it's official

so, i never got around to part two of that style post.
which i wish i could have, because i don't want part one to affect how you read this post.

so before i tell you what is official,
i will tell you that you need to move with what you believe in.
and what you believe in has to have real value and substance.
deciding what has real value and substance is the tough part.
you have to truly understand why you give things merit.
you cannot just accept what anyone says as a truth.
if possible, research and prove it to yourself.

i think that's enough of a preface.

so i just got back from the philippines last weekend.
i spent two weeks (one on the beach in batangas, the other in metro manila)
training my arms off and trying not to sweat to death.
it was an amazing time in amazing company at amazing places.
i came away with a bunch of great experiences,
and a ranking in the system of first level instructor.
so it's official! i'm an official representative.
of a system that i believe in.
that has value and substance.
that i have been teaching and will continue to teach.
that i have been training in and will continue to train in.
it's a lifelong journey and this is just a milestone.
i'm moving forward.

oh if i haven't shared it with you yet,
let me know and i will.
