We should all do a little more in all we do and do everyday tasks exceptionally well. Excellence should not just apply to our Martial Arts training but everything we do.

Success should be deliberate and not a mistake or something that we stumble upon. If we all do more in all we do and do the best job possible then success will undoubtedly follow. It’s not about perfection as that should be our unattainable goal but more about excellence and that’s doing the best job we can possibly do in all we do.

We are all responsible not only for who we are but for who we could become. Success and failure depends on you, it depends on the choices you make and your attitude.

Don’t stand on the sidelines and watch others succeed but make a difference by joining in. Don’t strive for excellence later or when you think that you might have more time or money, do it some time between yesterday and tomorrow. Apply this to all we do and success has to follow.

Be an example to others and also look for better ways of doing something. If you want to achieve excellence you can do it now. Don’t look for excuses; take responsibility for your own actions. If we are to take credit for our successes then we should also assume responsibility for our failures. If we make excuses enough then they become a habit and then a belief. We should have Self Respect and pride and win the trust and respect of others.

Honesty is a trait that is quickly disappearing in our society. We are often guilty of lying not only to others but often to ourselves. If honesty is to prevail then we need to be vigilant and look to rid the world of dishonesty beginning with ourselves.

If we make mistakes, don’t cover up or look to blame others but take responsibility. If we continue to mask our errors then that mask will become part of us.

We should speak honestly of friends and build them up, not down. Most of us are guilty of having done something that we should not have or more so, in not doing something that we should have. We need to continuously train ourselves, not just physically but mentally too.
