Control the Head and the Body Will Follow

               I once heard a martial arts instructor say if you control the head the body will follow. This was in reference to defending one's self against an attacker of course. But how funny is it that we can easily apply this to our everyday lives.

               "Control the head" Probably the most crucial element to accomplishing anything, big or small, is having your mind set on achieving your goal. Not just a casual, "ya that would be cool to do someday...maybe...sorta", but a definitive resolution that you are going to do this thing no matter what. Once you have that resolution you have control of the head.

               "The body will follow" A lot of the times kicking and screaming but yes, the body will follow. Your body is an amazing, living mechanism. It's capable of so much more that you believe possible and yet most of the time it's held back from doing great things by your mind. Let it go, let it do what it does so amazingly well, let it see you to your goals. Nourish it, work it, respect it and it will take you on the grandest of adventures.

               So ya, I guess it's true. Control the head, and the body will follow
