Commitment. I can’t think of my commitment to jiu jitsu beyond the next class. When I do think to far ahead, I worry that I may not be able to do it for the next seven years. I’m going to be honest, this is tough. I get frustrated because life isn’t a straight line. There are other commitments, family and work. I really wanted to go to jiu jitsu this week but because of my kids, last week of summer vacation, no summer camp, and illiness of my daughter, I had to stay home.
When I am there, at the dojo, I leave all my problems in the parking lot, and focus on the practice. For that hour I’m there, I am thankful to not think of bills, bad relationships, debt, and other issues. Since I work at home, I have an opportunity to chat. Before, I was spending a lot of time in isolation.
