Now you think you studied it, but, can you apply it?

𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭… 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚?

𝐌𝐢𝐲𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢—yes, the OG samurai—noted something that hit me right in the mindset:

“The true science of martial arts means practicing them in such a way that they will be useful at any time, and to teach them in such a way that they will be useful in all things.”

That’s not just about martial arts.

That’s about everything we do as humans.

If what you're learning can’t walk with you into a heated conversation, a messy moment, or a full-blown “what the hell do I do now” situation… then what’s the point?

Now, 𝐃𝐫 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐫, co-creator of NLP—and professional mind-bender—put it like this:

“NLP is an attitude which is an insatiable curiosity about human beings with a methodology that leaves behind it a trail of techniques.”

And honestly… that part about curiosity? That’s where the magic is.

Because when you're curious, you're alive.

When you're not—you're just looping old patterns and calling it "just how I am."

Then 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐞 (you may have heard of him—tiny bit famous for kicking the truth into people) comes in with the knockout line:

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”

Look—if you know how to breathe through stress, but forget mid-spiral…

If you know how to communicate with clarity, but choose sarcasm instead…

If you know how to shift your mindset, but still hang out with doubt like it’s your best mate…

This is where real life lives: not in what you’ve read, but in what you’ve rehearsed.

Not in how many ideas you have, but in which ones you’ve turned into habits, into actions.

This is what I keep seeing—especially in the coaching world:

So many good humans learning more and more, waiting for some final level of “readiness” before applying what they already know.

Nah. Flip that.

Train it. Use it. Teach it. Live it.

Over and over until it becomes part of you.

So when life throws chaos your way, you don’t have to “remember” what to do—you just do it.

That’s the game.

Curiosity.

Practice.

Application.

And ideally—some laughs along the way.

Because if it’s not fun, what are we even doing?

Redesign your thinking.

Change before extinction!
