Send the following Big Idea to a friend:
“In your training, do not be in a hurry, for it takes a minimum of ten years to master the basics and advance to the first rung. Never think of yourself as an all-knowing, perfected master; you must continue to train daily with your friends and students and progress together in the Art of Peace.”
~ Morihei Ueshiba, Founder of the Martial Art of Aikido from The Art of Peace
Ueshiba also teaches us that, “Those who are enlightened never stop forging themselves.”
How about you?
Do you tend to think you should master something in a weekend?
Do you ever think you’ve “arrived”?
…Don’t know about you, but I’m on the “10-year-to-the-first-rung” plan. Almost there. :)
You?

Nothing was ever in any man that is not in you; no man ever had more spiritual or mental power than you can attain, or did greater things than you can accomplish. You can become what you want to be.
