Be Courageous

Scott Sonnon is a world class martial artist and physical fitness expert.  He has been involved in creating some very cutting edge workout routines that combine body weight strength training, flexitilbity and cardio.

He also has a very fine philosophy about training and living life to your highest potential.

Here is a quote that I recently read from him that I love!

Scott Sonnon    

 "First, they pay no attention to you or your idea. Then, they scoff and dismiss it as nonsense. Then, they attack your idea to discredit you. Then, they claim they've been doing it long before you "made a fortune" by commercializing their idea. Then, you win.

Don't expect people to shower you with adulation. Don't do it for the pat on the back, or the plaque on the wall. Because you're going to need to thicken your skin if you truly have something of value to contribute to the world.

Do it because it's the right thing to do. Do it because you want to bring value to others MORE than you want to receive recognition from them. 

Being original and unique often means standing alone. Be strong enough to be original. Be courageous enough to be uniquely you."
