I have taken this past week to really reflect on some of the anxieties in my life. Things that would cross my mind, in no particular order, my health, the weather, my mother, my job, society, both the lack and excess of kindness in the world. So much of this I can not control. So much of this weighs heavy on me.
But then it rained yesterday. Ahhhh let the healing begin. Then I went to a football game. Today I will see my mother, today I will look after my health ( both physical and mental ) better today than yesterday. I will control what I can and accept what I can't. And love my family twice as hard as yesterday. Time to take a breath and enjoy where I am and what I am doing.
This of course includes my training and Kung Fu.
I am not a religious man but my Dad used to have this quote hanging in his office and I find it applies more every day to my life in general.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
