Instructor's Corner
If You Could…
By Luke Morris
Black Belt, Certified Instructor
Have you ever caught yourself thinking “I can’t do that”? If so, you’ve probably found this a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you truly believe before you begin something that you will be unable to accomplish your goal, do you dedicate yourself to it and give your all towards its attainment? It’s unlikely.Henry Ford summed up this phenomenon in a profound way:
“Whether you think you can do something or whether you think you can’t, you’re right.”
This doesn’t mean that believing in yourself or “thinking you can” is all it takes to succeed, or even that giving your all will necessarily bring you to your goal. There are no guarantees in life. But believing you can’t will virtually guarantee failure.
Think about this in terms of your training. As long as you believe that a certain technique is too complicated to master, you’ll never get it. You’ll hold yourself back to match your expectations for yourself. True, keeping this low standard means you’ll never be disappointed in your performance, but it also means you’ll never push yourself to the level of which you’re truly capable.
On the other hand, if you open up your mind to the possibility that you can master the technique, you will discover resources you didn’t know you had, and you will find yourself approaching the perfection you seek. High standards mean high rewards.
Think about it: What would you do if you knew you could not fail? That is what you must set as your standard, and accept nothing from yourself that does not keep you on the path to that end.
Now is the time to throw off the old limiting beliefs. Inside every martial artist is a better martial artist fighting to get out. So let it out! Set your sights high, choose your goal carefully, and go for it. You won’t know what you can’t do until you’ve given it all you have.
