Life has a wonderful way of throwing us challenges which are both beautiful and detrimental to our being at peace with ourselves or others. How we handle these everyday situations is key to our personal success and self belief. I recently met a gentleman from Japan who emanates a being of calmness who has accepted life for what it is. He is a 9th DAN (ranking) Black Belt Karate Master from Okinawa. He travels the world visiting different countries where his Karate Dojo's (training rooms) have been set up.When visiting my sons Dojo he took time out to speak with me personally about why he enjoys travelling and mentoring his instructors and students alike. His teachings are based not just on technical abilities but on who his students are as people. Learning to accept that all emotions are in their own way beautiful, learning becomes even more powerful.
When he moves, he glides. When he speaks, there is silence. When he listens, there is understanding.
"Everything in life that we really accept undergoes a change" Katherine Mansfield. British Author (1888- 1923)
Today, do something for yourself and learn that acceptance allows you to see beauty, enjoy the transition to a more fulfilling and mellow life.
