The countdown continues until testing and the only question is how you spend your time until then. I continue to try to balance my responsibilities as a parent, as a husband, and as an employee with the requirements of the cycle and it's not even easy at all. Throughout the journey, at least one has suffered and I honestly put my TKD last among those because it is important but not as important as caring for my family and making sure that I am doing right by them. I wish that I had more time in the day to spend but that's not how life works. We all have a finite amount of time and the only question is how you spend it. Make sure you are spending it so that you don't have any regrets and you are focused on the most important things in your life. Only you can determine that.
