Yesterday’s Testing Philosophy .
We all make mistakes in life, no matter who we are. Everyone has done things they regret and wish they could take back. But you don't have to personally experience something to learn from it. Pay attention to what's happening around, the people that wallow in sadness they make excuses and find reason to hold their minds stagnant. “Misery love company”
In TaekwonDo we teach when you fall get back up and try again. To master any art or thing that really matters takes work not excuses. TaeKwonDo and martial arts training is about leadership development. This is why it is important to hold students accountable for their actions and they must continue learning to be stronger leaders and stand for what is right and never give up. Again nobody is perfect but we need to constantly work to build a higher level of character. Student must try their best to set a good positive example in our society.
So listen to other people's stories, look at their failures, and learn from the mistakes they made. When you do this, you can safe yourself hardships, time and avoid a lot of suffering yourself. Learning from other people's mistakes is the smart way to live. It helps you steer clear of avoidable errors that could really set you back or worse mistakes that can hurt your own future.
So don't just wait to stumble into pitfalls yourself; look at the mistakes others have made. Study what went wrong and why. Then apply those lessons to help guide your martial art techniques while pushing your life in a positive direction.
The same goes for many successful relationship it is not about two perfect people, it's about two “real people” who choose each other as friends or partners even on the days things feel, exhausting, difficult and imperfect, life is about falling down, standing back up and learning to grow. Nobody is perfect on this earthly plain, but we can achieve excellence through looking beyond ourselves.
Why do some people struggle or feel stress it happens when they feel like they failed, can handle something or are called on their mistakes. Some people basically cannot accept or see their own mistakes or are just are trying to seek perfection, so these behaviors becomes a defensive mechanism. The more a student practices and studies the mind and body become stronger as should their character.
Learning is about accepting mistakes without ego, taking responsibility without running away or quitting. Life is about growing not just for yourself. but for others around you. In the end, it's not perfection that holds any relationship together , it's effort, diligence, work, dedication, perseverance, and understanding.
The willingness to make things better in life and avoiding complacency by striving for success and happiness.
The principle of TaeKwonDo and life.
