Why I think Newton’s A Genius
With just that, and I don’t speak
only for myself for the world recognizes such fact as true, I strongly believe
that Newton
is a Genius.
But it doesn't stop there. Two days
ago, a good friend of mine, who apparently is a genius himself as well, invited
me to go to KarateDo training while I was in the middle of Yoga Practice. I’ve
always wanted to try Karate before, and I only had the chance that day. And
guys, if you’d like me to sum up the whole experience in one word, it would be,
“surreal.”
You may ask why.
For one, they have a
Sensei.
Well, it’s
not that. HAHA.
I was opened to this world of discipline, focus and immense
dedication to something. And for that
night, it was the Art of Karate. Every single breath, body movement and
training, every single leg squat, push up, arm punch, arm brush – every single
one of them, is directed to achieve a certain goal.
It was as if
dancing, in a stricter manner of course, in which every step brings you in
harmony with the music, and as with Karate, every single movement brings you
deeper into the practice – making you stronger and able to perform ka-tas with such mind blowing precision
and flow. That’s how I see it observing not only our Sensei but also fellow
students as well.
To attain such requires not only a
strong physique but also a positive and enduring mental attitude.
“Pain is something that you create and feel in your mind.” That’s
what our Sensei said.
This is where I came to realize how genius of a person Newton
is. I mean, he knew it all along. It was never a Secret. For in everything we
think, we feel and we do, there is an equal and opposite effect, or reaction..a
result..
No wonder Mr. Cookie Man( whom I’ve known for almost two and
a half years now from that fortunate meeting in a connecting flight to
Washington ) had always told me to be INTENTIONAL. And so should you. That’s
why I’m sharing this with you cause I believe that once a person fully awakened
and tapped into our potential, the possibilities of the experiences and things one
could create are ENDLESS.
First step is AWARENESS of the TRUTH. That everything is
ENERGY.
If you want to be the BEST in something, be it Yoga (call me
biased haha I LOVE YOGA), Karate, Swimming, Boxing, or even in school and at
work, you’ve got to recognize that how far you could go and the best you could
be LIES WITHIN YOU.
Yet, there’s such a concept of LETTING GO. It’s about finding
that balance between doing the BEST that you can, training your mind, body and
soul to have the skill, discipline and most importantly heart to achieve what
it is that you want, and at the same time, trusting in that the tumblers of the
Universe, would bring you to Your Path.
I find that striking that balance of Doing and Surrender
quite as a Challenge and it’s that thrill of the journey that keeps me
going, that keeps me trusting.
So, take the time and think of something that YOU want to be EXTREMELY GOOD AT.
As with KarateDo, I remember asking our Sensei..
“What is IT’S end goal? “
To defeat oneself, he replied.
And with that, I took one deep
breath, and did an EXTRA 10 more sets of beginner’s push ups. ;)
