Did you know that Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim writes a very special column called "Heart to Heart" in the TKD Times magazine? It's been a wonderful source of inspiration to many people, and especially me!
Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim writes timeless gems of wisdom that apply now and always. Here is an excerpt from a column more than 5 years ago:
"Remember, it is our personal choice
what we do in this life! It’s our very
own choice!
Yes, I hear you, you’ll tell me how
you didn’t choose your family, how you didn’t choose your learning disability,
and how you didn’t choose being poor. I
understand what you are saying, but hear me out: Whatever the circumstances are, no matter how
bad they are, what is much more important is how we choose to deal with those
circumstances!
Here is how it works:
You need to commit to make a change
in your life for the better, you need to purify your body and mind, and you
need to set true goals for yourself. And
of course you need to put all this into action (and not just think about it!)
and make it your new way of life.
I call this Re-birth. Rebirth is actually living the new definition
of yourself. Now, instead of drifting
along in life, acting and reacting with limited perception, you live with
conscious awareness of your connection to your Silent Master consciousness. You now become your own doctor and surgeon,
carefully bringing your new self into the world by constantly removing the
strangling, stifling thoughts and feelings of your old self."
Isn't that something we can all apply in our lives, pretty much every day!
Today on my 58th Birthday, I thank Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim for sharing her knowledge with us!
