I am Still Here

I know I have fallen off the radar. I would not be impressed with my progress if I was one of my peers. I will sum up my falling off with a copy paste of a text message I sent to one of my friends when they asked why I have basically gone awol. 

"I’m just scared that nothing is going to work out for me no matter how hard I keep working to improve and it’s keeping me from trying now"

    What do you define as success? Genuinely curious, because I think the answer would go a long way to understanding what is holding you back.

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.  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.

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?

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.

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.
