"Life is a journey, and we are all travelers. Every event in our daily lives is part of a continuum of change and development. Time and space are a process. Every individual event enhances change and development. We must respond to the changes and discover the most suitable way to deal with them. Only by responding to the changes within the whole process can great success be achieved. This is the key to success."
[Wow, this one causes me to pause and say, "Wow!" I wanted to do well in life so I spent my youth trying to learn the best way to do this. I found that the Marines and later the fighting arts gave me a focus and a means of achieving a good life. I learned to understand the ebb and flow of the changes in life and that finding balance is most important with the knowledge that no matter what the ebb and flow continues and the balance we find is merely finding the correct way to accept changes and adjust accordingly. This in a microcosm is what we can achieve on a basic level in practicing a "Way." It can be the fighting arts, the tea ceremony, the art of calligraphy, or any other endeavor one can focus on and take along the path of life.]
