What’s Luck Got To Do With It?
Have you ever noticed that some people seem to be lucky because good things happen to them often? Do some people have better luck than others? Maybe. But that’s not something we should sit back and wait for. Instead, we should work on developing Good Habits! A person with good habits will find themselves succeeding in their goals. Not THAT’S something you can rely on!
Martial Arts students learn how to achieve big, long-term goals by setting smaller goals and working toward them in succession. This process becomes a habit of mapping a path and hitting benchmarks on the way to long-term ambitions.
Courtesy and respect for others shows a sense of cooperation, appreciation of others, modesty, and community. In school, courtesy and respect can be shown by helping a struggling classmate or by not ridiculing fellow students when they answer questions incorrectly. Martial Arts students learn to be considerate, show courtesy and respect to others by bowing to greet, recognizing the achievements of others, being quiet and attentive during lectures, giving sincere effort in workouts, or by simply saying “thank you” at the end of the round or class. These are powerful Good Habits!
Martial Arts students learn to become good leaders as their training progresses by showing respect to their instructors, by learning to listen, and by being open to learning new things. This not only applies to leadership in the Martial Arts, but also in the schoolroom and in communities and social circles everywhere. So, don’t sit back and wait for good luck to come along. Work on developing Good Habits within yourself, and YOU will notice a pattern of success!
