Have you ever noticed how some people are always so eager? They’re eager to learn and grow; Eager to train and improve their skills and conditioning; Eager to help and serve others; Eager to work productively and get ahead. Eagerness is an excellent quality to possess. In Tang Soo Do, when you display an eager attitude, it opens doors and creates opportunities that you may not experience if you lacked eagerness.
Have you noticed when you show an eager interest in others, they tend to show you the same. This is often referred to as the Law of reciprocity. When you’re eager to train, your teachers, classmates and training partners will want to share their eager attitude with you as well. When you are eager to serve and help others, you’ll find more people eager to serve and help you as well. In this way as with most things, you become magnetic and attract what you put out. On the opposite side of the coin, is the person that dreads everything and anything. They always see the dark aside of everything and constantly moan and groan. They talk about the things they dislike and share their woes with co-workers and friends. They’re what is known as a buzz kill. If you’re feeling good about something, they want you to see their dark and negative view. They seem to take pleasure in bringing the energy level down instead of up. They can kill a positive buzz in no time. Negative people brighten up the room when they leave it. Don’t be a negative person.
If you want to become the best you can be in your martial arts or anything else for that matter, get around other people with the same goal. If you want to excel in your career, talk with other people that are also eager to grow and make positive progress in life. Eagerness is a state of mind…
