If there's one thing I suck at it's long term commitment in... well, anything. This is one of the hardest things I've ever tried to do. Both of the last times that I've been a part of this UBBT thing I have gotten way behind on my numbers for the simple reason that consistency on a day to day basis is the thing that I am worst at and then it compounds and the frustration and shame from that makes it harder to get back. Obviously I need to get better at it but I'm going to try something that I haven't done yet in the past couple years. I already know that I am not able to grade as I've failed in the unforgivable ways set out by this test but I'm going to up my game again and see how much better I can do regardless. I'm going to need help to stay on the wagon as you can see from my track record so I might need to lean on some of you guys if I'm going to try to finish strong. Also, I've heard that Sihing Choy needs a training partner for the grading stuff so if he's reading this, we gotta figure something out. I'll see you on friday if you're there and if not then just respond here and we'll figure something out. About to hop into bed so I hope that was coherent enough to understand.

Mastery is never easy. No matter how hard we try, most of the time it hovers in the periphery, just out of reach. What defines our success and progress is more about how we respond to our failures. Every success is built upon umpteen failures. Yes, you have very publicly dropped the ball on your quest. What you do from this point on will define the final outcome of this project for you. Make a statement, be bold, and proceed.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are working at coming back strong, for we have all missed you. Keep it up and don't you dare let the rest of us down again or I may have to get tougher on you in the sparring class. I WILL learn how to get around those kicks of yours. :) :)
ReplyDeleteRemember that there is no such thing as failure as long as we learn from what we have done.
Thanks for your post
In order to ride a horse well, one must get on and one must also learn why they fell off in the first place. Maybe a head-shake is in order, maybe lessons are needed, but the certainty is to get back on.
