Safe People

Who are safe people. A judgement of safe people, when talking to a person and that person is talking badly about someone else that person is probably talking badly about you, not a safe person. How do you find that person, friend, that you can tell all to and trust with your secrets. Yes we all have something that we don't want to dig up for the whole world to know. Do you want to be friends with someone who is popular or of high importance so you can be important. When you wall other people out, you are also walling yourself in, these walls were built when you needed them, to protect yourself. If you are in a group and the conversation drifts to a conversation of being judgemental, gossiping way. Gently steer the conversation to something more positive.

Discomfort

One of the reasons people do not mature is they don’t want any pain, discomfort or any suffering in their life. Pain and discomfort is the only way you can grow. Is to learn how to embrace pain. The reason people don’t take a stand in life for what they believe in, is they don’t want to be persecuted, rejected, don’t want to be made fun of, or laughed at, or people talking behind their back. If you are afraid to be rejected for something you believe in, if you stand tall for your beliefs, maybe some day those people that rejected you will have to pay you honor.

Leading Life

As martial artists we have to get up every day and lead a life, and consistently walk in peace, love, and show other people of the world that the martial arts is more than about kicking and punching. We need to take inventory of what we do on the street on the road in the store, to display our lives in the way we want our world to de directed. If we only do this once or twice a week, and the rest of the time we are leading a life of no respect and discipline we are not walking what we talk. How are people going to follow your example if we are not consistent. We have to learn not to be lead by our emotions.
