Here’s something beautiful about aspiration: when we do it right, it brings us such joy! When we desire to grow in a certain way, and when we get motivated and excited about that, it’s so contagious. Aspiration is joy. And joy can fuel and foster our aspiration.

If a three year old can remember this many lines of her martial arts creed, trust that you can find the motivation to do whatever your aspiration is leading you to do.

If you need a vow of aspiration for the weekend, the first line of this one works well!

I will! develop myself! in a positive manner! and avoid! anything! that will reduce! my mental growth! or my physical health!
