Broken Bones, MMA Fights and Delayed Goals
Posted on April 15th, 2010 7 comments
Broken Bones, MMA Fights and Delayed Goals.This week a client of mine broke his leg and delayed a major goal for his first fight later this month. He was in a MMA conditioning session that I teach 3 times a week.
I’ve been training and teaching Martial Arts for over 12 years now and have seen bruises, sprains and some cracked bones….some were mine. But, this week I witnessed an ugly break of a 26 year old guy’s left ankle.
Think about your left ankle on the outside of the foot where the leg joins the foot…that bone is the fibula and we heard it snap when he hit the floor. He just stepped in a awkward motion and we heard it….SNAP.
The sad thing is he had a fight he was training for and the weigh in was only 3 weeks away. That fight was a goal he has been working toward for a few months. Now that goal is gone. Yes…he will be back and ready to go again after several months of healing and rehab, but the moment he worked for has passed.
Think about some goals that you have been working toward and had a major setback that prevented you from achieving that goal. Did you give-up that goal or did you get back on that horse and learn to master your stick-to-it skills?
Life will beat us up at times and leave us feeling like we may never have a victory. I believe that the more you show the Universe that you are willing to take a stand for your own self, your own way and you plan to have a victory in some form or fashion, the Universe will start to help you out.
Hard work and preparation are a must! But, you also must test yourself by taking the actions needed. Some people will work and prepare to only do nothing because of the fear of not winning.
Set those audacious goals that to most seem out of reach and take action. Because, if you never reach that goal you will still achieve so much more from being in the fight.
Spectators have fun too, but not as much as the ones that are in the mix!
1. Keep training yourself.
2. Fight a good fight.
3. Learn from the people you train with.
4. Life will beat you-up at times
5. Life can be a great coach.
Thanks for your time.

Hi Lynn,
It’s like smile lines on our face make us more beautiful, isn’t it? People and the Universe test us, and yes, break some bones, to vet to see, “Do you really want it little grasshopper?” “Will you withstand the obstacles to be an example and truly help others?” And then, over time, they know, you display diligence for the longhaul. You are worthy. I can trust you. NOW I will bless you with success.
Happy Dating and Relationships,

We can be on the top of the world one day and in the bottom of the sea the next. Its what we do when we hit the botttom. Do we accept it or do we head back to the top. Winners look forward and up.

Lynn,
When the horse throws us, we need to get back on and show the Universe that we ain’t scared. But we also should learn from our mistake and try to avoid being thrown again (at least by the same horse).
Thanks for the insight friend…

I really enjoyed this post. You brought up several good points especially about the Universe helping you once you set a determined course of action.
I recently made a conscious choice to hire a personal mentor for the first time in my life & within 24 hours of making that decision a number of opportunities began presenting themselves in ways that make it hard for me to not consider that the Universe is opening up new doors to me.
Thanks for the post!

That must have been such a let down for him to be training for so long and then be unable to reach his goal. I feel like life is beating me up all the time. I often wonder what it’s like to have it easy!
