An interesting quote.

"A person's errors are their portals of discovery." In thinking about this quote it helps me to let go of the inevitable frustrations that can arise when I can't quite seem to get a technique I am working on. Rather than looking at it as consistently failing, I can more easily recognize it as a part of the learning process. Maybe I am not displacing my opponent with my cut but I am gaining a better understanding of balance. At the very least I am learning what doesn't work. 🙂Seeing our mistakes as portals of discovery gives us permission to make mistakes as long as we are willing to learn from those mistakes. I would love to hear the thoughts of others.
