Routine Maintenance

“Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.” - Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

There are five different realms to a human being: Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Social, and Financial. To create the ultimate B Side of a human... (One's best self which is more than likely completely opposite of how you have been programmed by your environment over many of years)... there must be routine maintenance.

How does one do routine maintenance? Here are a few steps:

1. Schedule regular time daily to do the things that stimulate the body, mind, and soul as one.

2. ASK QUESTIONS during this time. Typically we know not, because we inquire not.

3. Silence, Meditation, Ponder the subject, write in a journal the thoughts that come to your mind. Those who say I don't work like that, it's because you haven't been programmed like that. So you must work extra hard to program yourself to do this part... other wise with no silence, all you hear is noise and you will not get the answers to your questions because you will not hear them.

4. Apply what you have learned.

As I have began to study and train Brasilian Jiu Jitsu the last couple of months I have realized one key element to better understanding of it and getting better at it. It is the ability to ask the question HOW. Find out what you do not know always by asking questions.

The B Side To The Truth is most people have no idea anyways... yet because of the way we have been programmed we often times do not question things... especially how to do things. We have created a false fear inside that we will be looked down on for not knowing or understanding. The reality is you must take responsibility for your own life and your own soul and if you do not know how... you better find out by asking questions. After all you are your greatest asset.
