We are not all the same.

I've been thinking about this since Sifu discussed it last night.  I couldn't agree more with this.  I have my own way of training that works and at times doesn't.  What's important is understanding both of these.  What I'm very careful of is taking in its entirety, what works for someone else and try to make that work for me.  It just doesn't and in fact sets me back more than helps move me forward.  I'm open to watching and listening to the people around me and I'll test to see if it can fit with my own personality.  I need to continue to understand my personality and how it contributes to my training.  What are my "hot buttons" and "what things keep me up at night?". Once I understand these things I'm better able to cope and keep moving my training ahead.  

How I train on my own is personal.  I don't feel the need to share every moment of it.  On the flip side I need to communicate more on things I may need help with.  

How I choose to engage and stay engaged is on me.  I don't want to look at others and make judgements or have judgments leveled against me.  Am I moving forward?  Am I progressing?  If the answer is yes, then does it matter how I'm choosing to make that progression?  This journey is my own, but I'm not on the journey by myself.  As a Kung Fu citizen of SRKF I'm on my journey with like minded individuals, 

teammates and family.  I have to be aware of this and contribute and help my SRKF members like they help me.  

At times my ego rears it ugly head and I start to feel resentment.  Resentment towards others who perhaps are more engaged, are more positive and more skilled.  Who am I to judge this, their development and their passion?  During these times I reflect back on Mastery and hit the reset button.  I need to remove (ego driven) resentment so that I can allow myself to be in the moment and allow myself to learn.
