302. The Importance of Balance

The second group says no, a mother should be able to pursue her own career, and although the family may suffer some, her dreams and …

While the reasons vary as to why each person wants to involve themselves in the martial arts... 1. Self-defen…



309. Talk Yourself To Success
     There are many things that drive people to success, and a key factor is what is known as 'internal dialogue'. This is the dialogue that is constantly playing inside your head. It's the voice that starts talking as soon as you do something, meet someone, or think about anything.

When you are 'living the dream,' you will be able to say that you have found satisfying work and are fulfilled in the relationships you share with the important people in your life. Now, I ask again, 'Are you living th…
