"The End"...or is it?

Whether it be a classic movie such as the wizard of oz or a classic Shakespeare play, hamlet for instance, after our first viewing we know how it ends.  They follow a script.

"Scripting" is when we think we have a "script" for our life.   What we may not realize is that we can re-write the script, our script, at anytime.  Our final chapter has not yet been written.  

As human beings we have self-awareness.  By being aware of ourselves we can see down what path our current choices and behaviors are taking us; and it might not be where we want to end up.  Sometimes we become aware that we are going in the right direction, a direction which is congruent with our vision, conscience and values.  Sometimes we become aware that we are going in a not so good direction; one that is incongruent with our vision, conscience and values.

So we re-write the script.  We change course.  We make different choices.  We assume different roles.  We set different standards.  We create a different vision.  We become self-aware and we exercise our freedom to choose.  Some of the greats in history started out on a not so good path only to change course and finish in a way that made a difference.  So can we.  We can re-write the ending to our script, our lives. 

Or we can just say, "that's the way I am" and be happy with that.

Thank You to our community!

Attention Parents...

If you want your children to learn how to defend themselves and fight I can teach that...more importantly I teach people of all ages how to fight against things that really matter.  Kicking hunger out of our community is an example of lessons in Generosity, Kindness, Compassion and Empathy.  

Teaching children to fight against mediocrity and apathy, teaching young people to think and to think about others and make a difference, this is our unique martial arts education of intelligent curriculum designed by Sensei Dan Rominski.

TheDOJO Food Drive - Children Making a Difference

 

Teaching children about compassion, empathy and kindness through TheDOJO Food Drive.

TheDOJO Food Drive is a form of Project Based Leadership Training for children, teens and adults. At TheDOJO we Unleash Human Potential through teaching timeless, self-evident principles; a form of principle centered leadership. This week our life lessons included the concept of compassion, empathy and kindness. What those words mean, and how do take action and live it. A food drive for our local food pantry which helps feed local families, that’s all that’s a teachable moment for moment. 

It’s an everyday sight, children and their families walk into TheDOJO to attend class lugging packed bags of groceries. They are so proud that they can make a difference. Little Joseph yesterday brought in 4 bags of Groceries. “Joe, how did you generate all of these donations?” i asked. Little joe replied, “By asking people in my family.” His grandfather further explained how they reached out to family members who graciously supported the project by donating cans of food, school supplies and personal hygiene products.

Parent’s, Childhood is the training ground for later on adult behavior, that’s why we teach punches and kicks in the martial arts but go beyond that to teach the character to control oneself and think about others. Get involved with TheDOJO Food Drive or better yet, try out our lessons. We offer a free month to all new students to try it out.

Rutherford Rec Camp-TheDOJO Sensei Dan Rominski

Teaching Children Peace Education, Non-vonlient conflict resolution, old school self-defense...while having lot's of fun.

Each year we teach, about 1,000 children, at all of the local summer camps such as the YMCA, Rutherford and local town rec. departments, and daycare centers.  These organizations use Sensei Dan Rominski and TheDOJO as their choice because of our level of safety and professionalism, and we are the most effective at teaching children.  Keeping them engaged and interested, while having fun is what children like.  Camp directors, camp councilors, and parents like best that we teach good character qualities such as focus, respect, non-violent conflict resolution, bullying prevention, self-defense, stranger danger, persistence, fitness, anger management, courtesy, random acts of kindness and everything else a child will need in their tool box to evolve into great human beings.  

We offer a free month of martial art lessons to all new students to try out our program before getting enrolled.

Our Potential.

Compassion

"a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering."

A feeling. Meaning that in order to feel we must pay attention, notice, and become aware of what is going on inside ourselves, our hearts and our minds. This means quieting our minds.  What helps is eliminating distractions, our ability to concentrate on self-awareness. 

When we notice others "stricken" by misfortune and have a strong desire to alleviate the suffering, we expand our awareness beyond ourselves and out to others. Embracing and connecting ourselves to them rather than disconnecting ourselves. Like an eco system in nature we notice the relevance of complimentary relationships.

Through harmonizing those relationships we create an environment of balance and peace.

We could choose to feel compassion for other people, our environment, and even ourselves. I find a beauty in this word, it’s definition and most of all...it’s potential.
