“The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter.”

-a quote by O’Sensei from the Art of Peace

What more is there to say? Except that this little book (which could fit into your pocket) is full of the thoughts and sayings of O’Sensei. It is truly worth a read and one you’ll find draws you back again and again. When you look at your training in Aikido from this perspective, then there is no doubt what you must do. Train every day, train everywhere, and train in everything you do. You must constantly strive to improve yourself no matter what it is. Every day make a difference no matter how small the task or effort.

Simply put, train hard and always do your best. Good luck in everything you do!
