So we have been talking about re-starts a lot lately. Makes me think about my progress and current attitude towards Kung Fu. And I can see I need a reboot, a hard one, a steel toed kick to the butt.
I have become to lax in my recording of my numbers, in my commitment to both the mandatory requirements and my personal requirements, in my practicing of even the simplest of things. Even sitting down to write this blog this morning I feel my focus drifting to other things. I also find my lack of focus has affected those around me. Thankfully my wife ( Deb ) has picked up some of that slack, I am talking about the Saturday parking lot practices. These informal get togethers have lit a spot light on where I am at. And I am not pleased with that. I seem to be able to talk a good game but when I try to do a form or a particular move, my wheels fall off and I am left looking in the mirror and saying " stop talking and start doing you poser ". I have access to all the tools I need to make this happen, I just need to use them.
If I ever hope to be allowed to grade for my black belt, I need a major overhaul of my attitude towards my work ethics. As Master Brinker once said, " there is a huge difference between - good enough and good, enough ". I am stuck in the first and need to get to the second.
So as was discussed in Thursdays I Ho Chuan meeting, time for a restart. Time to evaluate where I am at, make a plan, get a coach, implement that plan, AND TAKE CONSISTANT ACTION!!
