Well Said Sifu . I am Learning that probably the most Important Action in Life is Perseverance and Timing.

I know the surest way to fail is to quit. I don’t want to be a quitter.

[Sifu Adam]

That’s one of the most important things there is. In fact, I say, “the only way to fail at what we do is to quit.” There are several points of compromise we can make along the way – like justifying reasons not to practice or why its ok to not try as hard. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard “life happens”. Then, instead of humbling ourselves and owning those compromises and getting back up and working hard again, we justify those compromises until the only option we have is to justify reasons to quit. That’s why, for me and for those who are truly DRAGON TOUGH, we have no option to quit. Because we know quitting isn’t quitting Dragon Family Wing Chun, its quitting on ourselves. The only option is to humble myself, own my shortcomings and try again.

Absolutely. Wing Chun will always give us what we need the most- as uncomfortable as it is. Most people are not willing to face that, let alone push through it. Wing Chun will make anyone better…if they are willing to pay the price. “To be successful at anything, you don’t have to be special…You just have to be what most people aren’t: Consistent, determined, and willing to work for it.” – Tom Brady

I have found this method to be quite effective in developing mental toughness:

Wow… great share! Right in line with everything we work to do and become through Dragon Family Wing Chun. So much so that you could just as well call this “The Dragon Way”. Rather than fighting harder—it’s about learning to flow, stay centered, and act with calm precision. We work to quiet the chaos in our mind and move with purpose instead of resistance. That’s why what we do is so much more than just self-defense—it’s a path to mastering yourself.

Just found this video. WOW! That is a great way to look at everything in life that makes you feel stressed or uncomfortable. Thank you for sharing it.

Really enjoyed the Lotus video….and several of the others that pop up at the end! Thanks for sharing! The one about becoming immune to both pleasure and pain….meaning don’t let them control you, they both make you weak….I never thought about it that way!
