Ep 36 - Focus on the Awesome, Not the Work
from Michael's Motivation Hosted by Michael Whitehouse
I just completed my Yellow Belt test at Mystic Dojo - Yamashita International Karate. Yellow Belt is a relatively low level, so I'm still learning basics. During the test, I got to watch the higher ranks test as well. They are impressive. They are quick, strong, powerful. As I was watching, I realized how much work it must take to get there. While the lower ranks were told to sit, the advanced ranks continued on for more than an hour. Kicking. Punching. Doing kata and bunkai. It looked exhausting. Part of me said, "I don't know if I want to go that far. That looks hard." But the other part said, "That's why we're here. That looks awesome." Has this ever happened in your life? Have you pulled back because something seemed too hard? Too much school? Too much work? Too much risk? To much fear? You know what the crazy part is. Most times, when you push past that fear and actually do it, the result turns out to be more awesome, and the pain so much less than you expected. Want to talk about how to focus on the awesome?
