Frustration

I was at the Second Degree Brown Belt Class on Saturday and something that I observed made me want to write about it. I think that frustration is what has held me back or limited my growth at times. When you are not sure what someone is asking of you or you don’t know how to fix what they are asking you to fix, it can be extremely frustrating. I am not sure, but I believe there was some frustration in the students.

It took me a long time to understand things that were asked of me years ago and at the time I got so angry about it. I now realize that you can’t fix it in a single class, but it may take years to fix it. I guess the point of this is to remind myself that you need to just understand there is something you need to work on and it is something that will take time. You will not fix it immediately but you need to not get frustrated by it. I think I am better at this now but I still think frustration creeps into my training.

The Kwoon

It has been a whirlwind since I got home and it will not stop until mid September I think. One thing I am disappointed about is missing the Kwoon renovations this year again. I have had so many memorable experiences in the past and I enjoyed every moment I spent doing them. I can’t explain why, but you definitely feel more at home in the Kwoon when you literally put your blood and sweat into making it a place for you to train.

Even though I will be gone for most if not all of that week, I am still hoping to contribute somehow or someway as I feel it is important for me to continue to put my time into this project. How, I am not sure yet but I will find a way and so should anyone who is a student of SRKF.
