9 Keys to Motivation: It's not status, it's stature.
The secret to success and a high level of personal motivation comes from the inside out, not the outside in.
Through your Kung Fu practice you will improve your life in so many ways: improved physical fitness, better endurance, stronger muscles, and increased metabolism, but it is the internal aspects you will cherish the most. You will experience positive mental growth such as: increased self-confidence, reduced stress, more patience, and increased self-esteem. These are gifts you receive from your practice that will last a lifetime. These tools can promote dramatic changes in your life. Sometimes these changes occur almost instantaneously, and sometimes they can take months or years. Nonetheless, through the practice, you will grow as a person and a martial artist from the inside out.
