Dear Friends,
Being a student of martial arts is constantly offering me important tools for my personal development. To give you one example: Moving to Cape Town I became a student in the school for martial arts in Kenilworth. Having already obtained 11 different belts in other "dojos" I was nevertheless invited to start here as a white belt. This was (and is) for me quite a lesson in humility. During the ritual that precedes every training we all say together:
"I will be humble, peaceful and honourable. I will strive to be a better person. I will respect all human beings. I will not injure or harm others. I will not be too proud or modest. I will practice with earnest and patience and apply these principles in my daily life."
Today the sensei sent me the picture you can see above about the chances of success.
If you read the text and think about it, you will see how these "chances of success" are not only applicable for those who are striving to become a black belt. They are true for everything we do in our daily life.
Also in our daily life with our beloved pets.
Love and blessings from Brunothedoglistener
