Where I'm at

I'm feeling pretty down right now as this year has not started the way I wanted to. I couldn't do the lion dance at Chinese new year as most of you know and now my patella tendenitis has flared up pretty bad as it hasn't been good for 5 years or so. What makes it worse is that I had slightly teared the patella muscle on my left leg quite a while ago so my knees will never be good and my back will never be good because of the car crash and I'm beginning to feel lost in the pain and heartbreak. I'm gonna keep working and see where it takes me but hopefully it will get better as I don't think it can get any worse.

Small Victories

The other day my coach was talking about small victories and I didn't understand the concept until he explained it. You can't have a big victory until you have those small little victory that leads to your eventual end goal. I think this will help me this year on my journey to the black belt test. It will let me take pressure off myself and enjoy the small victories as if they were big victories. Whether it be the pushups/situps I accomplish in the day or the kind deed I did for someone or eating right I can say "that was a victory for me and I'm proud." I think this is a great concept for everyone to learn as it really does make sense at least it does to me. I'm excited for this year and hope to learn a lot about each and everyone of you.
