That's it for me as well... but the journey for me is in part, the problem solving itself. <br /><br />Figuring out how stuff works and understanding it from the inside out. Disproving pretension and mystiqe. There is nothing new under the sun. And, magic is just what we call something we haven't attempted to understand ourselves. So, its not having to know the answers themselves. Its the process of learning and fitting that new knowledge into what I know already that I get hooked on. Identifying common denominators with what you already have conviction of makes everything new so much easier to comprehend. <br /><br />Can't not comment on mental toughness. Mindset is such a cool subject. Nature or nuture... its got to be a combination. Unwavering commitment to the purpose in the moment. Refusal to be denied. That's a nice definition of "fighting." It comes form somewhere, but still working on understanding that one myself. When you get right down to it, people are pretty complicated and weird progressions. <br /><br />And, my own guess is that even a very long lifetime is maybe not at all long enough to be totally in controll of that progression. Even under the best of circumsances, each day is but a fleeting chance to outrun yesterday's programming. Thus, action with purpose in any given moment becomes the most we can do, cutting the path. I suppose that is much of what is meant by following your Way.<br /><br />-Billy G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-58691085446334974982011-07-29T09:19:54.988-07:002011-07-29T09:19:54.988-07:00Well written.

I've been training in Martial Arts for thirty years, but having had guns pressed to my head along with growing up in inner city Philly provided a bit of clarity.

One word, Ferocity, explains so much to ...Epiphany! One word, Ferocity, explains so much to me. Whether its controlled or un-controlled isn't the point so much, it's just its presence in the fight. One stupid act put me into the California Youth Corrections System back in the 70's. Between running and fighting, I wound up in Youth Authority first at F.C. Nellis, then Paso Roblas, finally YTS. As the skinny white kid, I was always a target. The one thing that saved me (earned respect) more often than not was that I could go to a place in a fight that most didn't. When I went there, it was very ugly and violent. Interestingly though, when I didn't (or couldn't), I usually got my ass kicked. Even today, after over 30 years in the martial arts, I know the beast is still in me. My question, do you believe one is born with the capability of ferocity or can it be taught or developed? Years ago while going through Navy EOD, our dive class started out with 27 students. At the end of the 5th week officially known as Problem Solving, but to the students it was Hell Week, we were down to 16. There, graduating was attributed to Mental Toughness. Do you believe MT is a component of Ferocity, vice versa, or two separate attributes? <br />I don't know about you Rory, but to me, this is fun stuff!kenpokiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00231052542247909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-87058396784619097232011-07-29T07:09:08.991-07:002011-07-29T07:09:08.991-07:00Cool stuff.

I've come to the realization that I'm never going to get to the 'destination' so I might as well enjoy the scenery.<br /><br />I like revisit what I've written and read because they are a marker on the path and give context to where I'm at.

Naturally being a critical thinker has its downside. <br /><br />These posts and commens are fantastic appetizers. Words, even difficult to assemble and organize at times, tend to be limited to the precurser. Point of action is where learning happens. So, when talking in abstract starts to make sense you have maybe walked out too far and need to get back to what is real.<br /><br />In the end everything said and written is a recording, and by definition is out of context upon receipt. That's where the work starts if your paying attention andhave the energy.<br /><br />-Billy G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-25447677543926228742011-07-28T20:06:03.785-07:002011-07-28T20:06:03.785-07:00Rory I would like to do a call back to the guest p...Rory I would like to do a call back to the guest post by Billy G from back in November 2010.

I hope I don't intimidate or make others feel like they can't comment themselves. <br /><br />For me what you put out makes sense, and for me that's my defining criteria of weather to listen or believe what someone puts out there. Because, for me, I understand it's my responsibility to fit things into my world view, or decide if my world view still holds true. <br /><br />If something doesn't make sense to me I have two questions I ask myself. One, am I missing something, or two, is it they really don't know what they're talking about. But that's on me to answer those question, and figure out what works for me.<br /><br />I got to, we all need to, do the math ourselves. <br /><br />JoshJosh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-75877214471279776412011-07-27T21:45:43.665-07:002011-07-27T21:45:43.665-07:00Dude, and that in a nut shell is why I train marti...Dude, and that in a nut shell is why I train martial arts. <br />The ability to recognize the game being played, and the ability to change the game to produce a positive, novel, or inspiring outcome is what ties conceptual art, performance anthropology, horror movies, history, and martial arts together.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771944484286659825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-53686142333434096052011-07-27T21:38:58.004-07:002011-07-27T21:38:58.004-07:00Thanks Rory.
