Have patience while walking the path of Aikido there really is no final destination. Study sincerely in the moment for today is what matters. Tomorrow will come all too soon. Reflect in the journey this is the ultimate goal.
To defeat an enemy with compassion over aggression will take great understanding. Introduce this as a part of your life’s philosophy.
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.

Treat others in the way you would like to be treated and a harmony shall exist.
