Eleven Quotes from Sifu Marcus - 'Sifu-isms'

Eleven Sifu-isms

• Suffering is inevitable... the resistance to the inevitable.

• How much happiness you want is how much you will have to change, if you are unhappy.

• The choices made yesterday do not decide the choices of today.

• Nothing is that serious, but it's all important.

• Truth is never hidden, just sometimes ignored.

• Whatever you are trying to do, you are in reality, not doing.

• You are either moving forward or backwards, there is no standing still.

• Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been different.

• First there’s choice, then there’s breath, then everything else.

• The up side of ego is: you get to believe you can do anything. The down side is, when you engage it and try and do everything, you get nothing done.

• Real power is finding peace when you have every reason to suffer, or being compassionate when you have every reason to betray and hate.

The Red Light Meditation - from Get Better Now

The comments I get the most when I bring up relaxation or meditation and their benefits is: "I don't have enough time, or too busy, I’m overwhelmed, I can’t fit that into my life." I know that sometimes that is definitely true for me.

The challenge was to create a technique that I could do consistently but that did not take any more time out of my day. So, I asked myself, “Is there any time that I’m not using where I could at least take a breath?”

Then it hit me, STOP LIGHTS! I spend a countless amounts of time being unconscious just sitting there at those stop lights doing who knows what. There was my free time! Yet by all intent and purposes I'd be doing the same thing I’ve always done, really adding nothing to my day, but now doing it with intention.

After almost 30 years of meditation and doing just about every practice under the sun, this was one of the easiest and yet most powerful processes I have ever done. I feel it is one of the few practices that truly permeates my life, when all others tend to fall away. Instead of adding a new meditation to my life it integrates meditation and my life. Plus, it is really easy, I like that.

Here it is:
Every time I stop at a red light I take long slow deep breaths through my nose, down into my belly, and back out my nose while focusing my eyes on just one thing. It is usually the red light in front of me. I also try not to chest breathe or hold my breath. Smooth and deep is what I think. The point is to find stillness and peace right there in the chaos of traffic then when the light turns green go about my day. That’s it!
Enjoy!

Welcome to Get Better Now! The blog.

What is the show about? Listen to the Get Better Now Promo Here!

The show is a compilation of the techniques and philosophies I've been teaching and/or using for the past 30 years. And I wanted to give everyone free access to some of this priceless yet essential knowledge before it is forgotten -yet do it in a way that doesn't necessarily exclude anyone with the usual airy-fairy, spiritual bull-shit tone and info. I was tired of hearing and seeing all of these amazing teachers and info that no one knows about, and when people did find them it all sounded like a baby fricking babling in an Indian accent. It prevented the message from getting through only because of the fact that the messenger was a little nutty. The real travesty is that these teachers and styles have overshadowed the message, creating a stereo type that overshadows anyone else who might have a similar message that people would receive. And if they happen to be interesting and engaging, then they probably are just trying to sell you something. I wanted to give you something you could use NOW to get better that you don't have to have a doctorate in ancient civilization or philosophy to get. AND FOR FREE!

It will be me and some of the best teachers and techniques that you may not know but will make you definitely Get Better Now!

Direction, Goals, and Hitting A Bulls-Eye with Your Life

Direction, Goals,
and
Hitting A Bulls-Eye
with
Your Life

One of the most common question I get is, "Sifu, How do I make what I want happen?" Well... What I usually say is, "It's much harder to hit your target, much less the bulls-eye, if you have no idea where that target is." And like usual the reply is,"Huh?"

Ok, it's like this... Let's assume you kinda know what you want, and if you don't, take a look at my post: 'Writing Down Your Goals and Getting Want You Want...' So, from there, just for a moment let's imagine your goal is a target, a target for you life. This target can be big, small, inconsequential, or very important, but a target none the less. And just like everyone else all you want is to get somewhere near this target and if you are lucky every once in a while you hit the bulls-eye. But that just doesn't seem to happen very often, hitting the bulls-eye or even the target most of the time.

So the question arises,"What's up? All that energy and planning and I'm nowhere nearer to my target!" Then generally everyone starts blaming the target, or the darts, or even the concept of making a target in the first place. You come to the conclusion that it's all shit, and useless, right?

No...

The problem I usually see is, with how most people hit the target, NOT the target itself. And let me tell you I'm just as guilty of this as anyone. This is what is usually going on... We all have some sort of target, far away, close, big, or small, whatever... A target. But here's the rub, We are under the illusion that we kinda know where the target is or if we look at it every once in a while we can hit it. Think about this... If you actually tried this in the real world...

Imagine you're in a bar playing darts and you see the dart board on the wall, you aim once, look away, and start throwing. Would you hit any bulls-eyes? Would you even get anywhere near the dart board? Well, maybe the first shot would, but what about the fiftieth? Whoa! Your friends better take cover. And if we take this little story even further, instead of just taking one look at the dart board, you close your eyes and say,"God... if it was meant to be, let this once be the one. Guide my hand with my eyes closed. I trust you. So pleease let me make this one!" And then you let it fly... WITH YOUR FUCKING EYES CLOSED! But the insanity is, that when you open your eyes and you've hit nowhere near the board you're actually disappointed with the outcome.

This is when the blaming starts, and you start saying to yourself, "There must be something wrong with my darts!"- "The target is in the wrong place."- "I'm too far away."- "It's too far away."- "I didn't really try." -"Something was in my way"- " I suck! I can't do this! I'll never be able to do this."

The crazy part is for fuck's sake all you would have to do is open your fucking eyes and aim!

This is what I find most of us are doing and why most of us feel we are having a hard time getting what we want and attaining our goals. All we have to do is keep our eyes on the target and we will naturally land somewhere around the bulls-eye eventually. But keep in mind, just like darts, the more you practice everyday the faster you will easily hit your mark.

It's about keeping your eyes open and consistency, not intensity.
