Vulnerbilities

In one way or another, each and everyone of us has a weak link or soft spot in our armour. Many claim to carry a coat of armour that is impenetrable, but I honestly believe that leans more to desensitization or denial to face your shortcomings. They are more scared than anything about how others see them, but yet boast of rootless and hollow life knowledge. I have no time for these types. I do however have all the time in the world and hold high admiration to those that expose the inner challenges and choose to face them head on. That takes courage  and also displays strong character and massive inner confidence. A seed that just simply needs to be planted and nurished, that through dedication and tolerance to themselves will grow into a 300 ft. redwood. I also learn a valuable lesson, as we all should,  from those who hold admittance and practice with discipline, tools that have been provided to them through consultation of experience and respect to that source. I honestly believe practicing martial arts with respect and passion will solidify any vulnerbilities and turn it into something extrodinary instead of a vulnerbility.
