Why do we study a lifetime of fighting within the martial arts? To seek a peaceful path to enlightenment.
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.
