Perseverance is life long lesson

I am pretty fortunate in that I can eat breakfast for every meal.  I know it sounds boring but I absolutely love breakfast.  For some odd reason I would take it over any other meal of the day and I am not picky when it comes to breakfast food either.  As long as it is cooked and has some sort of bacon flavored bacon in it I am good.   I guess thats why I have such a stick to it attitude about things especially martial arts.  Some people aren't so stuck in their ways and often they are looking for the next big thing.  Many times when things get tough they get going.  I mean literally.  I lose a few students at each belt testing.  Not because we haven't covered the material in class needed to test or that we haven't give them videos or even the opportunity to have one on one lessons for free to make their goals.  Nope that's not it.  It's the only test I know of that you have 3 months to study for and you already have the answers and people coaching you on what to study.  Nope it's not martial arts or the classes thats the problem.  The problem really is with perseverance.  I once read that Harvard does everything in their power to make sure everyone that wants to put in real effort is met with same level of support so that they can graduate.  That means if you want to do the work they will make sure you get the help you need.  I have used that philosophy for 20 years and up until recently have noticed a change.  Some parents understand that things today are different and that maybe some of things that came naturally to us when we were younger have to be relearned.  I mean Adulting is a thing nowadays where your taught how to sew a button or change a car tire and it's huge on Youtube.  It's not easy to understand that obstacles are meant to teach us if we let them.  That failure happens for us not to us.  Sometimes falling off the bike is the only way we learn balance and sometimes struggling helps to find empowerment.  The thing that you think is problem or is the obstacle really isn't the issue.  The real issue is cultivating the power of perseverance.  I promise you when you do understand that power that life will open up to you in ways you never believed possible.  All good things take time.
