About the Author:
Master Instructor Alan Venable Every day and every moment is a blessing in disguise, a reason to refine yourself, to get closer to your own enlightenment. Remember that "thoughts become things." Reality is your playground, your thoughts are the slides, swings, and monkey bars with which you can dream and achieve anything you desire. This moment is all you really have, so enjoy it. Have fun. Dwelling in the past or worrying about the future takes you away from enjoying this moment. It is the past that lead you to this moment, and the future is decided by what you do this moment, so if you have one foot in the past and one foot in the future, the only thing you can do is piss in the present. Enjoy today. Make today the best day of your life! I am the Head Instructor for United Martial Arts under the tutelage of Master Michael Leone, Master Chris Dining, and Master Jason Campbell.
