I had a powerful realization today. While training some junior belts, I noticed one, a high-school aged young woman, was watching me closely. Everything I said and did was watched closely. I saw how much potential I had to build her up, or tear her down.
It’s sobering and humbling. Knowing how nuch influence I have. I love the idea that a few well placed positives: words, smiles, can add so much to her life. And screwing this up can really mess things up.
Long ago, I pledged to be powerfully positive. Seeking, still, to master that. But I’m moving forward.
You ever had such an epiphany?
