Questions....Answers!
Have you ever worked so hard for something that you have put your everything into it? And then along that same journey, you often wonder, 'Am I ever going to get there?' I have. I am living it. Now my goal is very close and it feels kind of surreal, is this really happening? How am I supposed to feel? Where do I go from here? What is my everyday going to look like?
It seems like all I have is questions, this is good right? I don't ever want to feel like, 'ahhh, I made it!' and stop working towards mastery. I always want to have questions, not the same questions, just questions. How does this work? How can I make it better? What do I need to pay attention to today to make this the best day ever? If I saw me on the street, is that someone who I would want to be friends with? If I saw me practicing kung fu, is that someone that I would aspire to be? If I saw me fund-raising and increasing awareness, would that encourage me to do that as well?
These are the questions that run through my head on a regular basis, so that I can be a better me. My ultimate goal is to be a great martial artist, regardless of the belt that I am wearing.
So here I am, working hard everyday to improve me and doing the hardest thing for me, being patient!
