Change for the better

Well today as I was leaving work I saw an elderly lady putting groceries into her car and it didnt even cross my mind... At that moment! As I was driving away I felt like I could have helped her and her saying thank would give me the satisfaction I enjoy!! I am feeling a change in mindset due the things required for I ho chuan and I feel things can only get better from here. I do feel bad for that lady and I feel bad for myself that I didnt take the opprotunity to help!! As Mike Tyson said "everyone has a plan, until they get a shot to the mouth!" I had a plan of going home and not worrying about anything but I think that Kung Fu is giving that shot to the mouth I need to make a change for the better in myself!! So next time im only thinking of myself ill be darn sure I can take that minute out of my day to help someone else out!!

Keep on keepin on!

The end of basketball season at school has returned which means the beginning of spring basketball! Spring ball is more relaxed so my main focus can be kung fu! I need to do a lot of things in my life to keep true to myself! I cant stop doing stuff! Its not in me!! Also this opprotunity of playing spring ball will take me on a trip to Gonzaga University where hopefully I can refine my skills as a player physically and mentally as well as refine my overall person mentally and physically! Life brings opprotunity and I intend to them and flourish from them!!! So all you gotta do is... Keep on keepin on!

Enjoyment

Sorry I forgot to blog this last week so I am doing it now! I find lately I am really getting enjoyment out of everything in kung fu! I really enjoy getting up in the morning and doing push ups and sit ups that I do 60 befoe I even leave the house! Ive just enjoyed doing push ups and sit ups that im doing around 300 a day and ive been attending the monday wednesday classes and I enjoy that! I guess im just excited that im getting this much enjoyment out of all this! I hope you feel this way cuz its just a great great feeling :-)

Courage

This past week in english class we have been talking about courage. It seems as though everyone had a different defintition of courage not that this is surprising to me. We think of a lot of people that are the most prominate definition of courageous: fire firefighters, soldiers etc. We think yeah thats good but we dont go down deep into thought and think how courageous ALL of us can be. Little things can be courageous in your own mind that other people may not understand. I think one of the most courageous people i know is my Grandma. She was diagnosed with cancer a couple months ago and it has been really hard on all of us and no one wants to see someone they love go through something like that. But some how, some way she is being really strong through this. Being the stubborn person that she is she doesnt want to believe how vurnurable she is. She is really being strong through this. She could have folded and let the cancer defeat her and consume her or she could have kept going on with her life like nothing was wrong. Neither of these would be the best descision so she decided to fight and i respect that and gain hope for her each and every day. I always say if there was a mountain in front of you and there was three ways to go which way would you go? You could go left and go around it or go right and go around or you can go straight over top and say you conquered it. Which way would go? For lots of people they would say they would go around it because its easier and some would say they would go straight over top before they even see the mountain. The only way to conquer it is to find it in yourself that you can do it and you wont quit. Straight over top is my grandma is decided to go because she doesnt want to give in. Theres too much at stake for her and we dont want to lose her. So what i have to say to you is "conquer it and find that courage inside you"
