The Link to Success
News . Training notesWe are increasingly hearing motivational stories of those who succeed. What drives them? What separates them from the rest of us? Can anyone succeed? Are there things we can do that will increase our chances of success? Those are all good questions, important questions. Regardless of your age or social status we all grapple with self-doubt to some extent. Self-doubt can be a dominating force in people’s lives and in most it is. People who succeed are driven to ignore self-doubt or at the very least to be challenged by it. This is what drives successful people and it is what separates them from the ‘rest of us’. So if this is the case, the difference between success and mediocrity is whether we listen to that voice of self-doubt in our head, then anyone can truly succeed!
So this leaves one final question to answer, are there things we can do if we want to succeed? Obviously, the answer is YES! If you read this blog regularly you have read many articles about people in the Martial Arts demonstrating their ability to succeed. Of course practicing the Martial Arts is not the only path; however, it is the most effective course I know. To succeed we must possess characteristics of success, this requires discipline! Where better to learn discipline then in the Martial Arts where you learn to discipline yourself to do better. In the pursuit of the Martial Arts we also learn to compete against ourselves, we are our own adversary; all of our limitations come from within. So if we learn to master ourselves in the Martial Arts then we are in fact learning to succeed.
Here is another recent example of the Martial Arts leading to success. While this is an interesting and unusual example of success through the Martial Arts it is effective! People often tout sports in general as leading to success, this can be misleading. While participating in sports does much to improve our abilities in other areas like business the mere practicing of a sport does little. Every sport also teaches us different things however few meet the well rounded development found in the Martial Arts. So can you succeed Johnny? Yes, by many Paths but it will be much easier if you have followed the Budo Path and mastered yourself. Because once you have mastered yourself, all other opponents and obstacles seem trivial by comparison.
