 Subscribe  The Next Step Finally, we get to the next step. So, let me ask you again: what is the next step in your life? “If today were one of those days, if today you could take a step forward to transform your life as a martial artist or just as a human being (turn it around completely or as far as you want), what would that next step be?” Is it to work less, spend more time with family and friends, retire, travel more, do what you have always wanted to do, improve your health, exercise more, rest more, become better…, etc.? Any of these steps are fine and can make a small or big difference in your life; but to me, for your life from the existential standpoint, it is not enough. These steps may improve your life in certain aspects of it, but they will not transform your life and, definitely, they do not lead you to become the best version of yourself. If you really look back, most of us have spent most of our lives on trivial activities like gathering knowledge, wealth, beau

 Subscribe  Animals vs Humans Now that we understand better what this document is all about, it is time for us to dive in much deeper into the body of this discussion. In order to do so, we need to look at: why are we able to do this? why can we make these life changing decisions? and why do we have endless possibilities and potential? To answer these questions, we need to look at where we are and where we stand as human beings from the standpoint of evolution. We are going to do so by comparing other species to ours, by comparing the animal species to the human species just for the simple fact that they are the closest species to ours. So, let’s start by asking a couple of questions: what is the difference between animals and humans? Are we really different? Answering these questions will help us understand our position on this creation at this time and where those possibilities and potential that I have been talking about come from. There are a lot of similarities and differe

 Subscribe  Every single day we are confronted with making decisions about things like our health, finances, family, work, relationships, etc. that might make small changes in our lives; but only a handful of times in our lifetime, are we confronted with having to make big, life changing decisions. If today were one of those days, if today you could take a step forward to transform your life as a martial artist or just as a human being (turn it around completely or as far as you want), what would that next step be? This document will address this and many other questions that can help you start the path to change or, even better, transform your life. Wouldn’t you want that next step forward to be towards finding your full potential? Diving Deeper Let’s start this discussion by diving deeper into the introductory paragraph and by taking a look at our lives up to this point, up to now, regardless of age. The introductory paragraph says: “Every single day we are confronted with ma

 Suscribir  El Siguiente Paso Finalmente, llegamos al siguiente paso. Entonces, déjenme preguntarles de nuevo: ¿cuál es el siguiente paso en su vida? “Si hoy fuera uno de esos días, si hoy pudieras dar un paso adelante para transformar tu vida como artista marcial o simplemente como ser humano (cambiar tu vida por completo o hasta donde quieras), ¿cuál sería ese siguiente paso?” ¿Es trabajar menos, pasar más tiempo con la familia y los amigos, jubilarse, viajar más, hacer lo que siempre has querido hacer, mejorar tu salud, hacer más ejercicio, descansar más, ser mejor…, etc.? Cualquiera de estos pasos está bien y puede hacer una pequeña o gran diferencia en su vida; pero para mí, para su vida desde el punto de vista existencial, no es suficiente. Estos pasos pueden mejorar su vida en ciertos aspectos de la misma, pero no transformarán su vida y, definitivamente, no lo llevarán a convertirse en la mejor versión de Ud. mismo. Si realmente mira hacia atrás, la mayoría de nosotros
