Valuing Older people

 " I raised 4 kids in one room.  Today My children now have 4 houses but do not have a room for me "
                               Translated the message is clear. ..more respect for our elders is needed.

 Have times changed the value of elders , the value of family?

 It's why I love the martial arts as Respect & Loyalty to family are not only taught but promoted first and foremost.

 I just dont' see schools teaching such values and as such the role martial arts schools play in everyday loves is becoming more &  more important

Just another excuse?

Avoid the  phrase  I don't have time... "will help you realise you don't have time needed for just about everything you choose to accomplish in life" 2012 is My 30th year of teaching and you can only imagine the excuses I have heard over this amazing journey! I don't have time has to be up there and YES it is just another excuse.If there is a will there is always a way...if you did not have time to stop for fuel what would happen to you car? But that's different I hear you say? Your body is your car,your vehicle for life and so many don't have time,what is scary I have seen many have a major health scare and all of a sudden they find time to change their lifestyle habits. They are the lucky ones; for some it's just too late.....moral of the story? Stop making excuses and make positive life changes when in good health to maintain and improve it...let it be YOU to decide your lifestyle choices not your unfortunate circumstances!

Life is good

Image
Recently there have been deaths fairly close to our family,I have seen people become victims of fraud to the tune of $500,000 and I have been through a tax audit....but life is good. Fact is there is no life without problems but as they say it's all about how you handle them! Many would place money before their health ,then at the moment when death is near then they would readily sacrifice all their wealth and belongings in exchange for life. The moral of the story.....value your life and health when you have it and do all to protect and maintain it.When in the best of health you have the freedom of choice, sadly it's not appreciated by many until their choices are taken away from them. Money ,houses and cars can all be replaced....value life and remember everyday above ground is a great day. Life is good,it's very good.
