Hi Craig, great to see you trying something new. I thought about doing something like BJJ to help with my flexibilty (lack of) and grappling tactics/techniques within my job. How are you finding it….?

I’m baaaack!! This is a perfect example of getting ego out of the way and breaking out of the comfort zone. As you say, this is when we learn,change, adapt,and grow.

Dude, Suza’s comments bring a whole new meaning to Mr. Myaggi’s famous words-”wax on, wax off!” You could be known as the”Waxing Ninja” or as a reference to one of your previous jobs, the “Bouncing Ninja.” But after reading “Dear You,” I think from now on, grasshopper, you should be known as the “Ego Warrior.” Great couple of posts!

ROFL – Agree in part .. three types of people those that just dont want to change – do fine have your life, those that say they want this and arent prepared to work for it, those that change, and then those that do do everything within their power to change action and all and dont have the abilities.. maybe they are dilussional about their capabilties who knows.. personally if I had my life over I wish I could be no 1 not trying and not changing.

That image is just too funny Craig and the posts in here hysterical.

Reminds me of my recent discovery at the gym, the boxing bag (not sure if that is what it is called, the bag hanging from a board). Since I am limited with lower body weights at the moment due to an injury and trying to not to get discouraged I decided to give it a go after getting excited seeing some hot young guys giving it a pummelling. Well after waiting for the room to be empty I snuck in and started boxing at it. Boy it is so much fun except for when you whack the board above. Not so coordinated with my left hand. The next day I felt muscles I had never used before.

The lesson I have learnt is ‘never give up’. Keep finding ways to get what you want.

Please no Personal Development Fairy, I think you would scare people Craig if you turned up in a tutu.

P.S. How do I get smilies in my posts. They don’t come up in the little box where I type?
