Balance
While I keep reading Mastery , in the attempt to memorize it , I wonder. Am I going to lose my appreciation for some of the simple things that life offers? In our never ending journey for mastery are we going to push ourselves too far. Maybe miss a sunrise or skip some quality family time to complete something on our list. I know that this shouldn't happen , but it's tough , not getting caught up in the quest for numbers. Looking back at last year I see it happened to me on more than one occasion. A better effort at appreciating life's simple pleasures is going on my to do list. Maybe that's why I named my blog My Balancing Act even though right now there's not much balance.

I think the plan is to figure out how to strive for mastery in Kung Fu and then apply to all areas of our lives, like family time, relaxation, self care, etc.... I think you are doing just fine, just keep putting one foot in front of the other:)
ReplyDeleteBalance was the theme of last years lion/dragon dance for that very reason. If you never push hard and gain the benefit for having done so you never get to look back and see the progress made. I remember you as a student two to three years ago on the edge of walking away from Kung-Fu completely, and now here you are trying to go from first degree brown to second degree brown to black belt in eight months. Your ambition, confidence, and hard work have paid off 10 fold and the progress you have mad is amazing. Don't depart from the path you are on, Mastery is what you are doing and greatness is what you can achieve with it.
