i can actually track back my own progress and the evolution of how i think about training. i am writing this because i so often step back from just looking for the next workout or excerise and get back to the PRINCIPALS behind why we excerise in the first place.
Training is not about Instant gratification. anyone looking for constant progress wont stick with training for long. The essence of training is the experience and what you learn about yourself while doing it.
Training is about process, not the outcome!
If your always caught up looking for progress, upward movement, or even in marital arts a new belt colour, you`ll be missing the most important lessons that are right there in front of you.
you`ll get there and theres one simple thing you need to do it is consistency!
When it comes to your physical training or marital arts or anything i mean anything!, you have decided to purse it wholeheartedly in your life, you should remember the same answer as Thomas edison:
"Theres no real destination, no end and certainly no merit for gratification."
( i fine these words so powerful,so moving inspirational indeed)
If your consistent it demonstrates that you have two very important Characterisitics( looks up google to speel that correctly):
Discipline
perseverance.
with these two attributes you cant be stopped from anything that you are seeking to achieve.
without htem you`ll never reah any goal that you`ve set for yourself. think about your own goals and what you`re working toward.
have you been staying consistent toward your goals?
have you been patient and do you always look for the lessons behind the frustration you may be experiencing?
have you attempted to be better at what you do each day more than the day before? have you been pressing too hard and thinking that you shud be fitter or have a belt by now or a certain mark?
well if you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to take the pressure of yourself and enjoy the ride.
like omg the carriot cake i ate today yum yum yum
remember the tighter you hold a handful of diamonds trying not to spill them, the more you lose.
loosen your grip on yourself and you`ll be amazed at the progress you may start to make.
Jujitsu time!
i`ve been around jujitsu and the marital arts for a long time,
so many friends and cilents etc as me why i am not a higher rank in jujitsu
the answer is revealed!
i may have been around it for a long time, but i havent been practicing it as much as i should. because of this, im content with my skill however if i decide that i want a back belt, i would have to be realistic about making the commitment to consistency.
but i am content with my skill like my idols greatest sayin:
"a blackbelt only covers 2 inches of your ass, you cover need to cover the rest"
truth is i am a cagefighter, fitness freak, nutritionlist and personal trainer and background in martial arts i may be all these things be say i am but truth is
i am Paul McGinley and that title suits me fine.
heres one of the most powerful statements that i tell my cilents.
where you are in life is excactly where you`re supposed to be because of the things that you`ve done up untill that moment in time. to do anything else butt accept your current situation would be crazy.
the real thing to do iis to decide where you want to go and then use both consistency and patience to get there.
enjoy the ride/ it is after all the path you`ve chosen in life!
i hope this inspires people to get back in track toward there goals may it be fitness/music or art any of that i hope this blogspot helps.
this is to my dearest of friends, as i start my new hourney with God i hope this inspires you as it has on my journey:
every journey sarts with one step, and all the steps after that are equally important.
for me : each workout every piece of food i put in my mouth, every breath i take they will all add up.
in the end you`ll see that there are no little things.
Now get back on the path and get to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
