What’s stopping you from reaching your goals? Is it a lack of time, resources, or the perfect opportunity? More often than not, the real obstacle isn’t external—it’s the excuses we make for ourselves. At Jung SuWon Martial Art Academy, Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim teaches us that success doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from taking action and making things happen.

In Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim’s book, Seven Steps to Inner Power, she reminds us that we are the masters of our own lives. Too often, we put off our dreams, waiting for the “right time” or ideal conditions. But the truth is, the perfect moment never arrives. The difference between those who succeed and those who remain stuck is the decision to take action.

At Jung SuWon, students quickly learn that progress comes from commitment and effort. Whether it’s mastering a new technique, building self-confidence, or overcoming personal struggles, the first step is to stop making excuses and start moving forward. Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim teaches that challenges will always exist, but your mindset determines whether they become roadblocks or stepping stones.

If you’re waiting for the “right moment” to change your life, that moment is now. Whether in martial arts or any aspect of life, success begins when you take that first step.

If you’re tired of making excuses and ready to take control of your life, the time is now.
