I need to do more of what I love and less of what is expected of me and you've given me a good reminder of that. There's a really great book out that's helped me to get back on the right path as well - <a href="http://www.asifthinkingmatters.com" rel="nofollow">Living Life As If Thinking Matters</a> by R. L. Wysong talks a lot about finding solutions to life's problems by doing what we know is right for ourselves instead of buying into others beliefs. Between the two of you, I'm definitely getting back on the right track. Thanks for a wonderful article and a really great wake up call!

All the traditional ones, at least, expound the virtue of consistent effort at even the simplest tasks (i.e. a stomach level punch) for great improvement. Even without an awareness of the spiritual and philosophical systems which are sometimes embedded, martial arts can be profoundly influential on a person's understanding of practice and results.

It is hidden deep within my soul.” – Sounds as if you are truly living your authentic life. My rewards are also deep in my soul, which tells me that I am on the right path. My dream is to create an online tool to help people practice the art of life balance. To help my dream come true, today I am brainstorming different tools that will help people be accountable for their life balance goals. “My reward is not tangible.
