In the end, everyone is aware of this:
Nobody keeps any of what he has,
and life is only a borrowing of bones.

Is this the REAL Secret to Success in 2026?!

Image
  Well, here we are the cusp of 2026! 2026?! Seriously!? I remember back in the 80’s, 2026 was the place of sci-fi, road warrior, bladerunning cyberpunk or escaping dystopian New York. Sometimes it can seem as if we’re there or will be soon, but until then we have our own hopes, dreams and goals to shoot for in 2026! Resolutions?! We Don’t Need No Stinking Resolutions!! I don’t know if you’ve heard, but I’m not a New Year’s Resolution fan… However, I am a big fan of looking at what was working and what wasn’t this past year… AND then re-evaluating where you are at, where you want to go (and Why)… and what’s in your way… THeN setting your goals and action steps for the New Year… There’s no “New Year / New You” without doing the work and then being able to sustain it. Sometimes that’s going to take you uploading an entirely new operating system to your own hard drive… A.K.A. Changing your entire mindset. Those goals and action steps aren’t going to do themselves! And the one’s that w...

How to Set Boundaries During the Holidays

Image
  And just like that the Holidays are here! You’ve heard me say it before, but it bears repeating… The holidays are a great time of joy, but also stressful, so get ready… Prepare yourself! With the holidays so close, I thought it would be a good time to talk about how to set boundaries. Amazing that many people don’t really know how to so, here’s a little tutorial. Boundary Setting 101 Boundaries are about creating rules of how you work. How you interact. What’s acceptable and what’s not. Kind of like a social safe word (Zamboni! =). Boundaries are about YOUR Actions, in relation to someone else’s. You aren’t telling someone else what to do, you are telling them what you are going to do. I call it an  If / Then  statement. When you declare your boundaries, make them short & clear. "If  you continue to yell at me,  then  our conversation is over.” “ If  you do that again,  then  our time together is done.” “ If  you talk to your mothe...

Stretching, injury, and performance: A brief summary by Leonard H. Van Gelder

Image
 Leonard Van Gelder It was a good night; our Wednesday Krav Maga class was going well, everyone was sweating and training hard. We were working on frontal chokes while being pushed up against the wall. Leonard was having a difficult time getting one of the escapes to work, so he asked for help. After going over a couple of details Leonard said that he had it. Apparently he did, because a second later I hear a huge crash. As I turned to see what was going on I saw Leonard execute the escape perfectly on his partner Chris who had fallen forward with enough force to break through the drywall. The look on Chris's face was priceless as he picked himself up and out of the gaping hole in the wall. Now you may be wondering what all this has to do with my blog. Well, nothing really, I just thought I'd give a little introduction to Leonard Van Geldner who was kind enough to write this article for my blog. I've known Leonard for about 8 years or so now, he is a very ta...
