Life Lessons and quotes from Mr. Miyagi

-A Thread-

Adversity is inevitable and oftentimes out of your control.

This adversity may seem unfair, but that is no excuse to ever accept defeat.

Adversity is necessary for growth.

"Sometimes what heart know, head forgets"

In life there are survivors and victims.

Survivors learn how to adapt and persevere through tough conditions.

Survivors take responsibility, they take action.

Victims never learn, make excuses and never take responsibility.

"Lie become truth, if person believe it"

There are no shortcuts.

Great buildings, great people, great ideas can not be built on a weak foundation.

Foundations must be put into place. Habits must be built.

"Wax on, wax off"

Choose the your crowd wisely.

Imagine if your mentor was Mr.Miyagi.

Now imagine if your mentor was Sensei Kreese.

Your circle of friends and mentors can often be the difference between success and failure. 

"No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher"

Do not be afraid.

Be confident in yourself and face your fears.

Stay positive, your outlook and attitude on anything will drastically change your results.

If you are always running from problems you are never solving them.

"Ok to lose to opponent, never ok to lose to fear"

You must commit to something to have extraordinary results.

If you aren't committed to yourself, why would anyone else be?

Consistent commitment breeds excellence.

"Ambition without knowledge is like a boat on dry land"

Never, ever give up.

Life happens fast.

Push past fear of failure and see how much you can accomplish.

Learn what you capable of by breaking barriers.

"You trust the quality of what you know, not the quantity"

Life is not about the results, life is about the journey.

Do not rush your growth, but fall in love with the process.

Live in the present, do not try to outrun the day.

"Never put passion in front of principles, even if you win, you will lose"

Stay humble.

Nothing is ever won and nothing is ever lost.

What matters is that your head and heart are always in the right place.

Stay centered. Stay focused. 

"First learn to stand, then learn to fly"

Create balance in all things.

Each feeling, each thought that enters your mind is a teaching tool.

Learn how to harness this power and use it to create balance in your mind and in your life.

Use it to create the life you want to live.

"Better learn balance, balance is key"

The end.
