf? Would you
park it in the rain and 110} sun and let the tires go
half flat and then on race day expect it to perform perfectly?
NOT! Your body is more important than any car you will
ever touch or see. It is much more magnificent and yet
it is usually taken for granted. The body you take care
of today is what you live in tomorrow.
Mental
ƒ It's your mind -take charge!
Take responsibility and learn how to run your own brain
for a change. Get your commitments in shape
by setting a plan, making a timetable for its accomplishment,
taking action, and checking your progress. Announce your
plan to others who will support you in reminding you of
keeping your agreements.
Spiritualƒ Fill your heart with
joy. See God in everything.Gratitude.
Relationshipsƒ
Forgive everyone for anything they have ever done or will
ever do. This frees you as well as them. This is not suggesting
that you continue to be involved with them - just
be finished with the drama personally. Take whatever action
can still be pursued to heal or bring closure to the
situation so you no longer have to carry it..
Lifeƒ
Organization: better flow, less effort, more purpose.
