FIND YOUR SWING.

You have to find your swing. Children do it every day. They know what park has their

favorite swing. My kid does it for at least 1 1/2 hrs a day! Our society moves too fast. I

recently took a HUGE step into the unknown. I found  out 1 thing as a race.  We have lost

our swing. We need to get it back. My youngest and I watch Elliot Hulse’s videos

sometimes. Her favorite is when Elliot talks about “Bio-energetic Release” or basically as

we know it, the “silly dance”.  I think both of us know the crazy man we call “Elliot” has

never gotten off of his swing. He knows what he loves and he loves what he does! Keep

your life as simple as possible. You have to find a good swing

and share it with your family.

P.s. this is not a pic of me, but a pic of my youngest practicing body weight dips. This her playground, and that is her swing. I’m just watching her swing. Swing on, people.

When is the right time?

Well, that is a good question. You could wait for the time to pass, then look back on it, ya know, do a little research. But if that was the right time, it’s already gone. Some people think that it’s waaaay too early to start something or the time is long gone and there is opportunity left. THE TIME IS NOW. For some people, waiting for the “Right” time means less time available for whatever it is you are planning to do and you could find yourself stressing out over the amount of time left! Others want to wait because they feel that they are not good enough yet, smart enough yet, experienced enough yet. Guess what,…. you are good enough, smart enough, experienced enough because you are constantly learning, listening, talking, doing. The best started somewhere, that somewhere is the beginning. What are you waiting for? The fact is that you have already started taking steps that you didn’t even know about! Ask for people’s advise. Their wants and needs.Their opinions. Ask how to get better, what books to read, who to talk with. But please, PLEASE, don’t ask about how much money you’ll make. IT DOES NOT MATTER AND IT CAN CLOUD YOUR VISION OF WHAT YOU ARE EXCITED TO START! Deal with the passion and NOT the paycheck. Things fall into place when they are supposed to.    Final note: When you start something and have a clear goal of exactly where you want it to go, don’t be surprised if it takes you down a different road. I’m not saying let go of the wheel, but don’t hold on so tight! Let the wheel shift in your grip a little bit. And remember, if you DO find yourself in an accident, you can always buy another car and learn a little bit better for next time !!

Fireforged Project #2. Stay functional!!

Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Best exercise for getting BIG !!

1. Walk into your local gym(which most have a membership).

2. Don’t warm up( or get comfortable in your own body).

3. Pick up the biggest weight.

4. Fail miserably in form, energy, process, visualization, and (most horribly)acceptance to failure……. then what?

NOW 5.             Go back to the front door and hand the “Smoothie bar clerk” your ego, your balls(AND ANOTHER $40 to get back in that shit hole). Go back in and at LEAST try to warm up.

6. Pick up a light weight and do ANY COMPOUND MOVEMENT with your feet on the ground.(closed kinetic).

7. Repeat until true and complete form, comfort and enjoyment ,from head to toe, in the movement.

Congrats! You have just achieved how your body likes to work!

Who shall rule your Destiny, if you still think you have one?

I’ve been too tired, run down, fed up, pissed off and silenced for too long. I’ve been told to calm down, keep quiet, just do my work, pay my bills, don’t question anything and settle for what I have.   F#@K THAT. I WILL NEVER SETTLE.    I WANT TO CREATE A MOVEMENT. I WILL CREATE A MOVEMENT AND I WANT TO LEAD THE ONES WHO WILL FOLLOW!!  The world we live in can take your time, your money, your happiness, your creativity, your thoughts, your words and your destiny.   DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!! Stand up, speak out, let people know what you think, criticize creatively, take a step forward, take the blows, take charge, take responsibility and take action. Never stop pushing forward. Remove the word “Can’t” from your vocabulary and replace it with “Must”. People ask, “where will you start?”. It started the day I was born! I’ve just been dumbed down long enough to be silenced. I now am taking action towards anything I can do to strengthen myself, teach myself and improve myself. I want to do the same for you. I will lead if you will follow.  If you like this idea, please leave a comment and a suggestion on what I can do to improve this blog and our world. Criticize me, I don’t mind. Tell me what I’m NOT doing right, I want to know. Let’s get the ball rolling people, this is OUR world, let’s make it revolve!

LEARN.   TEACH. EVOLVE.
