Change

Change is hard.
Changing things is even more diffcult when the ones around you oppose the change. It can be too much or mean more work and it is easier to disagree then roll up your sleeves and work together.
Then I realize, this is my perspective. What I want to change seems very diffuclt because the support is not there. I cannot expect others to do what I preech just because I said "make it so".
And so I find myself back to basics. Lead by example.
If my example proves results, even in a minor way, the hope is ,others will support and maybe, just maybe help out.
Change is hard because my will is weak. When you have support you can afford a weakness in your mettle, when you do not have support you have to dig deeper into yourself and forge gently but firmly forward.
Its exciting to think of what can happen when you have both.

Batman and Robin

I was there to help out with renovations at the kwoon but tonite was the first night I was there after the chaos  of reconstruction.
My hats off to Sihing Lindstrom and Weibe for their leadership role. Their hard work surpasses mere tiling and painting, when you view the finished kwoon you can sense the dedication and commitment they put into it. They are truly super heros for what they have produced in such a short time frame. I shall have to call them Batman and Robin from now on. (They can decide which one of them is Robin).
All kidding aside, a fantastic job, I am particularly fond of the womens change room!
Big thanks to you for your sacrifice and hard work. Looks great!

Never be too rigid in your ways. If you set your path without any flexibility you may pass by something amazing.
Keep yourself open to other possibilities, do not have a preconceived idea of what your end result has to be. The end result could far exceed your expectations if you stay humble, versatile and flexible along your steps.
