Another Monkey


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!
