I always think that if you need to set goals, you should not wait for New Years. But there is something with major events that can trigger a change. This is why I think it is OK if I can use it as a motivator.
I use different major events to propel me towards a better self. Birthday, holidays, etc. it doesn't matter. If I can use that to my advantage, than I shall do that!!!
We sometimes put obstacles in our way. Why? Because we think this is the “right way”. Sometimes going through the obstacles or finding ways to ignore them will get us to the end result faster.
I have a need for recondition. I think this is originated from my childhood where I always felt I’m not good enough. I craved the “you are doing good” comment.
Luckily it pushed me to get better in anything I do. But the feeling of not being good enough is still there. The need for recognition is still there.
Today we planted trees. As a group we planted more than 1,000 trees!!!
It was tiring but very rewarding. Being outside with family and some KF friends. Helping nature (especially with all the recent fires).
These acts are important aspect of my Kung Fu. I just wish more people would have participated.
The lack of rainfall this season led to lots of forest fires. Affecting many people.
With al this dry weather, I had to water my garden more than I did in the last 10 years combined.
Sometimes when the situation changes and it is not in your control, all you can do is try to help and wait.
Sometimes it is the same with students. After being active for years, they all of a sudden gone or practicing less. You have to keep watering and hopefully they will resume their practice.
I like it when the days are long. It give me the feeling there is lots of time for everything. But I tend to get less sleep which is not good.
Everything should be more balanced.
Sometimes you need a Simon to keep you accountable.
You going after a goal, you set your plan, you start with high motivation and then you stop. You lose motivation. And then your success coach or your partner/friend/etc. is going to poke you and get you going again.
