But I'm going to take some time to blog about what I had in my mind earlier on.
When Bryan said that he couldn't do a single pull up last time, I thought about myself too.
And I had the same experience.
Back in April, I was the type of person who always said to myself that I couldn't do this and that and I will never be able to do whatever that thing was.
It started to change.
It being my mindset.
When I just entered Taekwondo, the master wanted to see our flexibility and strength.
One of the required things that he wanted us to do was to do a certain number of push up.
The moment he said that, without thinking it through, I blurted "I don't want to. I can't do a single push up. I have never did a proper push up and I just can't."
When my master heard that, he told me straight that I can't because I have had that mindset in my mind all along.
And he made me do the number of push ups he wanted.
I did.
Now, I can do more than 30 easily.
I know that they are not perfect but hey, from zero to a few tens?
That's an achievement.
And I'm proud of myself.
& I want to thank my master for changing my mindset and the way I look at a challenge in front of me.
From that moment onwards, I looked at things and life differently.
Maybe we just need to see every thing in different views/perspectives.
Also, we have to start from deep within us.
Our subconscious, our mind, our thoughts, and our hearts.
If you feel that you are not capable of doing something.
There is no chance that you will succeed in it.
Even if you could, you wouldn't.
If you start thinking..
"Hey, it's not that hard.",
"It's worth a try.",
"Maybe I'll achieve something.",
"Who knows that I can do it?",
"How would I know if I can or can't do something without trying it out?"
"No pain, no gain right?"
If you can have these little questions and encouragement for yourself, you would see how great you are at things that you are new to.
We are growing every day, every hour, every minute and second.
Discovering our talents within us is not a surprise.
But before actually realizing what we have in us, we need to take that first step.
The truth is that people are just afraid to do things that they are unfamiliar with.
I don't lie, I am like that too.
Everyone of us are.
But sometimes we just need to get out of that shell and try something new.
By doing so, we would receive something so special inside that nothing can describe it.
Like Jenny said..
If he/she can do so, I can do so too.
Just want to share 2 verses that I really liked from today's session.
Job 3:25 For what I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.
Maybe we shouldn't fear for every little thing that comes our way.
Maybe we should be strong and face it and deal with it.
Also,
Matthew 6:22-23 The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness.
Just wanted to share a little something.
And this is it.
I don't know if it makes sense to you, you or you.
I sincerely hope that it does, but if it doesn't..
I'll be glad to explain what I mean.
Have a blessed day everyone.
Goodnight and don't forget to pray.
God bless.
Xoxo.
