I Wanna Be Like (Shihan) Harley…

Today I want to brag on my son Harley…

but not because he’s my son, nor even because he’s an amazing martial artist and instructor, a 5th degree Blackbelt that’s been training for 20 years…

What I have most observed about Harley lately, that I think separates him from most people, is how remarkably consistent he is.

He’s a specimen of health and fitness; but he wasn’t always that way.

As a youth, he struggled with weight.

He works out EVERY single day.

He’s a model student, employee, and teacher.

He shows up every day; rather he feels like it or not.

He studies, practices, and sharpens the sword.

Harley is consistent at everything he chooses to do.

I wish I could say that of myself.

I’m better than most, but he’s better than me.

What about you?

The point of this message is, of course, that we can all me more consistent.

I have studied some of the most successful people in every single walk of life- athletically, professionally, financially, in the martial arts, and even as pertains to their personal relationships and other priorities; and here is what I have found:

• they do something every day that moves the needle.
• they do it even when they don’t want to.
• when they get bored, they embrace the boredom- because they know consistency is the key.

I am going to work at being more consistent on the daily things I need to do to move the needle on the things most important in my life.

I’m going to emulate my son better.

Will you join me?

If so, tell us in our official KMMA community.
