Warrior Mindset

Have you ever caught yourself checking emails while on vacation, or find it difficult to truly unplug and enjoy downtime? You're not alone. America's hustle culture has us collectively wrapped around the notion that work should always come first, often at the expense of our health and well-being. In our latest episode, we peel back the layers of this phenomenon, revealing how our national reluctance to take time off not only underscores our values but also impacts our quality of life. Together, we question the undercurrent of fear that keeps us tethered to our desks and share personal tales that highlight the importance of setting boundaries for a healthier work-life integration.

The conversation deepens as we scrutinize the generational shift in work values, especially as it pertains to Gen Z's approach to work and leisure. We challenge the negative stereotypes, celebrating instead their prioritization of time and mental health. But it's not just about generations; it's about a collective realization. I recount a friend’s story of woodworking purely for the joy of it, untouched by the itch to monetize, prompting us to think about how we can all protect our personal sanctuaries from the pressure to hustle. This episode isn't just an exploration; it's a call to rediscover the joy in hobbies that don't come with a price tag and the balance that leads to a more fulfilling existence.

To cap off our journey, we tackle the often-misunderstood concept of productivity, emphasizing that efficiency in work should serve to increase our leisure and not the other way around. We share uplifting anecdotes about individuals who've successfully crafted lives that prioritize passions and family over work without sacrificing professional success. Wrapping things up, we laugh over the irony of how setting firm boundaries can sometimes be the key to success, both personally and professionally. So, join us for an engaging discussion that's all about redefining success, embracing rest, and the courage it takes to say "no" in a world that constantly demands "yes.

Have you ever been gripped by a story so powerful it made you question the limits of your own endurance? Let's embark on a captivating journey through the life of Hugh Glass, a man whose saga redefines the warrior mindset. With a history as rich and wild as the frontiers he roamed, Glass's epic battle for survival after a brutal grizzly bear attack has etched his name in the annals of American folklore. Let's unravel the threads of Glass's past—from his unexpected stint as a pirate to his deep bonds with the Pawnee tribe—and extract the unyielding spirit that propelled him beyond the imaginable.

I don't want this to be a recount of history; it's a reflection on the human condition and our boundless capacity for overcoming adversity. As we navigate the rugged terrain of Glass's recovery, we draw parallels between his relentless pursuit of life and the modern battles we face in our personal and professional landscapes. What can the ferocity of a man who refused to succumb teach us about fortitude in the face of our own "sub-zero conditions"? Let's find out together, and perhaps in the process, redefine the true essence of a warrior mindset.

My Sensei posted this in an online training group he manages for his school - you may nor may not see his post, but I wanted to re-post it here because I think it is POWERFUL on so many levels:

Wednesday Wisdom:

A photo of a man I deeply admire, James Woodley as he laid new mats on the ground during his rank test a couple years ago. James is a student of one of my students, Sensei Gene Crawford.This memory made me think of this post from Mr. Jadi Tention from a few years ago:

“Do you know how to be a student, or are you the type who, when learning a new move, immediately asks, "What if he/she does this or that?" Do you talk while the instructors are teaching? Are you the type who, when learning a move, wants to go fast right away without focusing on the details? Are you the type who, during a drill, has to win at all costs? Are you the type who, when the instructor shows you a move, says to your partner, "This is how I do it"? Or are you the type who won't come to class if your favorite teacher is not there? Are you the type who, when injured, won't come to class even to observe and learn visually? Are you the type who always wants to spar aggressively? Are you the type who trains but never makes an effort to help clean the dojo? Are you the type who wants to wear everyone else's logo or brand in the dojo instead of your own school logo? Are you the type who questions the instructor's promotions and their reasons? Are you the type who picks on lower-ranked students without offering advice? Or do you truly understand how to be a student?”As it should be. Think about it…"
