This past couple weeks has been a bit of a struggle for me. I felt like I was standing in the middle of a baseball sized hail storm and in no direction was there refuge. I mentally put up a block that I could not hurdle over. It took the full two weeks before my mind was willing to see past the blinders and view my situation from the other side of the street.
This epiphany, at least that is what I will refer to this as, was about who my kung fu is for. I can out right say that when I started studying kung fu it was for me, at least that was the way I viewed it. Many people say that kung fu is an individual activity...in my journey, that has not been the case. So, through this eye opening revelation, it dawned on me that my journey is not about me, as ridiculous as that may sound! This past couple weeks, my ego got the best of me and made the worst for me. I truly see my journey as being for the people who surround me, however, I do realize that I need to secure my own stability and self being before those around me and the environment I create will benefit. I have always been a person with a giving heart and I'm not sure how I didn't put the two together until now. This could put a bit of spin on how I visualize many things and an insight which will hopefully keep me engaged.
