Endings and Beginnings

Once again Christmas is nearly upon us and I do love this time of year. For me it symbolises birth with the birth of Jesus and therefore new beginnings. Whats done is done there is nothing we can do about the past except maybe learn from it. The future to a large extent will be determined by what decisions we make in this present moment. The past can often cause us to feel guilty or ashamed where as the future can cause us to feel fear but in the present moment or in other words the here and now we are usually just fine.
As the year comes to an end I often find myself reflecting on how fast my life seems to be going by. I am 48 years old now, I don't feel it, its not until I look in the mirror that the realisation of my age hits me, the grey hair is a bit of a give away!
How ever I must say life is good, the real combat system is going from strength to strentgh and is taking the world of self defence or self protection by storm. How many systems have John Awesome Anderson as a black belt? We run master classes that change life's and gradings as well as fantastic work shops.
Matty Evans and myself realised very early on that people really want to feel confident in every day life. Studying the arts or self defence is one way of working towards that state of confidence.
We live in a world where depression, sadness, guilt, anger seem to be the norm. All of these things or feelings are natural but they can be changed and they don't have to be the norm.
We aim to help people to change their perceptions which in turn will change the way that they feel about themselves.
We certainly can change our lives but to do so we must go inside, journey to our core and this can be painful. We must unravel old scripts, negative scripts and replace them.
After all if we accept that we have scripts (which we all do) then how did these scripts get there? Who put them there? The exciting thing is, if we have old scripts then surly by taking the same action in reverse we can create new scripts.
So why not start now and write some new scripts for 2011, go on!! you can do it!!
Have a great Christmas and thank you all for your support in 2010
God Bless
Warm Regards
