Functional Fitness

Image
On My Death Bed I want to say, “I am glad I did, not that I wished I had!” What is functional fitness.  It is fitness for Life! Fitness for movement.  Being functionally fit means you have the strength and flexibility required to live  life at its fullest potential.   To have work capacity, endurance and strength. Flow if you will though all aspects of your life.    You must be ready for what ever life is going to through at you!  It is having a balance between strength, work capacity, endurance, flexibility and mental toughness.  You need to train in all of these areas. When you are functionally fit you are ready to take on anything.  You want to go for a run, a hike, a mountain bike ride,  surfing, SCUBA diving, a big back packing trip or life calls upon you to get to work.   When I get the call the Surf is Up or the Storms are Dumping Powder, I want to be physically ready, no hesitation.  Getting it done...

Accountability Mirror

Image
The Accountability Mirror.  What is it?  Goggins describes it like this:  You get up go to the mirror.  Who is looking back?   Are you seeing the person you expected?  Can you see your future Kick Ass self somewhere in the mirror?  Ask yourself "What is it going to take to get there?  What do you have to do".  Are you willing to do what it takes?  Are you willing to SUFFER?  Are you willing to get after it?  Are your willing to sacrifice? Who are You?  Are you seeing the person reflect back at you the person you think you are?  Or do you have work to do.  Are you Accountable?  Is what you do in private reflecting what you do and how you act in public? This is the starting line to your future!  Now is the time!  No longer are you looking at the wake of your life!  But setting the course from the front!  You see your future! It is Awesome! Now is the time!  The time to...

Defining World Class

Image
What does it mean to be world class.  I was having this discussion with a colleague at work after reading Robin Sharma's work. World-class embodies inner mastery and outward excellence.  World Class radiates  positive energy ,  calm , and   confidence , moving through life with a deep sense of  purpose  and  presence . Their self-awareness fuels  their actions aligning  with a clear, authentic   "why".  World Class are the" 1% of the 1% . They do not dwell in anger.  Their position is No Worries !  World Class cultivates a mindset of resilience, gratitude, and growth.  They meet   fear with courage.  Feeding the courage Wolf and starving the the Fear Wolf.  They seek out the hard and difficult.  World Class is  of the mindset of viewing every obstacle as a chance to evolve.   The harder the better.  Adversity = Opportunity  to achieve Greatnes...

The Coin

Image
  For Christmas in 2023 I gave a Decision coin to those I care deeply about.  I continue to give the coins and over the past year I have given out over 100.   What is a Decision coin you may ask? It is a coin used to make decisions of course.  When you find yourself in a position you need to make a choice between 2 things.  Assign one choice Heads and one Tails.  Flip the coin.  Where it lands is the one you go with it.   Do not look back! This started for me when I was on a trip the to the Big Island with close friends and my son Scott.  We found ourselves multiple times trying to make a choice on what to do, where to go or what to eat.  He would pull out this coin and say Head or Tails!  Flip it.  Off we could go! Scott would later explain he got the idea from a book about a gentleman that use he would use a set of Decision Dice or coin to make all of his life decisions.  The book was the story of his life and ...

Find Peace Under The Wave

Image
"The wise person not choosing to jump into floodwaters, but when surrounded by them, accepting struggle, endure by choosing peace over war".   Seneca, Moral Letters, 28.7 This is surfing.  Actually this is Life!  Paddling into big waves. Just relax, go with the flow of the ocean, duck dive under the wave avoiding the full power and negative forces.  By changing your perception of your position, you avoid the trauma of the negative energy crashing down on you.  You save yourself from the pain of being rolled.  Avoiding the possibility finding yourself  pinned to the bottom of the ocean.   Duck diving, you find yourself at peace under the wave surrounded by the peaceful silence of submersion. The wave passes over head.  You arise to keep moving forward without loss of position.  You can do this in life.  When you identify the waves (drama)  of life are about to crash down on you, take a breath.  Duck dive.  Arise....

Facing Fear. Does your water run deep?

Image
The Redirection of Fear  "Still water runs deep" Mark Divine   Because of the COVID-19 (CV19) pandemic we have all been under significant stress and fear of the unknown.  As the issues have become more of a reality, it has been interesting how each of us as individuals have handled it.  From complete disregard to total panic, to hoarding behaviors.  Some run and hide.  Others hit it head on looking for solutions. No fear!  I got this!  What is the defining difference of management of fear? There are two motivating human emotions:  Fear and Love.  If you can  understand  fear and love, you  can  predict behavior.  Fear eventually burns out. One gives up, gives in and quits.  True unattached unconditional Love never burns out.  As a tidal wave moves through the oceans deeper waters the surface is rarely disturbed.  As the wave gets closer to the shallow, the bigger the dis...
