Life-Changing Lessons I Learned Living in a Shaolin Temple in China #194

Hey there, what's up? In this episode, I'm taking you on a journey to China, where I spent a few months living in the Shaolin Temple in Kunming. Let me tell you, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. At first, I was hesitant to go there, but I couldn't resist the call. Being a huge Bruce Lee fan, I was inspired to learn Kung Fu from the Kung Fu warrior monks. And I felt that going to a completely different environment would help me grow. And it definitely did. When I arrived in Kunming, I felt overwhelmed and intimidated. I had to figure out how to get to the Shaolin Temple, but everything was in Chinese. I was afraid, not knowing where to go, so I gave the address I had to a taxi driver and hoped for the best. When I finally arrived, I found myself in this huge area with markets, people everywhere, and temples surrounding me. It was like being in St. Peter's Square but in China. And I stood out like a sore thumb, the only tall white dude around. Living in the Shaolin Temple wasn't a walk in the park, but it was so worth it. I learned a lot about repetition and how it is the mother of skill. The monks would train for hours and hours every single day, repeating the same moves over and over again until they became second nature. Their dedication to their craft was truly inspiring. But what really stuck with me from my time in China was the importance of self-love, stepping out of my comfort zone, and saying yes to my divine assignment marked in my heart. We all have a purpose in this life, and it's up to us to pursue it with passion and determination.
