If I am not mistaken, today is the first that my belt got really wet after the training. Of course it is a common thing to sweat when inside the gym. However, the fact that my sweat reached the extent of making my belt smell (hehehe), proves that I’ve given much to keeping up with the drills. Because I really did my all today. I’m now aiming not to be like this for just today but every training. That’s just a good thing. I say. When training, we do not just do it cleanly. We ought to develop or improve our skills and capabilities. That is why we should give our all in every training, in every drill! Eat clean, train dirty.

Trying to achieve a full front split (just like the depicted), today’s pushing session in the gym actually replicated one in the scene … I’m referring to myself not minding others who could really do the split. However, after that, I’m already a casualty of a pain I actually couldn’t understand the feeling. I thought I just want to stop. But here’s what. I decided not to excuse for the succeeding drills. I tried much in competition with the pain. I hope that was not a wrong move, eyh? :)) Here’s the main thing. I won’t stop as long as I can endure. Even though today I felt like I really couldn’t do it anymore, I will fight this negativity of thinking. Anyway, I enjoy what Taekwondo teaches me. And I also think, I’m loving the pains, the bruises! Goethe says: “Enjoy when you can, and endure when you must.”

Pretty obvious … The subject there is the black belt… What I want to reach … And what I will work hard for. I want it. But knowing my own capabilities, it really seems elusive. It would demand a miracle for me to deserve it. I’m actually willing to work hard for it. And I’m going to squeeze out that miracle out of me. I believe HARD WORK is MIRACLE.

I had always been wanting to be a Taekwondo jin. However, I only got enrolled when I was 16 years old. Up until now, at 18, I'm still a yellow belter. But I don't care for that already. What matters now is that I have set my goal, and I'm only bound to reach it! :))
