The Way

As we come into the new year we will be reminded everywhere we turn about the importance of reflection and resolution. Here are MMAA we are no exception to this. As a coach this practice has been at the fore front of my training for as long as I can remember. Even the belt system is SMART goal setting at work even before that fact dawns on us.

But I want to talk about "The Way". Oh yeah! That big metaphorical idea of there being some sort of path, that our lifestyle choices lead us down with some sort of higher purpose or ideal to strive for. And it is an underlying idea for everything! In western society we have come to call it culture. More specifically work culture, its even been branded as community, but "The Way" is there too. Giving you a road map of what is acceptable practice to demonstrate your "cred" if you will.

Ok let's tie this up here. Paths are both in front of us and behind us. The path behind is what we can use to reflect on to provide our bearings about where we want and or need to go. This is important for your goal setting as it will serve as your benchmark for what your goals should be on the path ahead.

The next year for me is about growth. yeah yeah its always about growth. But particularly with my martial arts practice I have let slip. Its easy to create excuses about becoming a father or work or whatever. But as the founder of MMAA I feel that it's important to walk the talk. And since martial art is the original self improvement tool I figure why not sharpen it. Martial arts has been in my life for as long as I can remember and its time to reconnect and bring my passion back to its practice.
