Growth



The secret in learning martial arts is to overcome ones problems and when in a state of humility, to strengthen ones mind, body & spirit.


The more difficult of the tasks ahead lies in the acquisition of self-discipline... to enable ourselves to choose what we know of as being beneficial, in spite of what our "minds" may be telling us otherwise.

Often easier said than done. It is convincing ourselves of  the value of doing something prior to actually doing it. For example, we can always listen to the excuses or justifications in our head to not do something... like got to the gym, go for a walk, get on the treadmill, go to our designated class... We will always feel better after, say, going to the gym. Most think that it is because of the physical workout... which is partially true... I'm not disputing that.

However, what is more important is that we have challenged and defeated that voice in our head that said not to do what brought us joy!

For today, be extraordinary. Step outside the normal boundaries of your mind... just one step!

Until later,
Leland
