Three kinds of people

Sometimes a piece of daily sarcasm can help yourself to act. There are basically three kinds of people.

1. Those who makes things happen
2. Those who participate in the happening
3. Those who asked "what happened?"

I quite often ask myself that question and it's very rare that my wish is to be no 3. When I look back on most things I've spent time on in my life it's 1 and 2. They doesn't have to be ranked because if you start something good and can make other people to join you would be stupid if you couldn't do the opposite then other people start good things as well. But then things go wrong nobody want's to be 1 or 2 and many people prefer to say "it was them......." . The problem though is nothing happens with that attitude and your life get's REALLY BORING. So get out there and ask yourself who do you want to be and have some gut's.

It will be fun and you will go further.

Time for a new season

The "summer?" is to an end and the new season is to begin. I have had some wonderful days with our "all time high" summer camp with many new friends and happy moments. I got the honor of being invited to Lebanon and Sardinia during 2009 and I really looking forward to that. My seminar schedule is completely booked until next summer and I don't know if I should be happy or worried. I'm far to optimistic about time as always.

I got the book "The Alchemist" from a friend and I do recommend it. It made me feel positive and "look at the bright side of life". Go and get it and read it with an open state of mind if you want to refresh your philosophical side of life.

To do or not to do, is the action

I'm amazed how little people actually accomplish of what they say they really want to do.
I often hear people say they want to train more but they can't because there's to much stress at work. I don't really see a problem in that because everybody know that one of the cures to stress is working out. A member at the club "Kali Sikaran Göteborg" told me today that he really appreciated the training because he had a tough season at work and this was his relief. There you go, this man got it.

All my life I trained the most during the hectic highs, and some of my close friends have a really chaotic life and still work out a lot because thats the only way to handle it.

The society of today have high expectations on everybody and we also hive high demands on ourself to do all those things to be fulfilled and happy.

The conclusion is this. Take care of your basics, sleep, eat and work out. Then you have the discipline and energy to do ALL the other things as well as long as you don't cheat on the first three. I can do it, my friends can do it, so can you!

Berlin

Kali Sikaran in Berlin is a really good club.

During my seminar there I covered some Stick grappling, surprise action, take downs and locks.
These themes are quite demanding but the group kept on pounding ever so consistent.
It is really inspiring to teach and give your best to people that dedicated.

Like we used to say in our marketing - it's better to give than to get.

This is why I love my work, MABUHAY
