Patience

I have recently reaped the rewards of working towards and attaining my black belt, again! It taught me patience with myself and the learning process. My learning process is unique to me and I'm okay with that, I like to take my time and understand all the different parts before I am satisfied enough to move on. When I first started kung fu I was more concerned about keeping up with those standing beside me than learning the material. It was a learning experience for sure but the most valuable lesson that I could have ever learned. I am learning something new and I am in no hurry to get it done or learn it all. I am content to practice the pieces that I have and I can see that I am getting better each time I practice. I am grateful to kung fu for teaching me to accept my limits and to know when to push beyond them. I have never felt so calm and confident while learning something before and I like this feeling.
