"By the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, I dub thee Knight of the Republic." Wow. To say the past few months have been difficult is an understatement. I've been doing this for ten years, but over just the past year, something inside me decided to grow up in a big hurry. I realized I couldn't just drift through the days anymore. If I wanted results, I had to buckle down and push myself beyond my limits. Now I'm 50 pounds lighter than I was when I graduated high school six years ago, and I'm starting to act my age. It's scary, yes, to realize I'm not exactly the goofy teenager I used to be, but it's necessary whether I want it or not. And I'm going to keep growing. I can't get complacent or I won't get any better. I'm going to keep pushing myself to become the man I know I can be. I have a feeling he's going to be a great person. #Hapkido #personalgrowth #gettraughtorgetdead #blackbelt #Jediknight
