Have you ever been stuck putting things off until tomorrow. Only to tomorrow never comes. Finding it hard to break habits and addictions.

There seems to be one commodity most of us sharing this place live our life by. It seems to seperate all of us from sharing the oneness we are. Allowing it to play with our emotions, causing us to be greedy towards one another. This piece of writing touches on concepts that perhaps we have forgotten along the way. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message

This was written directly after watching the movie "Battle of Long Tan". A film based on the Vietnam war where approximately 108 Australian and New Zealand Soldiers up against approximately 2000 to 2500 Vietnamese soldiers. The battle took place in a rubber plantation near long tan. It's a must watch film for all to understand just what those soldiers went through. This is my tribute to those soldiers and all soldiers past and present who have put their lives on the line for us who are so fortunate to be hear, --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message

In a world where we can never seem to get enough, always chasing something else. Or looking outside and comparing yourself to your surrounds.  We all have a unique difference to each other and better at something then one another.  So be kind to yourself and don't talk poorly about yourself.  life isn't a contest, it's an experience.  Enjoy all of it, you have come for that.   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message

We live in a doing world.  Such a fast paced life.  We hear it a lot, oh how time goes too fast. But maybe we can slow things down a little bit by just changing our thought process or better yet not thinking at all.  Try it, not an easy thing to start but man its great when you get it.   This writing was inspired by Eckhart Tolle teaching. which has helped me find inner peace and I hope these words can also resonate with you also.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message

There is a lot we don't know in this place.  This writing is written with the inspiration of listening to yourself from within.  Give yourself time everyday to understand who you really are and let go of the ego and the mask we wear everyday.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message

As spectators of combat sports we get to see the finished product of what an athlete has worked so hard to get too. With this piece of writing, I am trying to capture as many moments as I can to give the spectators an understanding of the struggles and efforts these athletes go through before they put it all on the line. More commonly known as the fight before the fight. Not many sports can relate to a weight restricted combat sport where tapering for the big event is sometimes or maybe most times not an option. Regardless of the taper to be fresh, these athletes are stripping vital nutrients from their body to meet the obligations of the contract to be a specific weight on the day. Goes against science but really does prove what we can achieve when you are in the right mindset. Then after all that, put in 12 rounds of constant effort. That's respect to all fighters. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/todd-kidd/message
