A SON'S PLEA One day, a son came to his father for advice: "Dad, I can’t do this anymore. These lessons only exhaust me, and the results don’t change. I must not be destined to play football, and my dreams will never come true." A FATHER'S LOVE... The father looked at his son with loving eyes and said: "You know son, every person in life has a dream, a goal for his life. They are the ones that make us do what we are doing, because it’s what we should do. We have to fight for what we believe in and what we feel. Otherwise, you will simply break. Once and for all." WINNING TAKES EFFORT It's easiest to quit everything and not go until the end, because the path is difficult and we are not used to being inconvenienced. We want everything to be easy and quick. But wishes are fleeting! This is how our dream dies, and how goals becomes unreachable. Gradually, life becomes a routine without depth and meaning. Then one day, we try to forget and start everything from the beginning. We wait for a new day to make our life different. But new obstacles get in our way, and we stop again. We become full of despair and anger at our own helplessness. BE A WARRIOR OF YOUR DREAMS You only need to remember these things: never give up, fight, battle. It doesn’t matter that you have lost one battle, or even dozens of battles. Life goes on! Your biggest enemies are hiding inside you laziness, fear, doubt, indecision. Be a warrior of your dreams, a knight of your goals, and a soldier of your wishes! It's a New Year!

BLACK BELT EXCELLENCE 5 AWESOME WAYS TO HELP DEVELOP A GROWTH MINDSET: 1) Challenge yourself! If you only do things you're comfortable with you'll never really grow.... 2) Ask for help. If you're struggling in an area, sometimes you need someone more skilled to show you the ropes. 3) Keep setting goals! Whenever you achieve a goal, focus on setting another goal. Keep on going. 4) Don't only look for approval. Instead of focusing on what others think, focus on your own learning and growth. 5) Value the process over the end result. It's the journey that matters, not the destination! LET'S KEEP LOOKING FORWARD! * What was your BIGGEST accomplishment in 2020? * What do you want to accomplish in 2021?

BLACK BELT EXCELLENCE - DECEMBER = GROWTH MINDSET A FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPT A GROWTH MINDSET is the foundational concept that grit, perseverance, determination, resilience, and mental toughness are all built upon. Therefore, anyone that has trained with me knows that I spend way more time discussing, honing and focusing on the PROCESS of the goal versus the outcome.... I was told over and over that I was not smart enough, wealthy enough or I was too lazy to be anything and thank goodness I was taught early on in my career that hard work and consistency can make amazing things happen in life. So, life IS what I made it. With determination, NO EFFORT ever goes wasted. Hence, I attribute a growth mindset to all of my success and achievements in life. Do you have any fixed mindset beliefs that you need to dump in the trash TODAY and let go of? Have you become victim of other people's fixed mindsets? Have you given yourself a chance to meet your soul's potential? If so, START NOW and TODAY to believe that if you keep at something long enough, YOU WILL reap the benefits. For that reason, my life is testimony to that, and I’m sure yours is too. TAKE AWAY You are greatness in the making. Keep shining and keep on keeping on!

BLACK BELT EXCELLENCE = GROWTH MINDSET Most people focus on the wrong thing; they focus on the result, not the process. The process is the sacrifice; it's all the hard parts - the sweat, the pain, the tears, the losses. You make the sacrifices anyway. You learn to enjoy them, or at least embrace them. In the end, it is the sacrifices that must fulfill you. - Ronda Rousey... Don't let the current Stay at Home Order be the reason to NOT start Martial Arts Training!

DECEMBER = GROWTH MINDSET This month at Level Up Martial Arts Anatolia and Gold River we are learning all about developing a growth mindset. A growth mindset is believing that you can develop yourself through hard work and determination. This is very powerful as it makes all the other life skills we teach throughout the year even more effective. Having a growth mindset is all about learning ‘the power of YET’. You may think you can’t do something... but when you add ‘YE...T’ to the end of that sentence, your outlook instantly changes. You’ll only ever work towards something once you believe it’s achievable. Failures are just temporary setbacks, they are an opportunity to grow and are an essential part of learning.
