Changing

In my education (I am talking about education not school) over my life I have learned that to make permanent  change you need to do something within 48 hours of learning something new and then do it at least 21 times to make it a permanent change in your life.  (Although it takes more than 21 times for the more difficult things).  I have this is true in business, relationships, sports and in personal improvement.

I have been debriefing boot camp this morning.  I have a large bruise on my right shine, a bruise on my upper left bicep, extremely sore shoulders and finding it tough to bend.  In my mind last night on the drive home I thought why do I do this to myself.  This morning with sober thought and a good night sleep I came to an answer.  I want to improve myself.  And having working on myself over the years the real permanent change has been due to implementing hard changes and working on them constantly.

I am not where I want to be as a person or a martial artist but as long as I work on it each day I am achieving what I want to accomplish:  to become better than I was yesterday.

I appreciate all the effort that all the Sifu's and participants put into boot camp as it made it an incredible day in my life,
