The Sad Irony of Selfishness
Seth Godin:
More often than not, the selfish person is insecure, fearful and filled with doubt. The selfishness springs from his belief that this is his only good idea, his last dollar, his one and only chance to avoid failure. “I need this, not you,” he says, because he truly believes he’s got nothing else going on, no other chance, no hope.
The irony, of course, is that selflessness (not selfishness, its opposite) is precisely the posture that leads to more success. The person with the confidence to support others and to share is repaid by getting more in return than his selfish counterpart.
Why, you may ask, is this relevant to health, fitness or wellbeing?

MAT - Master Level Specialist UK
This week I went to Denver to MAT HQ to take the Muscle Activation Techniques Master Level Specialist exam.
It’s taken me many hours of study and practice to reach this level, as the exam requires 100% accuracy, in other words not one mistake can be made.
I’m pleased to announce that I passed! I am officially the 32nd practitioner to have reached Mastery level in MAT.
From the MAT website:
Master Level Specialists have established an exceptional ability to help individuals based upon the techniques that have been set forth by MAT.
Each Master level specialist has demonstrated a skill level that makes them the “best of the best” when it comes to the practice of MAT.
These specialists come highly recommended, being capable of handling people with the most complicated muscular related physical ailments.
This is partly thanks to the great team we have at Integra, for pushing, challenging and supporting me every step of the way.
