In this week's episode, I will invite you to consider the idea that 'enthusiasm' is the driving and most essential force in any endeavour. Through reflecting on this year's University Kickboxing Championships experience and other recent events that touched my life, I will encourage you to ponder the importance of 'taking one step at a time', empowering others, and continuing with persistence when 'the going gets hard'. We will explore the intricacies of today's overstimulated and highly rapid flow of life and try to figure out a formula, which could help us in our daily striving. In martial arts as in life, the challenges and setbacks are often conquered first inside one's mind. As Frank Sonnenberg puts it in his book Soul Food - "ability determines if you can; attitude determines if you will."

As always, I will offer you one or two challenges to ponder and exercise throughout your week!

I hope you will find this episode insightful and inspiring.
