It has been a very hectic week for me, especially with work, but also with a few other things. I have been quite frustrated with myself in a couple of areas in my life as a leader. I tend to be pretty hard on myself but do understand I have so much more to learn, and I do want to learn and to grow. I realized tonight after my work out, how much my kung fu training brings me back to the reality of it all. It brings me back to the appreciation for the small things and the simplicity of life. It doesn't have to be complicated. My training brings me back to what is important, and it also helps me to clear my head and see where I need to go in this path of progression. How does it do all that? I don't really know, and I am a bit too tired to contemplate it to any great degree, but I do know that even with a week such as this last one, I still stayed on top of my training, and my thoughts are clear. I feel very self aware. I have a good understanding of the mistakes I have made and I have plans already in progress to use what I have learned to move forward.
