Emotion

Emotion is a funny thing. It can be a distraction or a very useful tool.

When you let your emotions get out of hand, you begin to lose control of your reactions to outside influences. You may make rash decisions and sometimes end up regretting them in the end, which is itself a dangerous emotion to feel.

Emotions also have the power to focus and inspire. When you are fully invested in something, you develop an emotional attachment to it. That attachment drives you to further invest yourself and create something extraordinary.

I greatly invest my emotion in my kung fu. It has been an unyielding ground for me in a constantly changing world. In return, I put all the emotion possible into it. From something as simple as a pushup, to attempting to perfect a form or technique, to helping a student reach their full potential, I embrace it completely.

When you are fully invested, it is noticable. In your actions, words and even your expressions. It makes the difference between, "Hey, that was pretty good.", to, "Wow, that was mind blowing!" It shows that your really care about what you are doing and what it stands for.

Share to the world how much this means to you through your expressions. It will awe and inspire others to achieve their own greatness.
