It’s Really Up to You.

We all have related battles to face in life. We all have challenges that we face everyday— deadlines, accomplishment of goals, stress, and environmental factors. Budo teaches us when we have battles/challenges. We must focus our energies on the solution, not the problem.

It’s what you do with what is laid before you that really matters! Is the cup either half-full or half empty? It’s all about how you perceive things. There is always a battle, a situation in which we are tested, in everyone’s life, no matter what your occupation, financial situation or family background.

Pain is part of life...misery is optional!

I believe that challenges come our way for a reason. Sometimes it’s hard to see the positive in situations, but there is usually a lesson to learn or a reason we are being tested. How we deal with them is up to us. We can allow these challenges/battles to steal from us our strength and our vision of who we want to be. Or we can use them to forge our spirit, making us more confident, disciplined, and happy people. As we become better people, we start to affect our communities by having a positive impact on society. As a teacher, my job is to act as a guide for people looking to embark on this journey, helping them become capable leaders and contribute to society.
