MMP Talks (22) : "Temper Your Temper" - James Mbowa (Student's Edition)

IT Specialist and Martial Artist When James started his martial arts journey, he had a "fire in his belly."  Young, hot tempered, angry and filled with resentment, made it difficult for him to see the "wood for the trees" at times.  A small indifference of opinion would light his explosive charge, blinding his judgement and often leading to detriment and danger. Through practicing martial arts, James learnt how to "temper his temper."  Martial arts helped him turn his life around, so he could start to live in the present,  enjoy his life in peace and harmony, and develop a successful career and property business. ========== Martial Mind Power Talks - Martial Mindset for Everyday Life.
