Tuesday Morning Thoughts

We had a good class last night. I’m pretty sure Sifu Freitag was mad at us for something because it was a pretty intense workout (at least for someone at my level). I hadn’t been to class in a while and so, even though I felt slow, weak, and out of shape (not that I was ever really fast, strong, or in shape), it was a great class to return to. There were also quite a few new faces and a couple of people were promoted since I was last in class.

What really hit home was that there were new people in class that have already achieved more stripes in a month than I did in six. I know we’re not supposed to compare ourselves to others but how can you not? I guess the important thing is that I recognized the wasted opportunities that all the missed classes represent. I also had a good talk with Mr. Repay about the ebb and flow of motivation. Perspective is always a good thing.
