Priorities

 I had a one on one last week and I have been taking the time since than to review and go through each priority of my life and figure out where they all sit if I ranked them from most important to "still important but not the most". I did not want to use the word "least" as that was not my intention. 

  1. Health - This includes, sleep, diet, along with both my mental and physical health. The order I listed these topics in is also how I view them to be in order of importance. I cannot have anything else unless my sleep is good and the food I am eating are healthy. This causes everything else on this to benefit. 
  2. Kung Fu - I went back and forth with putting this at number 2 or 3. Ultimately it gets put in the number 2 position. I had a mental "click" after my one on one. Kung fu is supposed to help us achieve mastery. So why am I not putting more effort into my kung fu? BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT UNTIL AFTER MY ONE ON ONE. I do not need to go to every level 1 and 2 class. But what I need to do is go to all my classes, do my numbers, and most importantly. I need to do it all as mindful as I can and do it smart and efficient well keeping my ego under control. 
  3. My Business - I am not the greatest fan of working a 9-5 for 40 years (I know call me crazy) and I want the opportunity to work when I want, and have an income that will allow me to go on the adventures I want to go on. Plus I love the world of finance and helping people so I figured I should make that my career. 
  4. Relationships - This includes my family, friends, and girlfriend. I have put it lower on this list because when I am going through the bad I will typically keep my relationships isolated from the bad. This prevents it from effecting anything else on the list.

New Chapter

Tomorrow will be my first day. It’s exciting. And it’s also making me nervous. I just don’t want to mess up the bow at the start of class. I also can’t wait to help bring up next years and the next generation of candidates who are not in the Kao Shi program.  I’m also having. Trouble writing this blog. There is so much I want to stay right now but it will all come out eventually in my posts. But for now all I can is I am excited to help, teach, learn, and share this next chapter.

Woah

It’s been eye opening with how many questions I’ve been getting asked ever since being promoted. What is really cool is I get to find out where forgotten the holes are in my kung fu. I was asked by a student to help them with 18 Temple Motions an I had to quickly run through my memory bank of the form and all the feedback I can remember being told. At the level 2 class it’s really fun and I love being there to help and teach the next generation of our school. At open training you are constantly approached with questions and I try to answer them the best way I can but there were times that I couldn’t answer the questions and needed to get help from a higher degree black belt. It’s just been really eye opening with the level of responsibility we instantly take when we step onto the mats.
