Embracing⁤ Challenges for a‌ Vibrant Life

Have you been nervous lately? Being nervous is not a⁢ pleasant experience, so we want⁢ to reduce the number‌ of ‍such situations as‌ much as possible.⁤ However, “not being nervous” may⁢ mean that we are not​ taking on ‍many challenges.

Any challenge comes with the risk of failure. And to be honest, starting something ​new is a pain. So it’s natural that‌ you want to ‌avoid it. You⁤ want ‍to ⁤spend your days peacefully without any problems.

However, once you‌ take on the challenge, you will gradually find that your energy grows and your life becomes ⁢more vibrant.

The Power of Taking ⁣on⁤ New Challenges

People‌ in their 20s to 70s attend the adult classes at Sakujukan, and most of ​them⁣ started‌ judo as⁣ adults. I think taking up​ a new hobby as an adult, ⁤especially⁤ judo, is a wonderful challenge.

By the way, I had always​ wanted to learn ‍the Okinawan sanshin, so⁣ in 2019 I started learning​ it, but ​I stopped after three⁣ months. At the time, I was forced to stop because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I think I can start⁤ again⁣ now…

I think the ⁣students‌ who​ have courageously⁤ taken the first step on the path of judo and continue to practice diligently at their own pace are truly amazing.

Growth and‌ Self-Confidence through Challenges

Taking on challenges leads to growth ⁤and self-confidence. Even ‍if the ⁢results⁤ are not as expected, the experience of​ trying ‍will surely be a source of nourishment ⁢for your life.

In addition, ⁢taking on challenges invigorates⁤ those around ‍you. Many people have been inspired and ​inspired by the ⁤athletes ‍at the Olympic⁢ and Paralympic​ Games.

Some students have⁤ been‍ inspired by the students challenging for ⁣a black belt and think, “I want to try it next!” Taking on challenges leads⁤ to a positive ⁣chain reaction, increasing your energy.

Small Challenges,⁣ Big Impact

The challenge doesn’t have to be something big, and⁣ you don’t have to compare yourself to others. In judo terms, it’s fine to start⁤ with something like “trying to apply the technique you ​learned three times in randori.”

The⁢ same goes for challenges‍ outside of judo. Taking ‌the Kanji ⁤Proficiency Test or the English Proficiency Test, reopening a book⁣ you read partway through a long time ago, ⁢going for a 10-minute walk in the⁤ morning, making curry from scratch with spices, wearing clothes ​in⁢ a color you’ve never worn before, and other small, personal challenges that excite you and make your life more enjoyable.
