Nature elixirs for vitality are all around us if only we have eyes to see them

I think you should view life as one big coconut, hard on the outside soft on the inside,the hard shell is your point of view attitudes, and environment you live in.

Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another,

The powerful yields to the gentle they both benefit!!

only man in his infinite arrogance confuses the two and often misses the truth!!

The gift of life natural rain water

This truth and clarity of mind is also called Enlightenment !!

This is a symbol for Harmony" the marriage of yin and yang forces!!

The soft nutritious part on the inside is your personality, your positive attitude, and flexible in  mind and body that allows you to adjust to any situation, and adapt and overcome  them. This is achieved by dispersing the build up of  too much negative  energy and stress with a positive solution and vitality.

This is a example of each one teach one !!!

 

The key to a full life is to discover a way to crack that coconut called life; and enjoy the nutritious soft inside called vital living. And now you have discovered the right  tools, for life you can teach others how to use it.

Then  the joy and peace of mind  that comes  sometimes by  sharing , will reveal this in its innate wisdom. Thereafter,  the truth and clarity can be passed on to  anyone that wishes to use it.

we are as much alive as we keep the earth alive!!

     Have a great day.

The 8 principles for Taijiboxing and a healthy lifestyle

     Taijiboxing as both a Art form and a philosophy for life has 8 basic principles which when properly integrated into your personality gives a perfect treasure chest of wisdom and knowledge to deal with the ever turbulent ride that we call life.

    Just like in nature the ancient Taoist observed that running water is never stagnant or putrid.  Likewise we should observe the Tao and be as free flowing as a stream constantly adjusting to the underlying  and surrounding terrain.

 The first principle is: PATIENCE : 

"Patience through stillness and motion"

 

   The state or quality of being patient; the power of suffering with fortitude; uncomplaining endurance of evils or wrongs, as toil, pain, poverty, insult, oppression, calamity, etc.

    But like in the practice of taijiquan as both art form and a martial discipline you must endeavor to practice regardless of the outcome. That is to say that, the dedication and the discipline is the reward in it self  and as it was said ” He  who laughs last, laughs longest”, patience is a virtue that is rarely ascertained.

Patience is a virtue that most often never attained!!

The second principle is:   Practice:

"Practice patience and discipline Fuel for a true art form"

   Systematic training by multiple repetitions; “practice makes perfect”

 

Translating an idea into action; “A hard theory to put into practice”.  Skill or dexterity acquired by use; expertness:

Actual performance  is the application of knowledge  as opposed to theory.

 Systematic exercise for instruction or discipline;.[Websters   definition].

This incorporates a individuals application of knowledge , willpower and conviction to overcome a obstacle through consistent  patience.

The Third is:Perseverance

If a first you don't succeed stability in motion try try again Perseverance!!

 

 

     The steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties,   obstacles, or discouragement. this is the pinnacle to all personal enlightenment applying this in daily life make the world a brighter place. this in my opinion combination with hope is the light of the world.  it is said that the great sage s believed that  “In the midst of adversity all is clarity”.
 The Fourth is: Persistence

Persitance is the key Patience is the way,somtimes obstacles seem larger than life!!

Continued progress in a course of action without regard to difficulty, past failures, or opposition.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

Benjamin Franklin

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Napoleon Hill

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated failures. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

Calvin Coolidge

These quote outline one of the few quality that can not be copied you must develop this trait, and make it part of who you are.

This is number Five:   Practicality.

He who hesitates has lost, sometimes the element of suprise is the best defence
