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.

The Real Truth About Fitness with J.J. Flizanes on the Get Better Now show

The show went great! J.J. really knows what she is talking about. And on a personal level she is an amazing and caring person. She is almost a perfect storm of talent, understanding, and empathy and she is unusually suited for what she does.

So... for the low down on what was covered in the show for those of you who have the commitment issues, here we go..

There were several important concepts she covered so that anyone can start and be informed about their fitness process, whether you are a gym rat or just starting.

1. You must have a distinct specific plan.
2. That plan must take into mind your goals, body type, temperament, & ability. And with that in mind it must include resistance training, cardio, diet, a mental program, and rest & recovery built in.
   
3. If you want to improve you must have a way of tracking your progress in real time. She recommends a heart rate monitor. The simpler the better
4. Slow is better that fast when doing resistance exercises. The body will not pull itself into injury but it will jerk itself into injury.
5. If you want to loose weight and keep it off, resistance exercise is necessary.
6. Always train the whole body. Just training specific body parts or movements only creates imbalances, pain, and injury. Look at the body as a whole, not just a means to an end.

There was a lot more, take a listen now, but that is the gist of it. Ideally, this will now give you some idea of where to start. But if you feel like you still now need help J.J. is giving a special offer to only my listeners:

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!
