The Art of Forgiving

Some might consider it strange that I post this article here in a taekwondo blog like this. But the truths therein are so powerful and liberating that I would consider myself thoughtless if  I do not share.

  1. The most creative power given to the human spirit is the power to heal the wounds of a past it cannot change.
  2. We do our forgiving alone inside our hearts and minds; what happens to the people we forgive depends on them.
  3. The first person to benefit from forgiving is the one who forgives.
  4. Forgiving happens in three stages: we rediscover the humanity of the person who wronged us; we surrender our right to get even; and we wish that person well.
  5. Forgiving is a journey; the deeper the wound, the longer the journey.
  6. Forgiving does not require us to reunite with the person who broke our trust.
  7. We do not forgive because we are supposed to; we forgive when we are ready to be healed.
  8. Waiting for someone to repent before we forgive is to surrender our future to the person who wronged us.
  9. Forgiving is not a way to avoid pain but to heal the pain.
  10. Forgiving someone who breaks a trust does not mean that we give him his job back.
  11. Forgiving is the only way to be fair to ourselves.
  12. Forgivers are not doormats; to forgive a person is not a signal that we are willing to put up with what he or she does.
  13. Forgiving is essential; talking about it is optional.
  14. When we forgive, we set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner we set free is ourselves.
  15. When we forgive we walk in stride with our forgiving God.

Intensive Poomsae Training

A few new faces joined in the poomsae training last Sunday. Muhammad Suhaiyl Hamdi, 11, a red belter, who hails from Shah Alam was one of them. It was really encouraging to see such a young one like him, training with the team with such great determination even though it was his first day.

It was already the 3rd week of intensive training for most of them under the watchful eye of the coach, Mr. Tan Kien Tat. Learning the basic executions the correct way through repetitive drills may seem monotonous to some, but not to them. They are bent on mastering the right moves in all the Taegueks, from 1 to 8, and later the senior patterns as well.
