Legalized Drug Pushers

One week today I was boarding a plane for a business trip with my dad and happened to be sitting next to a group of high level pharmaceutical owners and employees who were on their way to the same hotel we were staying in for their end of year celebration.

I was close enough to hear some of the comments being passed around.

There must of been at least 30 of them.

One lady sitting next to us engaged in small talk and made a comment that pretty much sums up how the pharmaceutical industry really feels about our well-being and health:

"I like it when people are depressed and sick, we make more money".

Keeping you sick and treating your symptoms instead of the root cause of an illness means big bucks for these legalized drug pushers.

In my head I told myself: "You'll never make a dime off my back".

I'm also of the opinion that your health is in your hands, it's hard to tell these days if your doctor really has your best health at heart. How do you feel about that? Me, I was happy to know that I'm not their best customer.

In fact if everyone went to the hospital like I do, well there wouldn't be any hospitals or pharmaceutical companies would turn a "loss" every single year (instead of billions off of your back) and if there were hospitals, they would be for the people who really needs them.

Get in the habit of researching stuff for yourself. When a prescription is given, usually 10 times out 10 there's a cheaper, natural way of treating it.

I just got courses called Nutrition and Healing from Dr. Jonathan V. Wright. Eye opening stuff.

I'll let you know some of my findings in the coming weeks.

I'm not saying you should never visit your doctor. I'm just saying don't be so quick to reach for an over the counter drug or pay for a prescription given just to increase Big Pharma profits to later hear them brag about how many suckers bought their products.

I'm sure some drugs are important and vital to keeping someone alive during an operation or things of that nature.

But that lady really sealed the deal for me.

I'm going to be very careful to take care of MY health and I encourage you to do the same.

Master Yourself,

Take the Stairs

Stairway to Success
Although this is good advice from a fitness point of view it's not what I mean.

When it comes to your personal development make sure you take the stairs, not the elevator.

Taking short cuts in this area is not recommended.

Sure the elevator is quick and effortless but nothing worth having and fighting for is acquired through its use.

The elevator to the top is, has been, and always will be "out of order" in my view. In order to get to the top in any endeavor you'll have to take the stairs.

And you'll have to take them one at a time. Luckily they are right in front of you and you know exactly how many stairs you need to climb to get to the top.

Then when you do reach the top you'll be armed with the right tools to stay on top.

You can choose to look up the steps or step up the stairs? Which one will it be?

When establishing a strong Martial Art Foundation, specifically in Fang Shen Do or whatever style you practice, the first step I would recommend is FSD's 10 secrets volume which also comes with 2 free bonuses.

An orientation DVD that furthers your understanding of the foundation and a goal setting tool we use to get you on track and focused when obstacles might get in your way.

Take the first step here.

Are you aware this is happening?

After today's morning workout, I went through my standard ritual.

When doing this "thing", my thoughts are very clear and my level of self-awareness rises dramatically.

I'm talking about stretching and flexibility work.

You too have probably realized this fact:

Losing flexibility as we age is the rule, especially if you never stretch.

You make it worse if you sit at a desk all day. But some regular exercise and proper stretching can slow the decline.

Our ancestors never sat as long as we do. They were constantly on the move to hunt and survive.

We were never meant to have lower back pain, most blame nerve issues, muscle problems, a bad mattress or bending over to pick something up but the major cause of it is simply too much sitting.

Just think of the time you spend sitting down during your day?

No wonder it is estimated 90% of us will experience back pain at some point in our life. Tight hip flexors is a common cause of back pain due to over-sitting.

Making sure you complete hip circles as taught in the "Nadeau" technique or folding at the waist both front and back, and performing simple lunges are very easy ways to loosen up the hip flexors.

Flexibility training is a must to all martial artists and should be part of your daily routine.

Look here to get a peak at what we do in Fang Shen Do when it comes to getting your body limber and pain-free.

Only for the Elite Class?

Just got back from an amazing weekend with my dad and brothers in Punta Cana.

Although bathing in the sun was relaxing and energizing it couldn't compare to what we were exposed to, "Information Wise" over the weekend.

As you might already know, secret societies have existed for thousands of years.

There is one such society that is opening its doors to share with the world, information that was once kept only for the Elite Class.

What does this have to do with martial arts?

A martial artist is a warrior in every area of life, not just learning how to defend one's self or the ones you love but also protecting yourself from "Dream Stealers" and "Energy Leeches".

Losers talk about Action. Winners Act.

In anything you do it's important to surround yourself with like minded people. People that raise you up, not pull you down.

Keeping this information for ourselves would be wrong.

Which is why the first thing that came to mind today was sharing this with you.

Hang out where we hang out, you need to be referred though. Invitation only.

To access some of the info you'll need this affiliate code: 1508504

Visit this site only if you think you're worth more and think that in your life you feel like saying:

"I can do better than this!"

You can choose to become an affiliate (it's free) or become a full fledged member.

Enter here.

Fruit is always on a limb

In other words, nothing is ever easy.

To quote Zig Ziglar: "Most people wait until everything is just right before they do anything. They refuse to go out on a limb because they don't understand that the fruit is always on the limb."

Everything requires a little bit of effort, action and faith.

You have success and a personal champion within you waiting to be discovered.

Do you know someone who is "gonna do something just as soon as..."

Do you know them personally as in, maybe...You?

The people who wait until everything is "just right" before they do anything will NEVER do it.

The time will never be just right to start training and losing weight. Nor will it be to stop smoking, changing the food you eat or starting your own business and making a living doing what you're most passionate about.

This is the underlying principle of the Fang Shen Do System. To knock out the "I'll get around to it" mentality plaguing so many people today.

The best way to get things done is to FEEL good. And what better way to do that than by first mastering your body.

A strong body invariably leads to a strong mind that ultimately gets you to follow through on what you want the most.

Here's how to do it.

What's Important?

Deep Breathing TechniquesWhat you're doing right now.

All of us.

Wherever you are in the world.

And most are not even conscious of it.

BREATHING

What better way to instantly feel good than to take one long, deep conscious breath?

If ONE breath feels that good, imagine 10 in a row or better yet 10 deep breaths daily?

Deep breathing alone can help you lose weight.

Deep breathing coupled with walking can do wonders to elevate your mood.

Deep breathing mixed in with martial arts techniques?

Ah...there you have a recipe for power.

Understanding how to breathe while stretching will see your flexibility soar to new heights.

Taking care of your flexibility first, gives you an edge in every aspect of martial arts.

You'll have more speed.

Explosive Power.

Less Injuries.

You'll slowly increase your threshold for pain while strengthening your mind.

You'll quickly understand how to use self-talk and visualization to reach your desired goals.

In the end you'll be able to relax yourself quickly while possessing a ritual you can perform on your own which helps you feel good in your skin.

Isn't that the point of martial arts?

To feel good and to be pain free?

Start increasing your Flexibility today. Let me show you how.

Master Yourself,

Sibok M

The Art of Procrastination

Have YOU mastered it?

Resort to it every once in a while?

Or, NO, you never use it?

It's in your best interest that you don't.

Cause it will definitely lead you ...

Nowhere!

Procrastination makes you hesitate and miss golden opportunities.

Procrastinaton is the enemy of progress.

Procrastination spawns from being too comfortable.

In prehistoric times, procrastination certainly meant death. Can you imagine our cavemen ancestors refusing to hunt because they were too tired or lazy to do so.

To me procrastination still means death. Failure to act and let a goal slip from your grasp is a missed opportunity to breath new life into your heart and soul.

Having the life sucked out of you doesn't sound like a pleasant experience yet millions of people fall victim to it around this time of year.

Stick with your goals and see them through to their completion.

Master Yourself,

Sibok M
