Thanks for all the replies once again..
The thing with martial arts is I feel like only dedicating myself to that single sport, kind of made me miss out on other things in life. It's something you have to breathe and think constantly to evolve. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but my injury kind of stripped that away from me and made me realize how much it took over my life..
I can still do martial arts just not like before because I almost lost my hand. And to be honest after an 8th month recovery, I kinda got burnt out. And now my hand is permanently defected and will only get worse as I age. Now that I'm not so serious about it though, it's almost more fun cause there's no pressure to always perform. Rather then a lifestyle, it's just a hobby now.
I'm honestly trying to just find a long term goal so I have something to aim for. School would be good even though I am working full time and just that alone is tiring. I just have to find something else I can be passionate about, which is where my confusion is coming in. I think one of my problems from before was I always sold myself short when studying. I have a family of very smart people and I purposely tried to be an outcast because I didn't want to be like them. It developed some poor habits and a mindset of "I'm not like them, I'm not smart like them, I'm different"etc...
Do any of you know of any books I can use to brush up on the skills I should know if I do end up in college? Motivational talks or anything of that nature? I know I'm still young so I figure start now because I already kinda regret not doing it right out of high school, what's going to happen when I'm in my 30's?
