Calming the Mind

Well it's the night before grading and all I'm really doing at this point is working on calming my mind. There's not much else that can be done at this point physically that will make anything involving my Kung Fu change or improve drastically, to attempt this or even consider this would be just plain stupid. No, it's my minds turn to prepare and it runs everything.

I am stratigizing and preparing my plan for the day without really considering or seeing the outcome. Honestly at this point it's irrelevant, the mind needs to be clean and sharp without clutter or extra baggage, streamlined and running clean without any unnecessary emotional out bursts. Emotions aren't invited until after all is said and done, then they can do whatever they; like during a revisit of a path that was just cut, and just what it took to get to this point perhaps. Either way, each and every task must be performed to the best of ones abilities, good or bad, and let go, move to the next. That's where my thoughts are at the moment.

 All that was brought forward to this date needs to be compartmentalized (not sure if this is a word...but it is today) and on standby to be dispatched at the drop of a hat and performed with the heart and focus of a Black Belt. Determination and pushing hard to the destiny must be key with a powerful mind in the drivers seat. As far as I can tell I think everything is ready or it's going to be as ready as it's going to be anyway. I am very excited for tomorrow and look forward to seeing and being tested and observed by some of the most influential individuals in the school, our Sifu's. I hope to do them and the school proud.
