Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. That was the overwhelming notion that ran through my head. I am proud to have made the commitment to join the I Ho Chuan class and look forward to the coming year with some eager nervousness. At first glance, this kind of challenge is like handing a toddler the keys to a Formula 1 car and telling them to win the Grand Prix. Fortunately, with the support of a wonderful family, friends, Sifu's and fellow students, I say lets roll with this!
Now to have a look at my first experience. Over the past couple days in reviewing the requirements for the I Ho Chuan, and beginning with logging pushups, situps and other activities, I ran across a very interesting revelation. The new awareness that journaling has caused regarding Acts of Kindness, revealed the number of times that people have stepped out of their way to help me. Reflecting back on the days, I've observed more acts of kindness to me than what I've dished out. When you make a point of focusing on kindness you see that the world is overflowing with it, and that is really good. Take for instance the fellow student that offered his never worn, brand new Kung Fu Gi for me to use after I had forgotten to pull mine from the washing machine. All I can say is thanks.....1000 times.
Welcome Bro!
