Inspiration

I thought a lot about inspiration this week. How it influences your choices and shapes your life. People get inspired by many different things.

What and who you surround yourself with affects what inspires you. I think this is important and is a decision that should not be taken lightly.

Spending more time at the kwoon is a decision I am glad I made. I am surrounded by many people who inspire me to do my best. I look at the black belt candidates and see some very dedicated young people working toward a worthy goal.

Watching them these past months has inspired me to kick my training up a notch. I am seeing in them where I could potentially be this time next year, this is a scary realization. Scary and exhilarating!  This goal of becoming a black belt and continuing my training further is much closer than I thought.

I am aware that I need to keep my thoughts in the present, but I am excited at the prospect of a successful and inspirational year to come.
