Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy

A Princess' Beautiful New Relationship

Because I loved to watch TV dramas that feature fancy and rich lifestyles, I used to think that my boyfriend had to be very fashionable and rich, and I married into a very wealthy family. Because of this unrealistic imagination, my previous relationships never went well. Moreover, I had a bad temper and was moody. I would often speak sharp words that hurt others’ feelings and overlook others’ strengths. Therefore, my friends started to call me "little princess" due to my attitude.

During a six-year period of time, I often threw a temper tantrum when I was with my boyfriend, and I would think that I deserved a better one than him. If anything didn’t go my way, I would show an unhappy facial expression immediately. Therefore, my boyfriend always felt pressured and often worried that he would get on my nerves.

Although I knew I didn’t treat him nicely, I still couldn’t control my emotion and temper until I started practicing Tai Ji Men Qigong. My Shifu told me to improve my temper and to look at others’ strengths and focus on them. Then I started to appreciate my boyfriend and learn to be tolerant, which made me realize that he had always been there to protect me. I used to feel good about myself all the time, and I never walked in other people’s shoes and would get mad at tiny little things.

After practicing Tai Ji Men qigong, I learned to calm my heart and not to get angry easily in my daily life. I gradually realized that "one who doesn’t speak hurtful words has a beautiful heart." I found out that not getting angry makes myself pretty. How come I didn’t notice this before? I only cared about outer appearance and never knew those around me with my heart.

I have joined Tai Ji Men for more than six years. I practice qigong twice a day, which keeps me energetic. I work in the day and take courses in the evening. I am currently doing my final project before the graduation, but I don’t feel pressured because Shifu teaches me to face everything with a positive and happy attitude.

I am grateful to Shifu for guiding me to improve myself and become a changed person. Now my boyfriend also joined Tai Ji Men. I am very happy that we can improve ourselves and learn the wisdom of life together. Now I no longer get angry easily, and I have learned to get along with others much better. My boyfriend and I have learned to appreciate each other’s effort and kindness. Our relationship has moved up to a new level.

My goal is no longer to marry into a wealthy family, and I treasure the relationship with my boyfriend. Because I have already found a place that can make myself a better person--- Tai Ji Men, I have gotten rid of my "little princess" attitude. The wisdom that I have learned at Tai Ji Men is priceless, and I can use it all my life.
