Changs Taekwondo - Initiative

Hello everyone, we would like to remind all our students they can buy their Taekwondo Night tickets for everyone in the family now, and these tickets are available at all locations including South Surrey, Cloverdale, Tsawwassen and Aldergrove.We've talked about making good goals and resolutions last week, and considering the word of the month it is only fitting that we talk now about:INITIATIVE: I'M A SELF-STARTER.Goal making on it's own isn't enough! We have to summon the initiative to begin our journey; to take the first step.Initiative is similar to other words, such as initial (first letter), and ignition (to start a vehicle say).Now, there are some obstacles to overcome when focusing on your initiative. The first is Fear. Fear holds us back by reminding about failing, falling, succeeding, or maybe it living up to the expectations.The next obstacle is Procrastination, which is when we decide to 'do it tomorrow' or 'I'm too busy right now.' When we channel our initiative we must start right away without exception!Lastly, it may sound odd but Perfection can get in the way of our initiative. There is a quote,"Don't let Perfect get in the way of good." - Voltaire"Better a Diamond with a flaw, then a pebble without." - ConfuciusEven if it isn't perfect, or even the best it could be. For the sake of our initiative, it is a good place to START.**If you want extra stars, you may attempt these objectives:1. Tell your Instructor your fear, and how to beat it.2. Tell your Instructor how you will stop procrastinating.3. Tell your Instructor your plan to not let Perfection get in the way of a good initiative.As always your Instructors would love to hear from you, and will give you a star for each objective cleared.**
