What level are you performing at?
I have set goals for myself like very one of my team mates have done. These goals have limits like 50 000 pushups and 50 000 sit ups etc. However there is no limit to how hard I push myself to reach these goals. To me it is not about reaching these goals but how I reach them is so much more important to me. I would not be disappointed with myself if I didn’t reach say 50 000 pushups as long as I had performed at a level 10 trying to reach that goal. We all know that we can’t perform at a level 10 every minute of every day as that would be impossible. However I do know that most of us are not performing at a level 10 and we don’t do much to change it. It is much easier to perform at a 5 or a 6 and we think we are performing enough…..but are we? I don’t think so! This road (UBBT 8) has me reflecting not only on my Kung Fu training but also on how I am living my life. Do I perform at a level 10 when I am at the Kwoon? I try very hard to but there are times that I may be at a 7 or 8. Now do I perform at a level 10 in life outside of the Kwoon? However, now that I have grasped this concept I am starting the ramp up my level in life just by being mindful of where I am and what I am doing.
So I leave you with this question, “What level are you performing at right now”?
