Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that since we enter the world with nothing and we leave the world equally empty handed, the real legacy is not how much physical wealth we’ve accumulated rather if we’ve helped others in some way along life’s winding journey. We’ve all heard of the novel by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, consider poor old Scrooge and the legacy he would have left behind had it not been for the kindly intervention of the three spirits.
Personal Growth Series – Look For the Good in Everything
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that everything that happens in life, indeed all events are never good or bad, they are merely data and that each of us chooses to interpret that data as either good or bad. Since we all decide what’s good or bad in life; then always look for the good!
Personal Growth Series – New Years Revolution
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that most people state vague ‘good intentions’ in their New Years Resoltions. That is not good enough; one needs to make super positive commitments to create a real New Years REVOLUTION!
Personal Growth Series – Self Esteem
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that self esteem is only developed properly through your deeds, words and achievements. Anything less will be false, perhaps even bordering arrogance at times which is usually always unbecoming.
Personal Growth Series – Set Your Targets
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that you should only compare your progress and your successes against what you’re capable of achieving, not against others.

Personal Growth Series – Nett Profit is Sanity, Turn-Over is Vanity and Cash Flow is King!
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests we shouldn’t be over-impressed by the turn-over figures of a business, when it’s the high NETT profit and excellent Cash Flow combined that REALLY count.
Personal Growth Series – Drops of Water
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that even though we may be nothing more than a tiny speck, a grain of sand or a droplet of water in the vast ocean of life and in the universe, however, it really does seem that some of those drops sparkle. People are always people, however some people are special, they stand alone against adversity, they inspire, they lead, they love, they sparkle in the darkness and they are good.
Once, there might have been a fleeting wisp of glory, a time when words and deeds mattered, they coincided and they inspired. What is done in this spirit should always be remembered.
Personal Growth Series – The Sum of Our Experiences
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that one should be careful with all experiences, after the fact, good or bad, they stay with you forever. This is not to suggest that one should not ‘live in the moment’, quite the contrary. Simply learn to rapidly assess and consider all the multi-faceted cause and effect consequences of everything before committing.
Personal Growth Series – True Nobility
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that nobility can never be given, it must always be earned, it is your deeds in combination with your words that make the difference. Don’t expect to automatically receive complete respect because of a job title, a position or a noble title. Respect given under those circumstances is only given because of the negative consequences of NOT showing respect.
Personal Growth Series – When The Legend Becomes Fact
Personal growth and self development through Sir Brian Sterling’s Mental Martial Arts suggests that the legend is often more powerful and more inspiring than the stark naked truth. I have often seen journalists & TV reporters dig to uncover what they believe to be an essential ‘truth’, and in doing so they destroy a legend that inspired the world and gave people hope in the process. Why do journalists often do this? Perhaps for their personal additional five minutes of fame? For an extra feeble ego-trip? Is it needed? Is it worth the cost in terms of lost ‘hope’ and inspiration to thousands or even millions? No, definitely NOT! When the legend becomes fact, ALWAYS Print the Legend!
