As spring comes upon us once again, so does our Las
Vegas Training Camp. With so many new Schools and students
joining our Association, it is very important that we
all learn to be patient, understanding and tolerant
of everyone's weaknesses, yet also learn to acknowledge
everyone's strong points. We must try to be loving,
compassionate and forgiving of each other's acts, even
if you disapprove.
Remember: Patience is the practical expression of
faith, hope, wisdom and love. It is a very active emotion.
Patience is emotional diligence.
Love people for their good qualities and forgive them
for their mistakes. Accept people as they are, and the
different environments to watch we have all been exposed,
realizing each personality is a product of heredity
and experience. Let us be the first to give a friendly
sign. The first to nod, to smile, and if necessary,
the first to forgive! Greeting each other with a smile,
and a handshake is the beginning of a wonderful friendship.
Remember, the key to happiness is love, understanding,
tolerance and sympathy. Keep developing your true self,
which can only be found on the inside, not on the outside.
Kenpo was designed to develop us spiritually and emotionally,
as well as mentally and physically. I love you all and
wish you the greatest success in your exciting journey
through Kenpo and life. Hopefully, I can stir your imagination
and touch your spirit through my teachings.
Again, I feel the need to extend my sincere gratitude
to all of you who make the AKKI and the art of Kenpo
what it is today!
