Emotion can be the enemy, if you give into your emotion, you lose yourself. You must be at one with your emotion, because the body always follows the mind.
I am not teaching you anything. I just help you to explore yourself.
The word "superstar" is an ilusion
You cannot force the Now. — But can you neither condemn nor justify and yet be extraordinarily alive as you walk on? You can never invite the wind, but you must leave the window open.
If mere mechanical efficiency can make everyone a martial artist, then all is well. Unfortunately, combat, like freedom, is something that can not be preconceived.
The past is an illusion. You must learn to live in the present and accept yourself for what you are now. What you lack in flexibility and agility you must make up with knowledge and constant practice.
Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.
Cease negative mental chattering. If you think a thing is impossible, you'll make it impossible. Pessimism blunts the tools you need to succeed.
Defeat is not defeat unless accepted as a reality-in your own mind.
Do not have an attitude, open yourself and focus yourself and express yourself. Reject external form that fails to express internal reality.

Do not deny the classical approach, simply as a reaction, or you will have created another pattern and trapped yourself there.
In order to control myself I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.
Truth has no path. Truth is living and, therefore, changing. Awareness is without choice, without demand, without anxiety; in that state of mind, there is perception. To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. Awareness has no frontier; it is giving of your whole being, without exclusion.
