Many blessings

I was reading about Mr.Kreb's personal victory this weekend and it got me thinking about the amazing people that we surround ourselves with each day at kung fu.
The next time that you are lined up and waiting for class to begin, look at the people standing beside you. These are the people that will eventually inspire, encourage and challenge you in ways that you never imagined. I am constantly surrounded by people who encourage me and expect more of me that I do. These are my kung fu people. They come in all different belt levels and they all come from Silent River Kung Fu. Be open to the people that you train with and allow them to influence your sphere.
I feel blessed to be surrounded by so many like-minded people. I have been encouraged to change what I have always done to make it better. I have been challenged to question how things are put together so that I can take them apart and study them. I have been supported so that I can grow in trusting my judgment and in learning to accept my ordinariness in pursuit of mastery. I am inspired by each person that I encounter that learns the value of setting goals (some of them outrageous! seriously? the DEATH RACE????) and pushing themselves to take the steps to accomplish them.
Take a moment to appreciate the many benefits that you receive as part of our kung fu family.
Until next week, you know what to do, just go do it!
