Self motivational post for Steven Cason

You have inspired me to continue with martial arts and pursue my black belt.  I have trained with you and you never quit, you just keep going and you helped me by doing that.  I can see the improvements you have made in technique as we have trained together and you are growing as a martial artist.  I enjoy your humor and dedication to the arts.  Keep on going you will succeed.

Silly as it may seem someone actually told me some of what I wrote above early in our training this year.  Not all but some.  I still think about that when I am feeling tired, depressed, or overwhelmed during this process and it helps.
