Attack Life Not Others

“It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.” — Gaius Julius Caesar

In violent situations, such as what we prepare for in martial arts training, there are no rules. One must act swiftly and decisively to address the situation. By being clear and decisive, we become more powerful and better equipped to handle challenging and potentially dangerous situations. Be decisive, rather than indecisive. Apply this to all areas of your life. Eliminate the gray.

“I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.” — King David

Steve Turoscy joins Tim and Steve to talk about group energy. Thoughts discussed include:

• Share your energy with those around you, because what goes around comes around
• True leaders don’t need titles or letters behind their name to be a leader
• Having compassion is a form of sharing your energy

Do you find it hard to be true to who you are while trying to conform to societal expectations? Tim and Steve talk about this quote from Seneca:

“Inwardly everything should be different but our outward face should conform with the crowd.”

Steve discusses the dangers of becoming fake and losing one's sense of identity by conforming too much. Tim shares an anecdote about Funakoshi's student and a lesson he learned about avoiding unnecessary confrontations. He wraps up the show with his concept of 3 circles — and as simplistic as it is — it’s something that might help a lot of us to hear.
