"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao Tzu. For me this is symbolic of the path that I chose to take at the beginning of the Year of the Sheep. It is no coincidence that one of the requirements is 1609 km or 1000 miles. Every goal is possible from a single step.
Start with a single step and become an active participant in your kung fu, your health, your relationships, your family, your community, the environment and the world around you. By choosing to be an active participant in your own life and life in general, mediocrity becomes a thing of the past. Not only does mediocrity decrease, we also gain the ability to prevent difficulties, sense disorder coming and manage it in advance. Participation in life is a key element to pursuing mastery.
I have gained a greater understanding this past year of what it means to not live with mediocrity and to pursue mastery. I have begun to connect the dots between what I've accomplished and done throughout my I Ho Chuan year, and how it translates to all areas or my life. One day at a time, one moment at a time, one step at a time.
Welcome monkeys to a brand new exciting year!
