I ask my martial arts students the following: Do you know who you are? Do you know what you want from life? Can you control and channel your thoughts, actions and feelings? To answer your own questions: - Know what motivation and philosophy you believe in. - Bring the best of all cultures together and take the best for you. - Master meditation and visualization that will help you along the journey of life. - What you do before, during, and after a class to maximize benefits in techniques that are applicable to any learning situation. - Control your emotions to control your destiny. - The body, the mind, the spirit are the life forces that must be developed to be the total human being for life. - To achieve balance in the triangle of life - your mind, body and spirit in life as well in anything you do, find the ways to improve what you know about yourself, feel about yourself, and what you think about yourself.
