Let’s all remember the Bump Run at the OP on 12/26 @630

Also, in case anyone forgot, Super 8 wanted to remind us all that today is Christmas!

Today, let’s focus on family and their presence, not the presents.

Naked Man Moleskin

I was inspired to get off my hind quarters and get out and do my second Q when I saw that only two AOs were going on Christmas. It gets easier every time.

A quote that I saw that really resonated with me for getting out more and pushing myself comes from Musashi Miyamoto (author of the Book of Five Rings):
“There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”

We have to get out there, do the work, make ourselves better. No one is going to make us better, no one is going to do the work for us. We lift each other and provide encouragement, but if we slack, don’t focus on form and cheat our exercises, the one who knows and who is cheated is ourselves, not our fellow PAX.
