Black Belt Champions and High Level Achievers would never become great without the benefit of resistance. No one who has ever achieved anything of great value has done so without the benefit of resistance.

Motivational Speaker and Best Selling Author, Zig Ziglar, teaches we should always be grateful for our problems.

The reality is, the challenges we face everyday, really do make us stronger. If everything in life came easy, everyone would be an instant Black Belt.

In the real world, the people that solve the most complex problems, are worth the most value in society. In the Martial Arts, in school, at work, in business, we usually learn the most from the setbacks and challenges that we overcome.

The athlete that takes the easy route, partying all night and skipping practices, is not likely to be stepping onto the winner’s podium. It’s the Champion that puts in hours of disciplined practice that wins Gold Medals.

Pressure Creates Diamonds….

Do you know what happens to an astronauts musculoskeletal system in outer space? Without the pressure of gravity, their muscles and bones become weaker!

I know that when we have a long weekend like this past one, I look forward to some needed rest. But after that first day of relaxation, I start LOOKING for work to do. I simply can’t sit still. Without work to do I get bored.

Some people think that a life of leisure would be great. To me, a life with no pressure sounds like torture.

The truth is that while we sometimes wish things could be easier, we wouldn’t be happy if they were. Because it’s by facing the difficulties in our lives that we can become the best we can be.

We all need resistance to become stronger.
