Conquer Fears

When I was little, I was lazy, overly sensitive and afraid of facing difficulties, so I usually started doing something and left it unfinished. Years ago, I borrowed comic books from a rental store. When I recalled the due day of returning the books, they had been overdue for three days. I felt embarrassed and dared not to return the books. So, I purposefully forgot about it until the owner of the rental store called my father, and he returned the books for me.

When I grew up, I realized that there are some things have to be done on my own. Yet, I still put things off to the last minute and finished them in a rush, so the quality results were not very good.

When pondering over the reason I dared not to return the books, I in fact fear to face the unknown. I just wanted to try something new, but dared not face the result.

Fortunately, the fear disappeared unwittingly after I joined Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy. I then realized that practicing Tai Ji Men Qigong is not simply to help me become healthier and stronger. There is more.

Tai Ji Men joins many public welfare activities, and I learned and grew from them. When I want to be lazy or run away again, brothers and sisters from Tai Ji Men encourage me and Shifu’s words lead me to make breakthroughs again and again.

One time, I was recommended to be the M.C. of an activity. I was nervous and afraid of not knowing how people would react when I speak to thme. However, I thought of Shifu once told me that it was easy and natural to share my own experiences of positive changes. Therefore, I just told the guests my positive changes and share my good will to them. As the result, I was relieved to see the warm smiles on their faces and the activity turned out to be a success.

From this experience, I understand that simply doing good deeds and saying good words can help me learn a lot of wisdom of life. It is natural to become better when we are in good environmen. By practicing Tai Ji Men Qigong, I am in a good learning environment which helps me cultivate my heart and allows me to be peace and calm. That’s why I am full of energy and able to conquer the fear of the unknown.
