It has enriched my life tremendously. Martial arts is not just about fighting, winning trophies, or trying to demonstrate how tough a person can be. For every victory another must fail. One will never know love without experiencing hate at some point in their lifetime. Martial arts has been a way for me to find a sense of balance, not only in the dojang but in every aspect of my life.
Every day is a new beginning.
The mistakes made in a person's past cannot be changed but the lessons learned can determine their future. The courage is within each of us. We must all concentrate on finding it and realize that whichever path we must choose, it will take time and endurance. We must strive for honesty and seek out truth. Through our journeys we need to remain humble and be thankful for the little things - for they are what really matter most.
