Where Ever You Are

Posted by miked on Aug 4, 2011 in Blog, Personal Development | 0 comments

For nine years I ran the day to day operations of my martial arts school businesses. I taught some classes here and there, I trained instructors and I interacted with students every day. One of my favorite “motivational sayings” to use in the classroom and one I often reminded my staff about was…

“Where Ever You Are…. Be There!”

It’s fun. The instructor shouts to the class… “Where ever you are…” and the students shout back… “Be there!” I still use it to this day with diverse audiences when I speak and they love it!

And now, more than ever, it is so relevant.

There are so many distractions. So much information coming at us. Sometimes it’s really hard to actually… “Be here, be there or just be anywhere.” “Sam I am.”

I won’t get into the specifics but you know what I’m talking about. A guy by the name of Brendon Burchard calls it “being present.” Really being in the moment is what it’s all about.

It doesn’t have to be all about some euphoric state or some belief that “all that matters is the present” either. It’s really about focus. Something all of us need to be reminded of constantly.

Put it on your mental radar.

“Be there” where you are. Be present. Work on giving someone or something your UN-divided attention.”

When you feel yourself drifting… Picture me shouting… “Where ever you are….”

And then you shout back… “Be there!”
