Damned if you do, don't or are in between

There are some days when you are damned if you do, damned if you don't or damned if you are in between.  Today, for reasons I won't specify, was one of those.   

My response nowadays, is if I can't make any progress one way, try to progress another.  I made progress on one front but I can't share that, so I also tried something new in another direction I can share.

A few days ago, I got a hontai video of a kata I had started to learn, courtesy of my Sensei.  I have been practicing parts, but I decided to go the whole hog and try to learn the flow of all of it.  Here is my third full attempt at Naihanchi Ni Dan.

I appreciate it is very rough, but it felt good to go something I hadn't been able to do from end to end before.  I find that doing something good in one direction, when you can't progress in another helps.

You can't control what others say, do or feel.  You can't please anyone sometimes, but you can control what you say and what you do.  You can also help how you feel, so being able to do this helps me.
