Breaking
..from a note submitted by a deshi, Bushi Dojo ,
Arigato,
Kyoshi Robert Scaglione.
Bill Nicholson, Yon Kyu writes:
In the past week, I have been having quite a simplistic, yet
mind-blowing experience. The words that Kyoshi spoke in class about
THOUGHTS, about being positive, and thinking yourself into failure or
success have been resonating a lot with me lately. It is one thing to
hear & listen to them, but it is quite another to actually experience
them.
The first occasion this happened to me was when I was breaking
during the test on Sunday. As I stepped up, everything slowed down and
there was not a single thought in my mind....when in came one single,
solitary, powerful thought..."I am going to break right through the
three of you." And that was the moment I struck...so I knew before I
even swung my arm up in the air that I was going to break the boards.
And that simple little moment is very, very profound because that same
principle applies to every, every single aspect of our lives.
You cannot allow negative thoughts in or you will fail.
It all just seemed
to make sense at that moment and I must say things have been on the up
and up since, because I am thinking positively and have actually
experience it in a pure moment of conscious action.
I'm just glowing in the aftermath I suppose, but I know this is something that will stick. I want to say thank you to Kyoshi, Sensei Barnes, and everyone else for training hard and showing up and teaching.
Arigato!
