New Year 2012

As we enter the New Year many set goals and come up with resolutions. There is positive feeling and atmosphere at this time of year so it is good to take advantage of it. Very often we like to be able to measure the degree of success we have had by a timeline. We like to put date stamps on things so we can catalogue our memories. For this, New Year is a great time to set goals. We can assess ourselves at this time and reflect over an easily remembered period of time from one New Year to the next.

Take this time to reflect on your Taekwon-Do. Where do you see yourself in a year’s time from now? Set your Taekwon-Do goals and strive to reach them in this time frame. Think of how you would like to be performing and get a picture so clear in your mind that it is almost tangible. With the correct dedication to your training it will be real in no time!

This said, I believe any type of goal setting and implementation of positive change in one’s life is good, but we should not reserve this practice only to New Years. Goal setting and change should be done whenever we feel the need to better ourselves and not reserve it to only once a year. In any journey to great achievement we are bound to fall off the horse a few times. This should not distract us from our ultimate goal! With a bit of evaluation and perhaps a change in strategy we need to be able to pick ourselves back up and carry on towards our destination always remembering what the end game is. It is no good to have the attitude of “Oh well! I’ll try again next year”. Change doesn’t come with a date; it comes with an attitude of action and indomitable spirit. Don’t wait for tomorrow what can be done today.

Implement plans to achieve your goals. Set routines. It is always more difficult to form good habits than to break them. With your dedicated Taekwon-Do training good habits should be formed which will spill over into your life and will help you to achieve your personal goals.

Happy New Year to you all. I wish you all the best in your Taekwon-Do and your lives.

Strength and Will Power!

Taekwon!
