Our word this week is Acceptance. It is said that one of the most difficult things in life is the acceptance of things you cannot change or control. I feel that what is more difficult is recognizing the difference. A lot of times we worry about things outside of us that we have little control over, but what we can control is what we do about it. Acceptance is not simply allowing things to happen, regardless of how you feel. It is changing what you do about the situation. You could choose to constantly be upset by the transition, or you can choose to learn and grow with it. Whichever one you choose will be what your mind’s default reaction will be to new changes perhaps more difficult than the current one. You can train your mind by practicing your own chosen reaction. Accept that you can’t change everything, but you can change what you do about it. Something to ponder for the next week.
Until then, train hard,
Head Instructor Shawn Morris
