Being a good finder is as simple as finding the good in every person or situation. There is a difference between something that is simple and something that is easy. I did say it’s as “simple” as finding good.
Someone that has the habit of looking for the good will always be happier with themselves, the people around them and their situations in life. Why? Because they find the good. The opposite is true for someone who has the frame of reference to find the negative in everything.
I find that there is enough negative energy in the world without looking for more.
Regardless of if you look for positive or negatives, it is a habit. The good news is every habit can be changed. From here forward when something happens to you that gives you negative emotions, ask yourself the question “ what could be good about this situation?” Even the most negative situations will strengthen your character if you let them. Many of the things we feel negative about really aren’t that bad anyway, we just let them get as big as they are because we dwell on the negative instead of checking it with looking for positives.
I have always been interested in the martial arts, but never had the opportunity to pursue any formal training. Shortly after my son began taking classes I decided to join in the fun! This was almost three years ago and training has me in the best shape of my life. It has been very beneficial for my overall well being and a great activity to spend time with my son. Sensei Groesbeck and staff are top notch instructors and provide a positive and fun environment in which to learn and train.
My daughter Jaelyn has been training in martial arts close to five years. She is in great shape, more disciplined and respectful due to the Manlius dojo and staff. Great job on the new website.
My 12 year old daughter and 11 year old son are 1st degree black belts training for their 2nd Degrees. I am 43 years old, in the best shape of my life and ready to test for my 1st degree Black Belt. Impact Martial Arts has changed the life of my children and I for the better in a dramatic way! Modesty, Courtesy, Integrity, Self Control, Perseverance and Indomitable Spirit! These are the creeds instilled in the students who study at the Team Manlius dojo of Impact Martial Arts. The entire teaching staff at the Team Manlius dojo: Sensei Groesbeck, Sensei Button, Deshi Mehmedovic and Mr. McDonald are all AWESOME!! They are all very engaging, professional and inspiring. Not only do they teach marital arts and physical fitness but the curriculum also contains character education and anti-bullying strategies. The environment at the dojo is always positive, fun and inspiriting. Believe me it is a place you will want to be and your kids to be!!!
