One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.

“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.”

– Master Oogway

Sometimes we choose paths to get away from someone or something, only to find that the path takes us someplace we didn’t expect, or even toward what we tried to avoid in the first place.  We are all destined to do great things, we just have to overcome whatever is holding us back and more toward that greatness. However, greatness will be defined differently for each individual.

When I teach to live with the Warrior’s Edge, it is to live with the edge given by training and adhering to the positive traits of warriors. To live by the guiding principles of honor, integrity, determination, and discipline. Training to help others and living by these principles gives us an edge in life. And with this edge, the Warrior’s Edge, we can all do the great things we are destined to do, regardless of the road or path we choose. That is, as long as the path is one of doing good and doing what’s right.
