Thank you for sharing your experiences learning Muay Thai. And your comments on the unfamiliarity of the environment the bigger challenge. Imagine how you will grow and feel when you have seen this voluntary ordeal through....and the reunion with your beloved. This is the example young people (especially) are hungry to hear and observe. Leadership. Leading the way for growth and a self strengthening experience that will most probably help you more with your next challenge than anything else possibly could. My complete admiration for you....I will pray for you that your doubts vanish, your wondering mind ceases, time flashes by, and you are victorious over yourself and Muay Thai. Magnificent example of manhood.
Having spent time in Thailand watching Muay Thai bouts I have to say I’m impressed with what you’re doing. That has to be tough training. I doubt I would have taken on that challenge when I was your age. A description of what happens when you step into the ring unprepared in the book “Lords of Discipline” certainly would have reinforced my decision not to go there.
Stick with it. Looking back at most of the things I’ve been proud of doing in my life there was always a moment when I told myself I was going to quit but then stuck with it. That’s normal, and a good number of people in your situation would throw in the towel and later regret it. You’re on the right path.
I know I heard that somewhere; it's not an original statement of mine. But it fits with the program of The Preparation. And it is what you need to keep in mind as you continue reaching.
It seems obvious to me that The Preparation was well-thought-out, and that it made sense to design it to occur over a multiple-year time frame. It can't be done haphazardly, because that would cause the practitioner to lose focus.
Thank you for mentioning God!...Prayer is important!........I am happy that you are reading "The Art of War". One of the most important books ever written, in my opinion, to teach either life or business.
Great insight. A week from now I’ll be going to Phuket to train as well and I’m glad I got to have a rough idea of what I’m getting into before hand. Anyways keep at it and fight hard.

Thank you, Marcia. It means the most.
God will bless every effort you make. He wants this as much a you do.

Success is where planning meets preparation.
