    Robert Hill

    Robert Hill grew up in South Wales, United Kingdom. He had a happy childhood, carefree and safe, a childhood which seems vanishingly rare in today’s world; it was a time when children left the house along with the rest of their siblings early in the morning and were given the instruction ‘don’t come home till teatime’. This allowed him and the rest of the kids in the street the whole world – well, the local world – to be his playground. This is where his stories come from: a keen sense of adventure with an inquisitive mind and a willingness to meet and accept others for all their differences.

      FOREWORD:

      What I tell the parents of my young students is that we are not teaching martial arts. Martial arts is the method, the tool, by which we are teaching success skills for life. Certainly, the students are learning martial arts self-defense techniques, but the true emphasis is on building superb, outstanding citizens equipped with the success skills to become leaders. In their academic studies, they now have the tools to obtain higher grades and they get a shot at being the next magna cum laude. When they apply for a job, they get it over everyone else, and the job position is sometimes as the boss. Or, they actually end up owning a business all on their own. When it comes to their family, they grow up knowing how to show respect for their spouse and children, and they are the leaders of their family; not just filling a position as a husband, wife, brother or sister, aimlessly lost within their role and vulnerable to the whims of the world. They, in essence, and in truth, become more powerful than they could ever have imagined.

      I wrote this book from the perspective of a martial arts instructor, but also as someone who has spent much of his adult life immersed in personal development, motivational education, entrepreneurialism, and personal life experiences. Throughout the years, it has been my experience that the discussions found here have been of tremendous benefit to me personally as well as to the lives of my students. I have taken the approach of breaking down various topics into bite-size pieces better suited for today’s fast pace world. Within you will find groupings of topics, such as how to develop a positive mindset, how to motivate yourself to overcome what might seem impossible goals or obstacles, or how to take your dreams and desires and make them a reality in your life. Some of the discussions are based on personal experience; others are based on the experiences of my students, and also the experiences and events of well-known historical figures who transformed themselves, the people surrounding them, and the world in which we currently live. It is my profound hope and desire that within these pages you find something of value that will serve as tools to help you further transform yourself into a being far greater than you could possibly imagine.

      In each of us is unlimited potential. We only need to understand how to unlock that potential and maximize it toward the fulfillment of our most passionate dreams.

      Robert Hill

      Part One

      Goal Setting

      Turning Dreams Into Goals

      We all have dreams and aspirations. Some of those dreams are modest, and others are very lofty. But dreams remain dreams if we do not put a deadline on their completion. Once we put a deadline on our dreams, they become something altogether different. Our dreams become goals.

      Students of the martial arts are well aware of goal setting. It is built into the curriculum of any martial arts training academy. The beginning and intermediate goals are represented by the color belt system that most modern day schools implement. The ultimate goal in martial arts is a black belt. But even within the setting of a martial arts training regimen, the color belts and the achievement of a black belt are still merely dreams unless the student puts a date on their attainment. Most students will strive to be ready to test at the end of a three month cycle in the typical martial arts school. But this is not always the case, which then leads to a delay in attaining the ultimate goal, thus placing achieving a black belt squarely in the realm of dreams. So, it is imperative that the student stick to the dates set for the next color belt and for the ultimate date for when they will receive their black belt. After all, it is already built in to the school’s training curriculum, so the goal should be achievable if followed up with action by the student.

      By the time I was in my early forties I had already been training in the martial arts for over ten years. I had trained some in Kenpo, TKD, and Muay Thai. I never achieved a black belt in any of those martial arts styles because life always got in the way. At least that was what I kept telling myself. You see, I never set a date on my dream
