Tonight’s discussion resonated a great deal with me, both on a personal level, and a professional one.
To sum up one of the things Master Brinker and Master Rybak were talking about, in the fact that they can provide the information, advice, training, knowledge, and opportunities, but it is up to us in what we do with it. They can not force us to take it home with us, out of the Kwoon and into our lives. These were not the exact words, but how they resonated with me.
We choose to be there, to learn and grow. We choose what we do with it. I have this conversation everyday in my job as well. People come to me for financial advice, and sometimes help. I can provide everything I have to give, but it is ultimately up to them on what they do with it. I can attest first hand in the positive changes I have seen in people’s lives when they choose to make their lives better, and healthier.
Kung Fu has done that for me in so many ways. Yes, I struggle, I fail and I fall. But I don’t give up, and I find a way the best way I know how to. I want to be better than yesterday, especially when things are going well. But it means more sometimes when I am struggling, and come out the other side stronger. That is why I am here.
