Flying

This is one time that I have more things to write about and I almost can't decide what to choose.  Needless to say my year is off to a flying start.  I haven't felt this engaged and motivated in almost two years. 

Mentally I'm in a very good place.  This is an area that I have struggled with in the past two years.  Actually Sifu Tymchuk asked me what's changed this past Saturday.  What's changed is that mentally I addressed some things candidly and put everything on the table.  I realized what was "dogging" me for a very very long time.  Once I had that out there, I felt renewed and re energized.  I have literally thrown myself into my Kung Fu and I am seeing the benefits both mentally and physically. 

I have also started to take on more responsibilities and leadership with in the Kwoon.  I have stayed silent for a long time which is not my character.  I am enjoying the start of this year more than I have in any year in the past.  I feel motivated to train, I feel motivated to write and I feel motivated to eat better.  I guess you could say that I'm feeling motivated in life.  The challenging part will to maintain and increase these levels through out the year.  It's early, I get it but I haven't felt like this before and I LIKE IT!

I would like to touch on the team that we have this year.  It's a special team.  We have had good teams in the past but this feels different.  I think we have a very good mix of people who have been through the I Ho Chaun and we have a good mix of new team members.  I think the mix of returning and new is a vital key to the team's success as a whole.  I'm very very excited about the potential of this team and I will do what ever I can to be the best team mate that I can.
