Stress, Struggle & Sacrifice!

Stress, Struggle & Sacrifice!

How's your 2016 going so far? 
We're getting towards the end of January and I wanted to share some thoughts with you.
Are you on track with your goals that you have set. Are you on track to create a lifestyle that you TRULY desire? Or are you settling for less than you DESERVE.
For me, it's been one of the best start to a new year for awhile. I have set a roadmap for my goals this year and I am staying laser focus on reaching each and everyone of them. Today was a great day to end my month. Seeing the Tran's Tribe (students, families, and their friends) come out to the Private Screening of Kung Fu Panda 3 was amazing. We had the whole theatre to ourselves and we filled up both rooms. Just seeing everyone enjoying

themselves with family and friends makes me HAPPY. It's the simple things like these that makes me feel so blessed that I truly found my calling in life and that I love what I do and do what I love.
If you have been reading my weekly message long enough, you would know that I have had a lot of stress, struggle & sacrifice in that past 3 years. I had to work so hard to get out of the mess that I was in. Lots of PAIN but it was the perfect STROM that I needed. I am thankful for the struggles that I had to go through. They made me stronger. Don't let them break you. Let them make you.
There are no short cuts, no get rich schemes and no easy way out of it...you want to be great at something and that means mastering yourself.
How many hours are you prepared to put in each day to develop your skills? How committed are you to becoming the very best that you can be.
I normally wake up at 5:30 AM to begin my 'quite time.' It's my favorite time of the day. But this year I decided to join the 5 AM club. I now wake up at 5 and run. Yes, RUN! The first few days was very hard to get out of bed and think of running. I wanted to stay in bed so bad but I know that I would regret it later and I hate to live with that. 
But now it is getting a little bit easier each time. I look forward to my quiet time right after my run. A half hour might not seem much but it has made a huge difference in my day. This is just one of the many updates that I have for myself this year.
When you start to live a life that is completely aligned with your highest calling, greatest vision and deepest values you become the type of person that appreciates your own existence and being.
One of the best thing I ever did in my own life is to stop trying to live the life that the world expected of me to live and just started creating a life that simply gives me a deep since of PEACE.
You have got to stop with all the BS. No, not what you are thinking. I'm talking about your 'belief system.' The stinkin' thinkin' that is hold you back from your true potential.
At the end of the day when the light goes out that's when you face your reality and you can put on whatever act you want when the lights are on but when the lights goes out it's you that has to face your deepest emotions and if you're not happy of the life you are living then you're going down a road that ends in depression and unhappiness. 
Stop getting distracted by the things that have nothing to do with your goals. When you wake up on Monday, will you start the day with the intentions to work hard and become someone great, or will you dread having to get up and complain that it's Monday?
One of the most important factors on the road to success is the ability to stay focused on the bigger picture, despite the bumps and obstacles that will inevitably hit you. When you feel like giving up, stay positive. When you feel like you're killing it, and you're at the top of your game, stay humble. Rain or shine, day or night, weekend or weekday, good or bad, no matter what the day presents, you have to keep your eyes on the prize.

My family has been part of the Tran's family since both my sons started taking classes there back in 2009. My youngest son was 6 then, and my oldest was 12. Now, 6 years later, my youngest son is still a proud member of the Tran's family. He earned his 1st degree Black Belt in Muay Thai a year ago, and is working his way towards his 2nd degree Black Belt right now. He also volunteers at Trans as a Junior Instructor working with the very youngest members there. When we began, he was a super energetic, overly confident, assertive and often aggressive child. Through the positive instruction he received from Master Tran and EVERY OTHER instructor that is now at Trans, or has ever been at Trans, he has evolved into a still energetic, still confident, but now controlled young man. He has learned the right way to use his energy, and how to be a role model. He is strongly committed to the ethics of Martial Arts, which include high grades and personal integrity. The environment at Trans is supportive yet demanding. He knows that he is expected to do his best in every aspect of his life, and that comes directly from this time at Trans. As I mom, I would say the best decision I ever made for my son was fitting Trans into his life. It wasn't always easy, and at times it was downright hard, but I have never done anything more important than encourage his time at Trans. In spite of the few, clearly fraudulent remarks below from some guy that kept changing his name to try to fool us, Trans is a place of integrity and family. Do yourself a favor, come check it out. Any day of the week you will find a team of people working together to encourage personal growth, fitness, and a team environment. You won't find anyplace better.

Professional, clean and organized! Trans has been life changing for our daughter during the past 2 years as a student of Mr. Tran's Muay Thai classes. Mr. Tran's approach to self discipline has helped with following rules at home and in the classroom. We love the "message of the month" to show the students that martial arts is more than just self defense - it's more about respect and good judgment. Our family would highly recommend Tran's. Thank you Mr. Tran for all you do! Joe, Laura and Mae Hickey

I have been taking kickboxing classes at Trans for the past couple months. One of my favorite things about the program is how Master Tran mixes up the workout each week. Every class is different, with a variety of warm-up exercises and different muscles worked, and it keeps class fun and interesting. The kickboxing class is a great workout for all abilities, as Master Tran is very encouraging but never pressures anyone to do more than they physically can. However, expect to leave tired! I have kickboxed at a couple other studios in Northern Colorado in the past, and this has been my favorite experience. I would definitely recommend it!
