Life Lessons
Be Your Own Best Friend.
Life is full of challenges. There is one person in your life who must be your pillar of strength and encouragement. Who is that?
It’s YOU!
Being your own best friend means encouraging yourself to pursue goals and strive for excellence.
Being your own best friend also means holding yourself accountable. We don’t shy away from challenges and we don’t let ourselves develop bad habits. We take care of ourselves.
Push your best friend to be the best you can be. Set goals and face challenges head-on.
Got it? Good. Let’s get to work!
How TO Be Your Own Best Friend.
As martial artists, we face challenges daily. We push ourselves to learn new techniques, build strength, and develop discipline.
And along this journey, it’s important to remember when you make a mistake or face a setback, instead of getting down on yourself, take a moment to reflect on what you will learn from the experience. Learn how to turn a negative into a positive.
So let’s begin today’s class with a commitment to being our own best friends.
Got it? Good. Let’s get to work!
