Heart

Coming down with a sickness and the numbers continue to pile up. Running into life obstacles and getting knocked flat while kilometers await. Having to work through your breaks to complete a impairative task. A major or minor injury occurs and there is a mountain of training ahead of you and a close family member or friend needs your help and you have to drop what your doing to help. Getting up in the morning and figuring out what part of your training needs attention and how far behind you are on what and still get ready for work. Keeping track of your spouse and children, making sure they are healthy and happy. Being counted on and sometimes expected to fulfill duties and obligations for your work or children that require alot of time that you don't have and somehow still find time to throw some kicks and practice what you learned at class that night. Two and a half feet of snow out side to shovel and a garage full of vehicles and projects that need attention, and no room to practice your weapon. Sound brutal? Sounds alot like life and training; your Kung Fu. What can possibly drive someone to maximum output and exhaustion and keep them motivated, focused, and strong. Heart. If you don't have this majorly important tool the tendancy to find excuses or quit always comes up with ease and justification. Even if you can't get done what or how much you wanted too, as long as you pulled your weight and did your absolute best, thats your heart working with you. If you have a strong heart and will, your determination alone will lead you through anything and motivate you to better yourself and also many people around you. Intimidation from life and what it can hand you will become easier to handle, because you have the will and the knowledge to kick its ass and leave a trail of pride and self respect. Knowing that you did it, your drive, your Kung Fu. Your heart.
