Strengthen your Heart
As soon as you concern yourself with the “good” and “bad” of your fellows, you create an opening in your heart for maliciousness to enter. Testing, competing with, and criticizing others weaken and defeat you.
- Morihei Ueshiba
Ebb and Flow
Each day of human life contains joy and anger, pain and pleasure, darkness and light, growth and decay. Each moment is etched with nature’s grand design – do not try to deny or oppose the cosmic order of things.
- Morihei Ueshiba
Awakening from Within
We must stand at the center of the universe, free of the desire for competition or the need for victory.
- Morihei Ueshiba
Endless Improvement
Life is growth. If we stop growing, technically and spiritually, we are as good as dead.
- Morihei Ueshiba
Slow and Steady
Learn to understand with your body. Do not engage in a futile effort to learn a great number of techniques, but rather study the techniques one by one and make each one your own.
