Kai makes us better people
We were mock testing today and I got to the the caller (first time actually). This gave me a really good seat right up front where I could see everything.
As I was watching the senior students run through their tests, I realized something. When we step up to that line and were are ON, we become better people. We are intent, focused, confident, formidable and disciplined. We become what we aspire to be.
The question remains - how to bring this into "real" life? In the martial arts I know we are trying to "make your dojo stance your everyday stance and make your everyday stance your dojo stance. "
But that is oh so difficult.
