Let me offer a more permanent solution to all the things you’re about to do and fail at.

Don’t diet to look good. Eat to care for your body, the animals and the environment.

Don’t punish your body at the gym out of vanity or to please others. Train in a method that heals your body and nourishes your emotions, mind and spirit changing you for the better permanently.

Don’t see your club or work as a ‘business’ to make money. See it as value and support for your community enriching your local environment and genuinely helping colleagues and students to find their own internal locus of power to be able to deal with life in a more fruitful way.

Don’t teach people to fight. Teach them to reinstate peace in a violent situation. That teaches them to react intelligently and prevents them from being put in prison for over reacting and changes their nature to make them more natural and peaceful.

Don’t chase happiness. If you do it’s impossible to be happy. Life has its ups and downs, accept that and find peace. It’s a far deeper form of happiness.

Don’t swallow the BS you’re being spoon fed by those with their hand in your pocket. Learn how to change and educate yourself, finding your own internal locus of power. Learning the language of and listening to your own body, instincts and energy.
