TEAM WOLVERINE RESULTS AT 2015 US OPEN, WBA WORLDS, ISKA WORLDS

Good Morning

Here is the results for Team Wolverine from the 2015 US OPEN, WBA Worlds, and ISKA Worlds. Our team did great in spite the more competitive divisions in the advance and black belt divisions in recent years. It was nice to see more black belts in the teen divisions as well as in the adult female divisions. Each year brings new challenges and we are always up for the challenge. Win or Learn, we do our best!

Thanks to the USBA/WBA and the ISKA for putting on world class competitions.

RANDON KINDNESS

When was the last time you did some random act of kindness or courtesy for someone else with no expectations of anything in return?

Do you remember the last time you were on the receiving end of one? Do you remember how good it felt?

Why not pass along that good feeling to someone else? You know when you do that that person most likely will pass it along too!

Whatever behaviour or attitude you have with someone at any moment could be pass along to many people. So why not pass along a positive and generous attitude?!

WIN OR LOSE, IT DOESN’T MATTER

Whether you win or lose, does not not really matter.

No one is keeping track or recording stats on you.

And if they are, that is their concern not yours. You should be flattered that they are showing that must interest in you.

But no, what really matters is the effort you put forth. Did you give it your all, your 100%?!

It’s the fact that you are willing to try and risk failure which is more important. Putting yourself on the line and out there for all to see.

Your spirit grows as you challenge yourself against your own self doubts.Rise above what you believe is impossible and make it possible.

One is not measured by how successful they are against others but by how successful they have become against themselves.

Life is not a scoreboard of wins and loses. Life is too short to care about silly things like that.

YOUR JOURNEY IS YOUR JOURNEY

The journey you travel throughout your life is your own unique journey and not of anyone else.

You cannot compare your journey to others nor should you.

Each and every single person has their own unique path in which they follow.

Your path is not comparable to someone else’s.

Your accomplishments are different than others. You may see what you have achieved more important than someone else’s and they will do the same for theirs. It’s all the same.

No two people an ever have the same journey. Too many factors are involved like past life experiences, present attitudes, current life situations, and so on.

Someone might achieve more in one area of their life and another person will achieve more in different areas. Ultimately it does not matter who does what to anyone else.

You should be focused on the quality of your journey and not of others. Their journey is not your journey.

Don’t compete with others. Life is not a competition.
