JUNIOR MESSAGE OF THE WEEK: Goals

cobourg tae kwon do goalsThis week’s Junior message is; Goals

Goals are a great thing to have. We have should and need to have goals in our lives. It is a scientifically proven fact that those who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them.

Goals can be about pretty much anything you want to achieve, own, get, become, and etc,.

There is short term, medium terms, and long term goals. Short term goals can be a part of your long term goals like steps on a stair case or stand on their own like a single step. A short term goal can be just being happy on any given day. A medium term goal can be earning a new belt in Taekwondo. A long term goal can be earning your black belt in three years or a little longer. Never a rush.

Some good goals to have for your junior members are:

  • Doing better in school this year versus last year
  • Being politer to everyone you meet
  • Get physical fit and healthy
  • Earn your next belt in Taekwondo
  • Earn your Black Belt or higher in Taekwondo
  • Work hard for something you really want
  • Develop yourself into the type of person you want to be

What type of goals do you have? What;s your plan to achieve them?

JUNIOR MESSAGE OF THE WEEK: Focus

Cobourg Tae Kwon Do Junior Message of the Week: FocusThis week’s Junior Message of the Week is: Focus

Focus is the ability to fully concentrate on what you are doing with little to no distractions.

Focus is very important in all aspects of our lives as it allows us to get done what is needed to get done.

Focus is what allows us to achieve the things we really want to accomplish.

Focus is a habit and like all habits we have to train it until it becomes second nature. Even after it becomes second nature we still have to mindfully practice it because it is easy to fall out of good practice and become lazy.

So we have to focus on developing and practicing our focus. To be completely in the moment and to fully concentrate on what we are doing.

JUNIOR MESSAGE OF THE WEEK: Happy But Never Satisfied

Cobourg Tae Kwon Do Junior Message of the Week happy but never satisfiedThis week’s junior message of the week is; Happy But Never Satisfied

This means that you can be happy for what you have accomplished but you are always striving to better yourself. If you get 90% on a test at school, you should be proud of yourself but strive for that 91% or higher on the next test. If you become content with where you are, you will stop growing. WHen you stop growing you start to slide backwards because you can’t stand still in one spot.

One should always that the time to celebrate the things we have accomplished, done, earned, and etc,. There is no point in doing them if you can’t take a moment to feel good about it. Take your moment to feel good, then plan how you can do better or move on to the next big thing you got your eyes on.

Also always be happy with what you got because others might have less. You also must never compare yourself to others as this will rob you of happiness. Life is not about getting ahead of someone else. Life is about ever improving yourself and your situations. Walk your own path and not follow the paths of others.

Be Happy with what you have and what you have done but never be satisfied unless you have accomplished everything you wish to do so.

JUNIOR MESSAGE OF THE WEEK: Bring Out The Best

Cobourg Tae Kwon Do Junior message bring out the bestWhat do world class coaches, teachers, instructors, training partners, and etc,. all have in common? They have the ability to bring out the best in their athletes, students, partners, friends, and so on.

We all should strive to bring out the very best in each other. We don’t have to be coaches or teachers. We just have to be there to encourage others to overcome all challenges and give it their very best every time.

What would happen if we all did that? I believe we would live in a much greater motivated society. A lot more great things would be accomplished. People in general would be happier.

I think it is our jobs as humans to bring out the best in ourselves and help bring out the best in others.

I think we should take a few moments to think about these two things. 1- Who brings out the best in us? 2- Who can we bring out the best in?
