One of the biggest things I have learnt from Kung Fu is the
importance of not only setting goals but of attaching deadlines with them. I am a play by the rules kind of gal and like
having expectations set along with a magic date. In some weird way I think I kind of thrive in
that kind of atmosphere. As a Sihing and
as being a member of the I Ho Chuan I had very specific dates. I knew what was expected from me, had a date
given and with that I had to come up with a plan and follow through if I was to
be successful. In making a goal and
setting out a plan, I had a purpose behind what I did. Best put, purpose gives clarity to confusion.
And here comes in the gift of the I Ho Chuan. Here is a challenge that will not only push
you beyond the ordinary, but will help give purpose to what you do. Of course there is the set of team goals but then
there are the personal goals. These are the
goals that are handpicked by you. They
are individual and have great meaning and significance to us individually. These are the goals that help you fulfill
YOUR purpose in making the change you want to see in your life and in those
around you.
I have not been a part of the I Ho Chuan team for the past
two years. I have been a silent member
trying to go it alone, cheerleading for each person who was on the team, while trying
to maintain my own engagement without a team.
I have kept up my logging with situps, pushups, leg lifts, km’s and now
squat thrusts. I have continued with
journaling, however not publically. I
have found myself sitting in on the I Ho Chuan classes that Darcy has been able
to make, all of the time wishing I was on the floor. Although timing in life may not be perfect,
with an encouraging word from Darcy and thumbs up from Kayden, I am now going
to be part of the upcoming Monkey team! Whoo
Hoo! J
