Effort within the mind further limits the mind, because effort implies struggle towards a goal and when you have a goal, a purpose, an end in view, you have placed a limit on the mind.

To be bound by traditional martial art style or styles is the way of the mindless, enslaved martial artist. But to be inspired by the traditional martial art and to achieve further heights is the way of genius.

Remember, success is a journey not a destination. Have faith in your ability. You will do just fine.

I hope martial artists are more interested in the root of martial arts and not the different decorative branches, flowers or leaves.

I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged.

If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.

You will never learn anything new unless you are ready to accept yourself with your limitations. You must accept the fact that you are capable in some directions and limited in others, and you must develop your capabilities.
