 (i could not think of a better title name)
hello everyone some of the stuff in this blog i was planing to say in the meeting, but i did not make and i am so sorry for that. I was going to talk a little about my journey on coming back to kung fu, because i think it is a good one and some people may get something out of it, if not that is okay to.

when i first join kung fu i joined for all the wrong reasons; i joined because my friend was joining. it turned out later that he never joined kung fu he went into Tae Kwon Do; his grandparents got the name wrong. But there i was in kung fu, now not wanting to be there. i never quit kung fu early because i was to polite and shy. i thought if i quit kung fu i would hurt peoples feelings, but that was not the case at all. I was a bad student and i never tried or applied myself to hard. I was just coasting, being lazy. I was a classical never going to get his black belt, because i was barely sihing material. then one day i eventually did quit and i thought i would never look back, but year after year of being out of kung fu i began to devolve a negative void inside of me. i was not enjoying life, i was just living it. when i first quit kung fu i really was happy no more responsibility, no more pressure to do a form better, just me. 

by the third year of not doing kung fu i was not happy at all i was just blah. then my mo got her black belt that year. And to see what she had to do to get the black belt was grueling. but it was how she treated the black belt that got me to thinking. she did not do all of this hard work just for the black belt (well some of it of course) but the sheer persistence she had into getting her belt. she was always happy at kung  fu and always working on something to improve upon. She truly was on a amazing journey. I thought to myself on the day she was handed her black belt. I want that for myself as well. i want to have an extraordinary journey as well. i wanted back in kung fu but his time it was for me. 

what wonders kung fu has done for since then i have grown leaps and bounds from where i used to be in life, and kung fu gave that to me. that negative i had while i was gone from kung was not going to kung fu. Yes sometimes it is demanding, and sometimes really hard, but is anything worth doing easy to get;was it easy to get your wife or husband? was it easy to get your dream job? i would say most of the time no, but it is normally worth it.  when i was younger i thought kung fu held me back and took up all my time, but in reality our kung fu is not mainly in the business of building awesome black belt ( but of course we have lots of those) it is in the business of changing who you are as a person for the better. if there is one thing for sure that kung fu has showed me it is not to focus on the negativity, but rather the positivity. stuff in life will go wrong, but it what you do that makes the difference. I admit i have not always made the right choice when it comes to negativity, i am sometimes silent or i say the wrong thing, but we are all human we can all learn from our mistakes. if we had none how would we know when something was wrong? 

well i guess i will leave off of that and remember remain extraordinary.
