Re-routing

Ever since I got back from Mexico I have been living my life in a daze. Everything was so colorful, beautiful, and relaxing. That to come back home where everything is white, the people at work are low self esteem, and the day to day interactions outside of kung fu, just felt dead. Not interesting, detailed or anything really. Coming back home was…depressing. And I know the world is not sunshine and rainbows in Mexico, but for me to be somewhere completely different and with my family. It truly felt what life should be like. No rude clients, no upset vendors and no drama. It feels like I am describing a utopias. But I am not. That is what life is like when you cut out the distractions. Calm. But than where is the motivation? Who other than yourself do you have to prove yourself to? Your wife, children, friends, and family? Maybe, if you need to because they cheer you on and don’t talk down on you about your goals. Anyone else can be removed, I’ve removed my goals from certain people in my life. They don’t need to hear my goals and progress because all they will do is bring the conversation down to their level of confidence which is to bring those succeeding down with them. So re-route yourself, engage with those who want to see you succeed and leave behind those who slow you down and keep making the journey harder.

    hmm. maybe we all just need a margarita at the end of the day... It is much easier to manage your life when you don't need to work, when you don't need to deal with rude people. I guess the challenge is how to enjoy your work and make these rude people less rude. I think that is in our hands (at least in the hand that is not holding the margarita...)

Worth

 For the entirety of May I was on a dark underground journey with myself. I analyzed everything about myself, where I am, and what I want to become. It got dark. Not going to get into specifics but it was a lot of talk with myself in a mirror or my car or to myself throughout the day. To keep it appropriate I kept telling myself “you need to win Owen. Because you have no other choice.” I feel we all have taken ourselves to this level before. It definitely made me more aware of the consequences when I don’t do something I need to do. I am comfortable where I am right now, but comfort kills progression. And without progression, we don’t get better.  Numbers: P/U: 13765 S/U: 12047 Forms: 125/113 Sparring: 16 AoK: 268 Mileage: 378.93km

Packing Up

 It has been none stop at the house to get everything ready before we move. We’ve done countless trips out to the storage unit and to my grandpas to store some of our equipment. I’m not a great people person when I comes to living close to one another. I just feel like I have no personal space and that everyone can hear you even when your inside your house. And with us moving into town I’m worried about crime. So I’ll be taking some extra steps to make sure my belongings aren’t in my car as much as they used to be. I haven’t gotten a lot done with my numbers but I’m still getting some done every day.  Numbers  P/U: 12548 S/U: 10580 Forms: 108/102 Sparring: 8 AoK: 237 Mileage: 302.56km

Year of the Horse

I am excited with what is happening next year for the I Ho Chaun team. Growth cannot happen without change no matter how comfortable it may feel. The less we change and challenge ourselves the easier it is for mediocrity to enter our life. And like I said on Thursday, if your not going to be on the team text year use that as a tool to keep yourself disciplined on your journey to be in the team in the future. I try my best to look at the positives that come with most change, because you can’t control that it’s happening so you might as well go in to it with a positive outlook because being negative about it won’t help you get better.  Numbers P/U: 37500 S/U: 34200 Forms: 624/650 Sparring: 161 AoK: 593 Mileage: 913.53km
