Sun

 It is amazing how the sun is affecting us so much. Warmth, light. 

We strive to surround ourselves with positive minded people and the sun has such an important part of that as well. People also choose we’re to live so they can get more sun. 

But the sun can also be a problem when it is too hot. Watch a couple movies about sun flares and what it can cause. Scary. 

So again it all comes back to balance. 

Peter Quill:
What should we do next? Something good or something bad, or a bit of both?

Gamora:
We'll follow your lead, Star-Lord.

Peter Quill:
A bit of both!

More

As humans we always strive to have more. More skills, more materials, more money. 

While what we need is to do more, to do better with what we have. 

As a black belt I have lots of knowledge and there isn’t necessarily a need to learn new skills but to improve on the ones I got.

Who am I?

 It is hard being pulled in 2 directions. Am I an instructor or am I a parent. 

While I definitely understand the benefits of having my kids in Kung fu, this has been a stressor of mine. Are they going to do it right?

As an instructor I do not want to give any special treatment for my kids but I think that this interfere with what I would do with my kids if you was not their instructor as well.

Our capacity

 Sifu Brinker talked about the wagon of knowledge. This is the capacity for each and one of us to collect and retain knowledge. 

While it might be nice to think that the size of our wagons is the same or that the size of the wagon stays the same - I don’t think it is true. 

We all have different circumstances and starting points and that has an affect on the size of our wagon. How we maintain the wagon also influence the size of the wagon. 

How we organize the items in the wagon also has an impact on the amount of knowledge you can keep before it is falling of the wagon. 

Note for self - maintain your wagon. Expand your wagon. Organize your wagon.
