Self Aware


Everyone has goals and ambition but without self-awareness, progress can be elusive. This is why many fail to recognize the difference between activity and progress. Activity is RPMs and progress is km/H. Both require a lot of work but only one gets you to where you want to go. 


With kung fu, like anything one wishes to master, success is all about taking consistent, meaningful action. I usually only mention the consistent action but the meaningful aspect is assumed. If you recognize that you need more flexibility in your hamstrings to improve your kung fu, spending all your training time focused on pushups is not going to get you to where you want to be, no matter how hard you work. 

We all want certain things. Unfortunately we’re not always willing to do what needs to be done to earn what we want. If that is the case we need to retool our attitude or change our goals.
