5 minutes at a time

Hey folks,

From watching Grand Master Evins video on Facebook, it seems some folks might be losing heart. If you are reading this and are dreading one more push up, pomsae, or self defense, rest assured you are not alone. Sometimes knowing that we are all struggling and have those moments of "Why am I doing this?" really helps. Let me tell you, once you pull through that tunnel and start seeing the light, and realize it's not a train, then it all becomes worth it. Remember, this isn't something that is a chore on your daily lists of things to do. This is a personal challenge to yourself that if you dig deep enough, there is nothing you can't do. A few lessons I learned during my Air Force days was don't worry about tomorrow, focus on what the next five minutes brings. I have been pushed to what I thought I was my breaking point before, only to discover that I can always raise the bar on my new breaking point. If our instructors asked us if we have had enough, or are we completely smoked, we would answer, Never! Even when your broken, beaten, exhausted beyond belief, you can still muster something more in order to survive. That will separate you from everyone else. We are amazing creatures created by a loving Father, who will use our suffering, fatigue, and pain for a better purpose and a stronger you. Hopefully something here helped. Use this forum and tell us what you're going through. Once it's off your heart and mind, you will step through a new threshold. Rock On!
