TRUELY INSPIRED

We are blessed to have each other. I look around at our Kung Fu family and I am in awe that I am part of such an amazing group of people.

I have not been able to train for approx. ten days and this has allowed me to step back and have a good look around me. I see committed people working hard to meet their goals, overcome their obstacles and improve themselves. Everyone has their own methods, their own paths, and needs but what I see in each person in our family is that they are being true to themselves.

It is awesome to see people working individually and together in pursuit of mastery. People are being supportive, encouraging, and challenging. Our kwoon is brimming with positive energy, you can almost feel the personal growth of each person.

So, what's my point? I think that we need to appreciate what we have and not take it for granted. I have questioned whether or not I belonged here in the past. The answer is, I am exactly where I belong, surrounded by people with similar goals and aspirations. One of my goals is to overcome my uncertainties and shyness and be more of a leader. How am I going to accomplish this? Well, by emulating the leaders around me, by being positive, supportive and encouraging. And last but not least, I will try to share my journey through journaling.

This started out being an entry about the trials and tribulations of training when unable to do anything physical. As I started writing, I realized the positive lessons and observations that I have acquired lately. I prefer this positive perspective.
