Happy New Year to everyone! Although the economic situation looks bad, it is still important we keep our health in shape. As I mentioned in my previous posting of the book I am reading, it was interesting that the author mentioned perseverance is an essential tool for practicing Taiji. So with the New Year just staring, your resolution can be to learn Taiji and not give up easily.
I have seen many students who gave up after one or two months of learning. Reasons given such as no time to learn, too slow and could not remember the steps. The book was writeen in 1990's and the author must have seen the same problem. So if you are just starting Taiji, be patient, focus and have a good time.
