Perseverence!

There’s no way you can reach your goals without one important ingredient: Perseverance.  Everybody faces challenges.  It’s having perseverance that pulls you through.  What does perseverance mean to you?  To me it means:

• Sticking to your goals no matter what it takes…
• Never giving up…
• Hanging in there when the going gets tough (and it will!)…
• Not allowing negative, outside influences get the best of you…
• Using positive “self-talk” and visualizing your goals…
• Putting forth the best effort you can muster at any one time…
• Striving for your best outside of class: at home, in school, with your friends and family as well as in your community…
• Giving that “little bit more”: throwing one more kick, punch or doing one more technique…even when you’re tired and don’t feel like it…
• Practicing your forms at home

I want you to use perseverance when working on your forms.  When you have the habit of great perseverance, you’ll reach your goals that much faster!
