Leader?

    What makes you a leader?  Is it your actions alone or is there something else? To lead you need at least one to follow. Is one follower enough to be considered a leader? Is someone a leader because they have a follower? Is someone with a lot of followers a better leader? So many questions I have about leading , and I have read a few books on the subject.

     I ask because I want to be one , not just any leader , but an exceptional leader and Mastery seems like a good place to start.

Busy Week

     The last week has been very busy. 3 nights were doing baseball evaluating , Saturday and Sunday I was in coaching courses. The whole time evaluating and learning I was comparing the mechanics of Kung Fu and baseball. It really is too much for me to do but the pre season rush is almost over so I can resume my semblance of structure.

     I also seen a Dr. for the pain in my shoulders he said that it appears to be tendinitis in both and a pinched nerve on my right side. So I've changed the amount of push-ups I do at a time ,no more than 30 , and it seems to have made a difference. Less pain and discomfort throughout the day.

     One of my goals was to get Shelly and James to start a blog. I see value in it , even though I seem to miss on occasion. James was really interested and has now started one so here it is.
http://jamesfuhr.blogspot.ca   I wish I could write as good as he does at 10.

Got nothing

   
       Normally I write several blogs before I pick one I think that's the most appropriate to post. This week I haven't written any and have nothing really to say. Not that any of the others were anything special. Writing does help me to refocus and I am hoping that at the end of this that will happen. That's all.

Requirement

     One of my personal requirements was get encourage Shelly and James to participate in some of the I Ho Chuan requirements with Kathryn and I. Not an easy task. Shelly has always been on a path of self discovery and enlightenment. So she already does a lot , just a little differently. James is only 10. He has expressed some interest in doing a blog , and some other I Ho Chuan goals , but really enjoys his free time. (His words)

    This goal , for me , is important because I see the value in it.  I thought it would be easy and would come quicker. It has not been either.

Hard act to follow

     We had a chance to see everyone's weapon form on Fridays class , well everyone that was on the mats. Very inspiring to see the talent we have on the team and how far we've come in a short time. Disappointed with my form , I don't know the whole form yet , but have practiced a lot  what I know and thinking back I m not sure I made one move correctly. I mean I freeze , not every time , but in Fridays class I definitely did , went thru the motions in and mostly the wrong order and with poor form. Kathryn's first comment to me was "Wow you sure screw up a lot when you're in front of everyone." Something I need to work on.

     No argument from me on that. She was a hard act to follow and I'm proud.

Fuel

       Had a bad week week with my diet and I'm feeling it everywhere. My body aches and my mind is a little cluttered. I don't seem to have those issues when I'm eating well , so that definitely needs to improve. Mastery requires a sound mind and body but without the right fuel that is not going to happen. First step , more water , a small step but a step in the right direction.

Rants

     So I have been having a hard time at work. I wrote a long fairly blog about it and after reading it, I felt better, but it was still not acceptable to post. A lot of venting was done that would make a trucker blush.

     Time to move on and make some changes that hopefully are for the better. Only time will tell. No time to dwell. Move forward and press on.
   
     I coach hockey and baseball and I'm on the baseball executive. All these things take time and energy, both of which I am running short of. I do them because someone was there for me and I want someone to be there for the next generation. Paying it forward.

     For me , Mastery has to include everything not quit somethings to make the rest easier. Although I do know I can't do everything ,I'm not yet ready to quit trying. Not sure when I will get a proper sleep but not really worried about it either.
