JUMANJI IS NOT A MOVIE.

Everything that happens to us happens because of a choice we made.

What is this thing we do?

THIS WING CHUN THING .

Before we respond, we must answer a different question. 

What do we think this thing does?

And before that, we must ask, ‘for what reason did I choose to push my Canoe down this particular stream’?

It was always OUR choice.

I have helped enough people on this journey to know, without any doubt or malice, that most people lose sight of what they want to do the moment they are told what they need to do.

Most.

Not all.

But we must not, even for a single second, place ourselves with the ‘Not all’ as opposed to the ‘Most’.

But we will.

I did.

I still do.

If we do not choose to think in this way, how do we proceed?

 How do we go forward?

This – is the WORK.

Who is at fault here?

The teacher that says ‘This is the way”?

Or the student that does not listen and so does not hear?

This – is the WORK.

As I have already said…

It was always our choice.

This is not some new age, Kung Fu Master, Zen shit.

This is not Mindfulness.

Everything that happens to us happens because of a choice we made.

It may have appeared as a small choice.

I will get the train and save the cost of Taxi.

Even smaller, I will turn left onto Goulburn Street.

A few moments later it is like that early Batman series, “Boom, Bash, Crash, Capow.”

Who created the violent situation that occurred a few moments later?

We did.

IF WE WERE NOT THERE IT WOULD NOT/COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

Open your mind before employing your preferred bias.

Face it.

That other dude did not make us take the train.

That other dude did not make us turn left.

Deal with it.

Understanding this, accepting this, controlling this…

… is the WORK.

Wing Chun is just a method to use the WORK.

IN THE WORLD OF THE BLIND.

THE ONE EYED IS KING.
