🌿 This Korean Life Lesson Might Stay with You Forever

🌱 A new tradition starts today

Every Thursday, you’ll now receive a short message from me called “Wisdom from Korea.”

Each one will share a simple but powerful Korean proverb—along with a real story, a moment of reflection, and one small action you can take that week.

Why? Because life is busy.
And sometimes, we need just one moment to come back to what matters.

🧠 Kick Your Life™: Wisdom from Korea – Week 1

“You have to enter the tiger’s den to catch a tiger cub.”

호랑이 굴에 가야 호랑이 새끼를 잡는다

📖 This week’s wisdom

We all want to achieve something meaningful, whether it’s raising confident kids, trying something new, or finally chasing a dream that’s been sitting in your heart.

This Korean proverb reminds us:

If you want the reward, you must be willing to face the risk.

Big changes rarely come from comfort zones.
They start with one small, uncomfortable—but—brave step.

✨ A Life Story

John had always dreamed of starting his own business, but fear held him back.
He worried about money, failure, and what others might think.

One day, he read this Korean proverb, which struck a nerve.
So he made one small move: he registered a domain name.

That led to another step... then another.
Today, his dream is real.

🛠️ Try this with your family or classroom

Talk about something you've each been avoiding because it feels scary or uncertain.
Ask: What small step could we take together this week to be braver?

This is a great dinner conversation or class warm-up discussion.

✅ Your Weekly Kick Plan

This week, take one small step into your “tiger’s den”:

• Choose something you’ve been avoiding

• Break it into the smallest possible step

• Do that step

• Reflect: Was fear worse than reality? What did I learn about myself?

You might even share the story with your child and do it together.

🌿 Remember

Courage isn’t about eliminating fear.
It’s about moving anyway, with purpose.

Let this week’s wisdom guide your thoughts, words, and actions.
You’re doing better than you think.

Warmly,
