Kajo Waraku Reflection
I have been reading my bu-fu a lot lately and I have been thinking about the flowers heart, and what that means to me.
First when you think of a flower you see the colors, the life, the vibrancy that denote the plant as a flower, but those are the petals, not the heart. While they draw attention to allow others to identify what the flower is, poisonous, fragrant, beautiful, etc. they are simply...

Celebrate Your You-niqueness
The idea is not to attain perfection in your lifetime; It’s to seek it!
Let him that would move the world, Move himself first.
Practice is failing towards success.
Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Honesty without compassion and understanding is not...
Competition
Latin Con Petire (compete) Means “To seek together”
Not a Win / Loose scenario, but rather you are competing “with” the opponents, however you compete together against failure.
You are all improving “The ability to recover from and resist failure”.

– Unmaskd (via unmaskd)
“Stop leaving and you will arrive.
Stop searching and you will see.

– Lao Tzu (via nirvikalpa)

You are an excellent judge of human behavior. You have been a human being for your entire life and have spent most of that time around other humans. Every human is an excellent judge of human behaviour unless they willfully or unconsciously sabotage their own intuition.
The Golden Rule Of Comabt
Your most powerful weapon
Applied to your opponent’s greatest vulnerability
At his time of maximum imbalance
