Greetings!
The key to sticking with something long term is Passion. If you truly love what you are doing, you won't quit. Even when it gets tough. Even when it's challenging. If you love what you do, you will never give up. To be great in the martial arts, you have to love it. You have to stick with it long term.
If passion is the key to sticking with your training, how can you be sure to keep it burning bright? I have a quick hit list to help you:
1.) Hit the Mats! By simply going to class, even on days that you've had a hard day at work, you never get "out of sight, out of mind."
2.) Set Realistic Goals! Frustration is the enemy of passion. Don't set your bar too high and get angry when you don't reach it. Set small, attainable goals for each class.
3.) Pay attention to progress! It's so important for YOU to realize you are getting better! Each victory helps feed your passion.
4.) Love the Process! Learn to enjoy the JOURNEY of getting good at the martial arts. Relish in the amazing changes you are making as a person.
Passion drives us to be our very best. Do everything you can to keep yours alive!
I truly hope you gained some benefit from this today!
All the Best!
COACH
