Do you ever feel like certain days carry extra power for you?
For me, September 30th always does.
Sixteen years ago today, I stepped into my first Tai Chi and Qigong class with my Sifu. I was recovering from a serious neck injury and trying to avoid surgery. Deep down, I knew there had to be another way—and thanks to a wise physical therapist, I found a path that transformed my life in ways I never could have imagined.
I bow down to the Dragon Gate lineage and to Master Sat Hon, whose teachings continue to ripple through every part of my life—body, family, spirit, and work.
Then, on this same day in 2012, I ran the Fifth Avenue Mile in 5 minutes and 20 seconds, breaking a personal record I had set as a teenager. For years I believed I’d never beat my younger self—that my best days were behind me. Of course, that was just a story.
Movement has a way of rewriting those old stories—reminding us that our potential is always here, always now.
So here’s my question for you:
Besides your birthday, are there any particular days that feel powerful in your life?
Drop them in the comments—I’d love to hear.
