Every path is unique

Sometimes we forget which path we are on, and it can become a challenge to keep going. Sometimes our egos block the way, and sometimes it's a lack of belief in ourselves.

I cannot say how many times I have found myself looking towards my peers, and questioning what I am doing. Why am I not where they are? Why am I here in my training?

That's when I have to look inside, and see who I am without blinders on. We teach the concept of healthy competition and what this means is that I am only competing with myself. Am I better than I was yesterday? If not, then what can I do different so that my outcome is not the same as today? I definitely want to strive to be a better person today than yesterday.

It's not a good idea to compare myself to someone else, as their path is different than mine. There is only 1 me. There is only 1 you. And that is why we each have our own path that is unique to us. We have access to the same tools, but what I need today may not be what you need. This is important to remember, and is something that we too easily forget.

And then there was more

I had the privilege of starting this past week with members of our school involved in a community project. It's always nice to spend time with other like minded people, and to see them outside of the kwoon.

I enjoy stuff like this as it helps me feel more engaged in my training, and with those on a similar journey. It also helps to bring our training out into the world around us, and to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

My journey is my own, however it is always filled with other training mates, students and mentors. While my path is unique to me, I am never alone. There is always someone there to grab my hand and help me find my way again, and it's an honour and privilege to do the same.

I am blessed to be a part of an amazing school, that is changing the world around us, a little at a time.
