Inspirational quotes has always been a sort of "soul food" or perhaps rather "mental fast-food" for a lot of people - yours truly for one.

Side note: Just a quick reminder about all the free stuff inside 'The Martial Arts Vault'; check it out!

A "simple" and short phrase or one-liner can often times make you stop and think. An inspiring quote may be likened to a higly visible and guiding sign-post at times when you're briefly in need for direction. Mind you, it doesn't need to be some truly mind-boggling mystery you're occupied with; A profound soul-searching or grave problem like the ones we are all bound to face sooner or later in life. Thankfully, most things are not a matter of life or death!

Rather (at least this is my experience), we are surrounded by everyday challenges and obstacles. Sometimes they take on gigantic proportions, other times they are tiny things, like choosing a path at some point in your life. Sometimes they are perceived, other times they are real. Perhaps it's a major decision, that probably will affect you for the rest of your life. Or maybe it's a minor thing, and whatever the way the wind blows, it'll be ok :-)

Like a destillation of thoughts:

Big or small, life-changing or not, humans have probably always pondered upon the mysteries of being and the choices that we have. And sometimes these thoughts have been destilled into phrases or lines that we later can read or hear as inspirational quotes.

This page and it's sub-pages will cover these inspirational thoughts that have been destilled into words, which we later can quote and enjoy. Since the overall theme here is martial arts, I have tried, and will continue trying, to pick words of wisdom that has to do with fighting, fear, obstacles, anger, aggression, attitude, abilities, focus, energy, winning, losing, co-operation, preparation, strategy and such.

Every now and then you will find some of these thoughts being put up here. On the subsequent sub-pages you will eventually find others in abundance. Pick and choose! Let yourself be inspired, provoked, motivated, thoughtful, happy, amused - or maybe even bewildered or angry! Do trust your own mind - if it goes astray it will find it's way back eventually :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong...:

It's obvious that I, unintentionally of course, may have occationally mis-spelled something, or that other unfortunate mishaps may show up. If you see anything, I'd appreciate you telling me so. All of these inspirational quotes, phrases and words of wisdom have an author - they do stem from someone or somewhere! If I know the source I will say so. If I am wrong, then I will rectify the error if and when it is pointed out to me.

So - what are we waiting for? Why not let our brain do the walking - for a change?

"The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them."

(G. B. Shaw)
