I had a number of things going through my head this week but nothing would come to fruition. So I went back to my earlier blogs and reread them. Isn't funny how the things that you were concerned about years ago are either still around or just the opposite, they are so irrelevant that you wondered why you worried about them at all. I noticed that it was the items that were in my control that were okay now. I continue to focus on personal growth. I have started taking Tai Chi and it has really helped me mentally. As well as feeling the way my body moves, I am starting to feel flow more frequently. I sparred very quickly with Sifu Csillag and there was no fear, initially a lot of thinking, but even after a few minutes it felt more natural. I know I can push harder, I know I can do more, I know that I am making my mind stronger as well as my body.
I took a look at the items that were still sticking around and started to wonder why are they were still there. Many of the things that are out of my control, continue to be a struggle but it's recognizing that these are out of my control and that I can only be responsible for what I can control. I worry about my children but I can only support them, guide them, set good examples, and be there when they need me.
I noticed that when I am having a good day/week/month with Kung Fu, it is also when I am excelling in other areas of my life. It is really good to take the time to review where you have come from and where you are going. I was able to remember how far I have really come and that I am on the right path.
See you on the mats.
