8 D’s of DisciplineAs a student of the martial arts, I learned early on that...

Decision- To make the right choice. -Life is about choices!Dissolve- All negative thoughts within. -Negativity weighs you down!Diffuse- Situations rather then offending others. -Don’t be defensive!Discipline- Staying focused on your goals. -Keep the company of like-minded people!Determination- To overcome all obstacles in life. –Determination can be your foundation!Dedication- To becoming a positive person. -Influence others with your positive attitude and actions!Devote- Time each day to stay mentally, physically, and spiritually balanced. Balance = longevity!Defeat- Is not a choice in life. Persevere on your life’s path!
