Welcome to Episode #71 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Your Special Gift.”
You never know when someone will change your life forever. You also don’t know when YOU will change someone else’s life forever!
Is it possible that that you are changing the world without even knowing it?
In this episode, let’s talk about how a life that you consider “ordinary” might actually be a special gift for someone around you.
A big THANK YOU to Sifu Tim of the TW Smith Martial Arts Center in Raleigh, NC for the inspiration on this one!

Hi Kevin,
I have no idea what you’re talking about, so I can’t give you any advice. I am going to remove this comment from the podcast page, so contact me through email instead.
I have taken on the responsibility of running our karate club. I haven’t practiced for ten years. When I returned to the club I found the senior belts had given up leading. I am a retired teacher but I can’t move well anymore nor do I remember much of the karate. The old ways I learned under don’t work the same. So I struggle to teach and lead. But I draw inspiration and valuable insight s fro. Your podcasts. As you pointed out my students are also my teachers and I grow each week. My flexible, stronger, better technique, teaching more, motivating more. Here is a realization I came upon while listening to you: I have to practice on my own outside of class so that during tclass time I can focus on students.
Thanks for your multifaceted wisdom.
Hi David! Good for you for keeping the club going. I have no doubt that you will be changing lives no matter what you practice in class. I also agree 100% that class time is not your practice time. You must explore and experiment on your own, then share your insights and discoveries when the time is right.
I hope you will stay in touch and let me know how it goes! Happy training and teaching to you!
