Amazed.......

There are countless words of wisdom and even more effective techniques i have taken in over the 8 years i have been a Martial Artist and with all the hardships and obsticals that make all those things hard to remember at times make me feel like I can't be anywhere close to my bestor work hard enough to meet our standards I am reminded by a 4 year old that if you want to you can, as simple as that her words bring me back to center. She stands at the top of the steep slide at the playground looking down with me at the bottom yelling up to her "You don't have to if it's too scary" and standing as still as she can to nervous to move another inch she replies "It's really scary dad, But I want to go" and that was it, no explinations no long drawn out reason why she was having trouble just exactly what was happening and what she wanted, and in that moment a few of those words that have since been drowned out started coming back to mind the first of those was "It dosen't matter if your training in Taekwondo or Karate, Kung Fu or Krav Maga, all that matters is what you take away from it" Everything I need to meet my goal, Is already here i just need to use it, I believe we all do and as a team we need to help each other find those things and it can be as small as a comforting look at the right time and as big as carrying someone thru to the finish, so together we can make the most of this and together we can raise the bar taking away as much as can be taken together.
