Mindful Trip to Jasper

I wanted to comment on Sifu Brinker’s analogy of the person in training trying to make their way to Jasper from the Stony Plain. I had to smile as this was being mentioned, because even though my intent is not to make that 90 degree corner at the last second, that is totally how my life/ journey has gone for a very long time.

I think the fact that it made me smile and laugh inside, about how ridiculous it sounded and how unattainable a life style like that was, is a good sign for me. I got a total visual of what I’ve put my mind though for most of my adult life.

I have been awfully hard on myself and haven’t realized the extent of my roller coaster ride. No wonder I feel like I’m losing my mind!

Sifu Brinker, I need to thank you for many things, especially the talks that we share, but I must say that I am a person that learns better from visual teaching. It may have been your analogy of the 90 degree turn to Jasper that really hit home.

I really hope that my new job posting is going to allow me to feel the gradual turn, rather than the head jerking 90 degree that I’ve been experiencing.
