Is someone sitting on me?

Just when things are looking up, someone sits on you. Or just adds a little bit more to your plate.

We are tested all the time. Our mettle is tested just with life’s curveballs. Tests can be as simple as a change, small or big. It could be added expenses brought on by an unplanned event, or a fallen tree. In Kung Fu, we are tested all of the time. As a student and an instructor. As a student, we are evaluated constantly by our instructors. They need to see where we are, and what we might need to improve. As an instructor, we are tested in our ability to adapt and assist our students. All of it is good, as this is how we grow, how we improve ourselves.

It really, it boils down to how we choose to react. Is this an opportunity? Or is someone just sitting on you?
