I believe that all humans are malleable.  Like a piece of hot metal taking hits being molded into a masterpiece.  Our world, our lives, our craftsman.  Each hit an experience, a joy, a hurt, a belief.  We absorb each hit, slowly changing, slowly evolving.  But sometimes these hits are too hard and come down too fast.  Stifling us, cutting too deep.  But unlike that piece of metal which will eventually become a flawless sword we will never reach a perfect state.  And in there lies the beauty of it all.  The possibilities of all that can be.

 How sad it is when this metal becomes cold and rigid refusing to take the hits, refusing to reach any further thereby accepting its fate and remaining imperfect forever without the hope of ever becoming a masterpiece.

I know that I will never be the perfect mother, wife, daughter, martial artist or friend, but I refuse to settle in my imperfection.  Every day presents an opportunity for me to better myself and I plan to seize it.

Through these posts  I will share my thoughts, observations, hopes, and goals.  You may not always agree with what I do, think, or say which is why I welcome you to share your own thoughts and opinions.  This is after all how we keep from becoming that cold piece of metal.
