Lessons in success consciousness

Ok I’m a big kid, Back again with the latest lessons in success from the world of  Manga. In my opinion, after Dragon Ball Z  Naruto Shepelton is the most inspirational manga cartoon, Jam packed with life lessons.

Naruto Uzumaki always has his eyes on victory and success. For Naruto it’s about becoming powerful and wise enough to become Hokage (leader) to protect his village. No matter what it takes victory is the only truth, this is self determination. We can learn some valuable lessons in success consciousness from our young Ninja Naruto.

When you enter the school of life’s you are required to look to the top and grow from where you stand, you’re a success because you are here right now. You have grown and won many victories. Were you stop growing is up to you?

As a child Naruto looked up and said he will one day lead as Hokage. This was Naruto’s big vision, to protect and gain the respect of the people he loves. Every time Naruto is in a tough spot he looks back at all the battle’s his won and remembers that he always finds a way to win.

Key points:

  • What are you passionate about?
  • What do you love to do?
  • In your passion you can find great energy and drive?

One thing which you should remember is that you have won many battles through out your life; you are already a successful person.

When naruto comes up against an seemingly unbeatable challenges, he always reflects back to his previous victory’s as a source of power. Doing this he sees that it’s not the first time he’s come against a tough challenge and even though the situation is tough, with hard work and focus his Conquered them one by one.

Key points:

  • Counts your victory‘s. You’ve won many battles, List your victory’s, major and minor.
  • Use your past success to fuels further success

Naruto failed at every attempt to pull off the most simple ninja skills, such as the shadow clone technique, but he never gives up trying to learn this simple technique. In time he did learn how to pull off the shadow clone technique and this became one of his most power weapons the multi shadow clone technique.

What can we learn from this?

  • Well in trying to shoot for the moon you may just hit a star
  • With focus and determinations you can turn your weakness into strength

When Naruto says or sets out to accomplish a task, that’s it – it is as good as done, naruto sticks to his word. Naruto lives by what he calls his nindo, his ninja way. Naruto’s nindo is his code” I never give up, I never go back on my word.

Naruto’s nindo or code gives naruto no way out. Because he is committed Naruto believes he has to find a way, what ever it takes and stay true to his word. Naruto commitment to his code gives Naruto the power and creativity to overcome obstacles.

What can you take form this? 

  •    Let your word become manifested.  Honour your word, when you say your going to do something do it.

The rasengan a technique handed down from master to master. When naruto was introduced to this technique he was told that it was technique that has only been mastered by a few masters. Naruto thought to his self, how can he accomplish what only a small number of people have done, this is impossible he thought to himself, then naruto reflected back to his goal to became the leader of the village. In learning the rasengan, he saw his self walking in the foot step’s of the greats. It became a metaphor for his goals to become a Leader.

When working out use your exercise as a metaphor or affirmation. This helps to build the motivation to deal with life’s challenges with a smile (see 50 on the clip)

See yourself  the boss. Naruto is respectful to all people who he meets, but Naruto is his own boss. People respect naruto because he shows respect and honour to all, even people who seem like they are against him. When Naruto had a battle with gura, the sand ninja, Naruto looked past the evil in his enemy eye’s to the see the truth of the situation. Naruto’s so called enemy was actually a victim, they fought but Naruto showed compassion for his enemy and made him a allies and a friend.

What can we take home ?

  • Make more friends then enemy’s
  • Your enemy may turn out to be a misunderstood friend

“When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become…as strong as they can be.”
— Naruto

A Ninja’s job is to see his/her mission through to the end.

You can get your exercise anywhere, like in the park, in your house on road free of charge. Even couch potatoes can upgrade their fitness while they lounge.

With the exception of couch potatoes, desk goblins You’ve been doing your work outs, whether you’ve doing  breathing exercises, working out at home  running, walking,  getting out to the park,  gym, swimming, sometimes the work out can feel routine, boring and at time’s uninspiring.  So what are the options? Have a think about what area’s you would like to improve then get to work on it, for a more general approach – Get creative and intuitive with your existing routine and move yourself to the next level.

Upgrade your body and fitness

Add a new dimension to your routine, for instance when jogging, mix it up a bit by add more variations of movement such as running back wards, shuffle to the side, stop and do push ups, flapping your hand‘s like a bird, holding your arms out like a plane, jumping, exaggerating your running style by picking your legs up higher, switch your running style you can do something to the extreme like run like a women or a man for that matter. You’ll be exercising muscles that you don’t usually use. Your can sing, do affirmations, take a longer or different route, you can give yourself a time goal.

If you’re doing something like Yoga, Gi Gong, Thi Chi – you can break from your routine and flow with your intuition allowing the poses, move’s and forms to emerge, if you’re having sex try doing it standing up holding her with her leg’s straddling you your hands on her bum holding her up it’s a great workout really gets the heart racing (disclaimer author has on legal responsible for any injury’s or pregnancy that may result form this information:0

Getting it at the Gym

The copy cat method. In the gym watch out for people using gym equipment in creative or useful ways. Watch people, talk to people, find someone to emulate. If you can’t find anyone to emulate you’re going to have to make your imagination run wild just be safe.

Up grade for couch potatoes

When chilling out watching TV pretend you’re riding a bicycle. Basically sit back and paddle like your riding a bicycle set yourself some time goals, paddling for 10 sec or more or as much as you want to do.

Another good exercise is the get up sit down . How do you do it – get up sit down and repeat. Set your self a goal maybe 3 reps of ten get ups and sit downs. Make this a daily routine at your couch or desk and upgrade as you wish. I promise you, you’ll have the body that you always wanted in no time at all (disclaimer the author is not legally responsible for reader progress)

My upgrade

Recently- I had a major fitness up grade. basically my daily exercise  routine varies throughout the year, at the core is Qi Gong and Yoga, over the last couple months gymnastic bar work and push ups have been a my focus. My intention to increase my physical strength and get swollen like Tookie Williams. Anyway I up graded my virtually static Qi Gong and Yoga exercise to more a of a martial art/thi chi exercise.

Material art upgrade for beginner Bruce Lee style

How do you do it, simple pretends your Bruce lee and gets kicking. Be Bruce Lee whilst out for a run or walk. You’ve seen the movie’s be a actor in you own film.

What does it look like?

  • Well its rather straight forward
  • Kick’s, Round house kick’s
  • side kick’s
  • Forward kicks
  • Back kick’s
  • SweepsPunches
  • Just get kicking

How did I integrate Kung fu kicks into my routine, instead of Running around the foot ball pitch, I did two Bruce lee laps around the boarder line foot ball pitch, using the side lines as a guide to aline my kicks. I also added some punch in to the mix. I completed the work out with Qi Gong, and breathing exercise.

(Workout) Get it at home super style

Its been three days since I had my fitness up grade I feel great and my bodies feels strong and responsive. Today I was doing what we call in our house Super tidy upper. Super tidy upper is the kind of tiding up you’ll do if you were selling your house and you had half an hour to clean up before a potential buyer arrives to view your home. Basically super tidy upper is running around the house cleaning up at super speed, as fast as you can safely move.

Super tiddy upper Another vision of the super tidy upper is to integrate working out into your house work. I use arm weights and leg weights, while for instance doing the vacuuming, dusting, mopping etc during the clean up operation.

Weights are not needed. You don’t have to use weights you can set a goal to do 3 reps of 10 push ups, jumps or kicks in half an hour or whatever time you give yourself to tidy up. Do them in between cleaning up.

Add some energy into you tidding up mix

Jumps, punches, Singing and dancing, I guess singing and dance is the most common form of exercise during house workWh-p;l. ilst putting things away you can integrate following movements into the process, while for instance putting things away or moving thing around.

  • Qi gong moves
  • Yoga poses
  • Thi chi moves
  • The kitchenWhen you’re tiding up the kitchen fit in some stretches and breathing exercises.
  • Stretching arms and legs

With a bit of car, balance and coordination you can try out some leg and arm stretches on the kitchen work surface, just be safe.You can get your exercise any were free of charge, just be creative and safe ~
