Alone on an Island

[terryl965]

When you go to practice do you feel like you are on an island by yourself, what I mean is do you feel you are the only one that understands that day and everybody else is just not getting it?

All the time, I worked out today with an 18 y/o......I have never felt so out of shape, and I just could not get him to understand why I can't kick like that anymore.

I do, but not all the time. Sometimes when I'm like that, I just go inside myself and shut everyone else out, simply for the reason you stated. I also know when I do that, it gets misinterpreted by the people around me, so I try not to make a habit of it. Sometimes though.....

Sometimes I just zone. I cannot help it. Sometimes during class it becomes "All about me" even though Tae Kwon Do is a "Fraternity/sorority" of sorts it is still about personalization and individual accomplishment.

Yeah, sometimes I do. When I went to our National Conference & trained under GM Park, I felt like a white belt all of a sudden. Watching Last Fearner doing forms next to me (doing very well) I really felt alone on an island.

You mean he's highly intelligent, experienced AND can execute?

Okay, that's just not fair...

Only when my wife is not there. She is the only one who ever understands me.
