When a problem arises, don't fight with it or try to deny it. Accept and acknowledge it. Be patient in seeking a solution or opening, and then fully commit yourself to the resolution you think advisable.

A dojo [pracice hall] is a miniature cosmos where we make contact with ourselves - our fears, anxieties, reactions, and habits. It is an arena of confined conflict where we confront an opponent who is not an opponent but rather a partner engaged in helping us understand ourselves more fully.

When a problem arises, don't fight with it or try to deny it. Accept and acknowledge it. Be patient in seeking a solution or opening, and then fully commit yourself to the resolution you think advisable.

Only through practice and more practice, until you can do something without conscious effort.

What stands in the way of effortless effort is caring, or a conscious attempt to do well.

Those who are patient in the trivial things in life and control themselves will one day have the same mastery in great and important things.

When one eye is fixed upon your destination, there is only one eye left with which to find the Way.
