Lately it's felt like I've been stuck at a dead end as far as sparring. My instructor tells me I have great kicks but they don't come out during sparring. He also has had to repeatedly remind me not to hesitate and let my opponent push me back while I merely block or dodge. I don't know if it was the inspiring horoscope I read yesterday or what, but last night things just sort of clicked for me. Something just felt different. I usually just keep up with the higher ranking belts, but last night I dominated all of my opponents except for our top black belt, but even against him I feel I did better than usual. For all of you who don't know, it is my goal to make it on the Guam national team once I achieve my kukkiwon rank. I wasn't feeling so good about reaching this goal the last couple weeks, but last night was a nice lift that I needed to follow through with that dream. The horoscope went something like this, by the way:
"You are so close to winning, but also just as close to losing. To win, keep going. To lose, all you have to do is give up."
