Good habits creates excellence
Bad habits brings on demise.

Excellence is a quality that you have created through repeated actions.
This has turned into habits which only you have to be thanked.

When you have it good keep it good by looking over your shoulder to those who are in a worse predicament than yourself.

In this life there is always better or worse so why do we compete.

The mind always creates challenges to be better, to be more fortunate, to be special, to be the only one etc. Nature sees life as life as just doing duties (our roles) as designed. When we think of ourselves as the mind I we are faced with unnecessary challenges, however when we accept life as it presents itself we will be happier.

According to eastern understanding, when a teacher chooses a student for special lessons that student is ready to move ahead. That is reason it is said " when the student is ready the teacher will appear."

Someone asked me why do I not do sports karate. Simply, it does not have DO(The Way.)
For my self, I cannot love martial sport and martial art - like God and Money. Either one or the other each completely different. Some say both complement each other. Traditional arts is real, whereas sport is make believe. I have many examples of Japanese masters informing us the Sport Kata is only made to look beautiful and controlled kumite in Tournaments is for the purpose of winning trophies. I love the art because it is what I live for. Masters have shown me the way(Do)and I will give it up rather than choose the other.

with the spiritual I(Love)of growth and development.

In a conversation a senior student, out of concern for young people discussed how negative influence impacts on their lives and respect, discipline and values are disappearing. He then said, "why do you bother to continue to teach values when the peer pressure outside the dojo is far greater." I then said, "whatever I teach will always remain in their minds and it is my duty as a teacher to teach good. If we do nothing then people will have little to choose from, then negative energy will grow at a faster rate. I must do my best to teach good values to the small group I have in the hope that they can influence others to be the same."

There is a saying, For evil to continue, good people must do nothing.

Kancho's New Years Message

Years come and go and each year seems to go faster than the last. As each year passes we grow in maturity. Certain experiences present itself as lessons, these are often pushed aside, it repeats itself in different ways until we understand its purpose.

Many great minds have said that this year will be no different from the last, some lessons however, will be different. The Earth School which our planet is sometimes called, forms the platform for learning. The lesson from my teacher is to be happy. He goes on to say that, in truth nothing is negative,everything has a good reason and a purpose. When we look back at our past, many would not want to change anything even the times of suffering, even that has had great lessons.

Be happy, Bless those who curse you and Praise those who help you.

Kancho
