 This here is something that completely changed my way of thinking after reading it so many times.
Also it has had a huge influence on how I live my life.

Mastery by Stewart Emery

Mastery in our career and consciousness simply requires that we constantly produce results beyond the ordinary. Mastery is the result of consistently going beyond our limits. For most people, it starts with technical excellence in a chosen field and a commitment to that excellence. If you are willing to make a commitment to excellence and surround yourself with things that represent excellence and pursue events and experiences that become miracles, your life will change. ( When we speak of miracles, we speak of events and experiences in the real world that are beyond the ordinary).

It is remarkable how much mediocrity we live with, surrounding ourselves with daily reminders that the average is acceptable. Our world suffers from terminal mediocrity. Take a moment to assess all the things around you that encourage you to remain average. These things keep you powerless, unable to go beyond the limits that you have arbitrarily set for yourself. Take you first steps towards mastery by removing everything in your environment the represents mediocrity, removing your arbitrary limits. Try surrounding yourself with friends that expect more of you than you do. Didn't some of your best teachers, your coaches, your parents expect more of you?

On the path to mastery, erase any resentment towards masters. Develop compassion for yourself so that you can be in the presence of masters and grow from the experience .Rather than comparing yourself and resenting people who are masters, remain open and receptive; a let the experience be like planting a seed within you - with nourishment, it will grow into your own individual mastery.

Correction is essential in power and mastery. You see, we are all ordinary. But a master, rather in condemning himself for his ordinariness, he embraces his ordinariness and uses it as a foundation to build the extraordinary. Instead of giving up, like ordinary people do, a master uses his ordinariness to correct his errors, which is essential in the process towards attaining mastery. You must be able to correct yourself without condemning or invalidating yourself, accept the results and improve upon them.

Correct, don't protect.

The video is a little dark so sorry about that I tried using the youtube edit to make it brighter. I now know the importance of lighting. :)

Life Changing

Hello everyone It's been awhile since my last blog, but I have been thinking about the word life changing a lot. I know I have said some stuff about this already in the meeting, but I really have been thinking about it.
  I first started to realize I was calling every thing I did in kung fu life changing, and I would tell others it was life changing. Then I started to feel like others possibly thought I was just being overly dramatic, and it could not be possibly true. Then it hit me I see all the opportunity's given to me as a possible life changing event and I acknowledge every little thing that happens in these opportunity's as something life changing. Also I can recall what was life changing for me at all the events or opportunity's that kung fu has provided for me.
     Now how the heck do I convey those feelings of life changing to others, and the ability to acknowledge the little things as a life changing event. I believe I am lucky because I have a super clear moment in my mind every day of when my life started to change. It all came down to going to a room on the left or the right. Two completely different paths for me to choose and I stumble onto Kung Fu. That one memory sticks with me everyday as my life changing event. It was such a small moment, but I have no idea where I would of ended up in life today if I went right. Now for me my mind gets blown away every time I think about it.
       So when I say something is life changing I am thinking of that moment and other moments I have had in my kung fu career. I would like to be able to transfer those feeling's I have whenever I tell someone it's a life changing event. I figure the only way to ever transfer these feeling's is through telling people in person, or of course blogging.
   I would like to list some life changing events for me, because these are places where my life for sure changed forever since attending these events.
1. Any time I go to a kung fu class
2. Boot camp         3. Banquet       4.  Form seminar   5. Black belt test     6. Tiger challenge  
7. Pandamodium     8. Alabama trip    9.Lion Dance   10. Dragon dance  11. I Ho Chuan  12. Demos
13. Saturday open training  14. Tai chi   15. Fitness class  16. Shaolin combative's class
(I'm sure I might have forgotten some but these are some I can think of right now)

These are all life changing events for me. I figure my life changes so much every time I attend all of these. Some might have more impact then others, but they always have an impact on me small or big.
    Now I am not saying that everyone has to start doing all these thing to experience something life changing. Even if you could only attend one of these thing I think you will greatly benefit from it. This is what I want to get across whenever I say something is life changing. I am saying why wait for something major in your life to change your life; take any one of these opportunity's and change your life on your own or with the help of the event.

  Anyways I hope whenever you hear me next time say that it will change your life; is that you give it some thought. So as I love to say remember everyone stay extraordinary.
