May Mayhem

This post will have to be short and to the point as things tend to start very early these days and carry on later than usual. My work is coming along well and the action really opens up full throttle tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, the challenge will definitely be there and the mindset of mastery shall be front and centre. I'm going to be on my own again for a bit. This is nothing new and as I stated before this has served me well in some instances, but in others cases it didn't. I don't want to go down this road again, and fortunately I have been through enough of the trial and errors to recognize this, so I know what not to do.

I spoke of a plan last week that I was going to put forward to maintain and advance my Kung Fu while under an aggressive work schedule. It's not really overly complicated as I am running this year on keeping the mindset of "keep it simple stupid", because it works. Just freakin' do it. But one thing that is going to be part of it is demon training. It has to be done right now to load things up in order to maintain a consistent and even flow. There has to be a quick acceleration here in order to do it. Now one could look at this and say, this is a recipe to burn out and possibly entice a disasterous outcome because it may become unsustainable. But as I spoke before, this is a an investment and an investment requires extra effort and work. You just don't parachute into mastery, that's a fact.

So in order for this to happen what I have planned to do, is no matter what the circumstances, I will take 1 hour a day on focused and intense Kung Fu training. I am scheduled to have one day off a week. So on this day I will take 2 hours to myself and Kung Fu. I'm on 12 hour days, but if I'm off early for some reason or don't have to work, I head to the kwoon. If I feel like this isn't working than I'll have to change it. If I start to get pissed off, I will contact my go to people for advice and some direction. The biggest part for me will be to avoid the isolation in this particular case. I'm not good at asking for help, and it's my problem, people have their own stuff to deal with. But you see it's this mindset that will throw a whole year of investment down the drain. It's this mindset that will remove the focus of my goals and my intent. This is part of change, part of being on a team, part of reaching your goals and most importantly, part of becoming a better person by sharing those moments to strengthen yourself and others through example. I guess we'll see. See you at the Kwoon
