Look for a Sensei that can inspire you to search beyond technique. The longer you study the martial arts, clearer will be your understanding within the applied techniques.

Learning to be soft when intimidated is the key to progress. If the ego will not yield to the attackers physical aggression a conflict of the physical to co-exist takes place. This restricts the true concepts of Aikido to be realised.
Martial arts are not studied to enhance aggression, but to train the spirit to reveal flaws for ones own self correction.
Compassion is a powerful word. In it contains all of what is martial and what is art. Yet without the years in its study one may not come to understand its true meaning.
The pursuit of powerful aggression within martial arts are the most often sought. This only creates more distance from one another and will never be the answer. Seek the pathless path in your journey and all will become clear in time.
Aikido is a means of self-correction of Intention through reflection.
To train a life time acquiring skills of self-defence only to seek retribution in the destruction of others becomes a wasted journey; a path of self-destruction.
Don’t be attracted only to powerful techniques within a martial art you do see, but more in the peaceful path of what you don’t see.
Martial arts should not be a platform for displaying the ego. Methods that do can lead one down a wrong path.
