Leadership and The Voices In My Head

I always gravitate towards those that lead by example. People who's actions bring truth to their words. I have a really hard time listening to people tell me things when their actions and words contradict each other. If someone tells me to do something, that it would be good for me, I need to see that they are doing it so there's an example of where I could be if I do it too. I think that's how we need to lead the school with I Ho Chaun, especially with the big projects. When people see how much fun we have together it brings a vibe to the school that naturally attracts others. When we're doing things out of obligation but would rather be somewhere else, I think other's feel that as well. If we don't want to be there, why would they? I hope that our next school projects end up being just as much fun as Canada Day. If they are, we're going to have people banging on the doors to help.

I've always known my brain was my worst enemy. Sifu Freitag worked on teaching me to calm my mind during sparring class and it made a huge difference. I felt better and was able to learn without berating myself for sucking and getting all frustrated. I really need to learn how to do that on my own. It's going to take alot of practice and I'm not sure how to do it yet but I'm going to try. She could tell when my brain started working against me and immediately told me to shut it off. I'm sure she's not going to want to follow me around to snap me out of my thinking, so I'm going to have to learn my own tricks somehow. Wish me luck, my brain NEVER wants to turn off.

Well, there's my ramblings for the week, have a good one everyone!
