Indomitable Spirit - one of the 5 tenets of TKD
Before I knew what Indomitable Spirit was - before I knew what Tae Kwon Do was - I knew about this.
You can't let people beat you up.
Someone else winning, and you losing (that particular round or event) does not make you a loser.
So we are in the middle of tournament season in Tae Kwon Do, and the South Eastern District Qualifier (hosted by Master Debbi Hooper www.seaautkd.org) is this coming weekend.
I am NOT one of "those" people who think that everyone should get a gold.
But I am one of "those" that think you are only a loser when you think you are...
and there IS a difference.
Indomitable Spirit to me is about not letting outside factors determine your ultimate outcome.
There are so many examples of people with the odds stacked against them - with the outside world telling them that they can't/couldn't - and yet they did.
To me that is Indomitable Spirit - the power within being greater than the pressure or events outside.
Don't let the muggles get you down...
Respectfully,
Kathy Wiz
