Do!

Miyamoto Musashi once said that tomorrow's battle is won during today's practice. These words have never been more true than in today's society. Let them permeate into the deepest part of your brain and think about all the times during a day when you should be doing something to prepare for tomorrow. If it is work, or a school assignment we can often find every excuse in the book (not our school books) to put it off because it's not very much fun or will require too much mental effort. Todays challenge: Do!
Do not overthink the things you must do today to be ready for tomorrow, just do them. This dedication will help cultivate good habits and prepare you for a lifetime of success. As a martial artist, this ability to do and not procrastinate are essential.

  1. Wise words indeed Sensei. Our tomorrows are indeed forged on the anvil of today. But we are not just shaping tomorrow with our actions today, we are shaping our future. If you procrastinate your work, you procrastinate your future.
