Hello everyone It has been awhile and I am sorry for that. I have been thinking a lot about what is my next step in life right now is gonna be. I worried and crammed to finish school, then I had no job, and at was job hunting for a week, then I get a job with really strange shifts. I am told they will become normal soon enough, but just need to adjust for 2 weeks. I think myself incredibly lucky yo have not only found a job, but found a job in what I want to do in life as a career; an electrician.
Then I start to think what am I gonna do in my kung fu life. I would have to say this year in I ho chaun has been a hard one for me to stay engaged with my kung fu. I still love it and know the wonderful opportunity's kung fu provides me, yet I do not take them. I have gain quite a bit if weight since my school days. Which has made doing the kung fu I love harder for me.
I guess you could say I have lost motivation to continue to strive for better things for myself in kung fu. I won't quit though because I already made that mistake once. I like to think that I have it under control in what I want to do in life and kung fu, but what I lack is action. I wake up tired and unmotivated to want to do anything, but in the back of my mind I know I should do something. Then what ends up winning is the side that did not want to do anything, because I am to tired.
Kung fu has taught me so many valuable lessons, that I just can't give up on something that has truly changed my life for the better. I have great friends I hang out with, and have amazing family of other martial artists that want to achieve the extraordinary. My life goal is to achieve the extraordinary and in order to so I went back to basics and thought what does kung fu mean, it means HARD WORK. It is just two words hard work, but the power behind these words could change your life. Most people are just not naturally good at something. Most of the time they became really good or accomplished something all through the power of working hard. Almost everything we have today in our society was built around hard work of people, who were willing to do the hard work to accomplish the extraordinary.
I vow to start working hard in my life and my kung fu and start using the tools around to become the best martial artist I can become. That is it for now so remember everyone ordinary people extraordinary action.

There are a lot of electrical companies out there. You can still keep looking for something with more regular hours while you are working. You'll get passed that hurdle once you get experience. You'll find your balance. Don't give up!
