Steps

There is a balance to life. Eventually the priorities you had in years past are accompanied by new ones and you can't spend as much time as you like on them.

When you need to spend less time than you wish to on training, that does not necessarily mean that it suffers. If you keep the essence and the intensity of your training as pure as it was, it does not suffer, to a point of course. You will progress slower, but the quality of your progress will remain at a high level. If you train less AND put less effort in then your training will suffer faster.

This is why it is also vital to take what you learn in kung fu and apply it to everything else. Those new priorities that are popping up in your life, take them on with the enthusiasm that you train with. Use the principles of accountability and compassion that you learn in the kwoon and take it into the real world. Everything you do is kung fu if you work hard at it.

Is that not what kung fu means in the first place?
