Four days into 2023…

Various family members and friends have discussed and made our 2023 resolutions through the past 4 days. With varying levels of difficulty.

I tried to keep mine simple… and measurable…

25,000 YouTube Subscribers

100 Taekwondo practitioners training at my Dojang

Spending 10 minutes of special time with each of my three daughters every day.

Here’s how it’s going…

POORLY!

All except the special time every day with my daughters.

I have boiled that resolution down to it’s smallest chunk, and simplest to execute.

Did I, or did I not spend 10 minutes with each little girl each day?

Yes or No.

(The answer is yes so far!👍🏻)

The other resolutions?

They are long term resolutions… so I feel as thought sometimes I am

…not moving forward

…moving too slowly

…will never make this happen in 360 days

…not knowing how to make it happen

The list goes on and on!

Steven Pressfield says this is called ‘Resistance.’

This Resistance will shoot you dead!

This Resistance will do everything in it’s power to stop you from achieving your goals and pushing toward a better version of you.

The only way to beat it is to

SHOW UP

DO THE WORK

Isn’t that what Taekwondo training is all about?

Showing up and training each day, each week, each month of the year.

Slowly creeping toward the black belt… almost imperceptibly moving…

Until you achieve your dream!

The coloured belts… the various Dan/Poom degrees… each helping you realize your progress.💪🏻

So that’s what I intend to do, just show up!

WITHOUT judging myself based on the outcome.

Make good quality YouTube videos that provide real VALUE to the viewers

Instruct good quality Taekwondo classes so the practitioners can’t help but tell their friends!

I’ll be checking back in with you all as Spring hits, to see how the progress is going.
