Need to focus with a little more intent. Its right there all time. I have heard from others on the team from last year that the summer is the toughest time to train and remain focused. I never thought I would really have a problem with the time of year. Due to some major changes in my life I find myself lacking that next gear, but its right there. With major change comes inspiration that I am starting to tap into. I am about to start the third quarter of the process. The second quarter had many success and many failures, the third is going to be riddled with success. I am sure I have a break through in my training and cant wait to explore it further. The true constant is my regular Monday and Wednesday morning class. I have only missed 3 classes since my last vacation in November. That class really is the glue that holds it all together for me. That class never allows me to stray to far from the path. Cant wait for Monday…

The weeks are not getting any easier but are making more sense. The week started with work related outings and have ended in sickness. No classes Monday and then by mid week issues with breathing means lack of training. I did get an hour in yesterday, much needed. Will need a new focus next week starting with class on Monday and a good run after. Many personal changes going on and because of UBBT I think I am seeing much more clearly. My understanding of self has never been greater. This week the major topic of discussion in my circles (small circle) was beginnings middle and ends. I have chosen to start to only deal with beginnings and middles the end will be the result of those two. Its time to put the past in the past and move on. The now is pretty good. My sickness will past and each day is a new one. Looking forward to a great week on so many levels.

Right now I feel like I am on the outside looking in. For the first three months I was on the inside looking out. Due to life getting in the way I feel as if I have a cape of secrecy on. One thing I thought I was not going to have any issue was blogging. Most of the time blogging is about reflection and goal setting. At this time I am living it and not ready to reflect on it. It has been mentioned that at times UBBT members feel alone without direction. I have never felt that if anything I feel there is always something or someone to refer to. I asked a fellow UBBT member that I really look up to how his UBBT was going. He looked at me and smiled and said OK. That's exactly how I felt. Then as the day has gone on and I analyze my process the better I feel about it. It is way better then OK. It actually is pretty great I am never without a next step. I am never without direction I have twenty others that inspire me regularly whether they know it or not. Sure there are things I am have failed at or am going to fail, but its the hidden realizations and procces that truly is moving me forward. Brady Young

Had a pretty good week. Highlights, preparing for the tiger challenge and trying to find time to re focus on my goals. All of the personal achievements aside. The truly inspiring hard to measure part was the pitch in Canada beatification program. Sifu Reiger put this together again this year. This was the first year I participated. We as a group adopted a park in Stony Plain which also extended to the highway. In a few groups we picked up garbage left over from winter and careless disposal. In only an hour and a half we had covered our complete area, Due to the good turn out of Silent River faithful. I worked with the group that had most of the kids. I am humbled watching my five year old spend his Saturday morning walking along the highway picking up garbage. Along with garbage pick up Oliver has help me with the driveway we adopted this year and came out numerous times to help remove snow. I am so incredibly happy he is part of this journey with me. I am sure it will enrich his life with compassion and empathy.

Today I get to blog about an act of kindness kind of. The day started off normal. Dropped Oliver off for school and headed to my Monday morning kung fu class. I was already in a pretty good mode, so I decided to stop at starbucks and grab a coffee before class. Driving through the parking lot a large SUV came flying into the intersection somewhat cutting me off. Normally I would have been perturbed. For some reason I just smiled and waved her through. Then she beat me into the drive thru line up, still I am calm. I don’t know what had come over me. I decided to clean the inside of my truck while I waited. Then she uses interact again normally this would start a tangent sorry sometimes I am shallow. I make it to the window and the lady at the window says” HAPPY MONDAY”. Then tells me the lady in the SUV says sorry for cutting you off and bought your coffee. WOW! Today was a great day. It’s the little things.
