They say, “Keep doing everything you can and more to get where you want to be. If you don’t get there, at least you tried.”
I want to add another point to this. Keep doing everything you can and more
- even if it feels hopeless
- without focusing extensively on the expected “reward”
- using your Willpower and calm, determined Intent that has really nothing to do with “normal” human desires and emotions
Wishes and desires of a social human being and focused, pure intent of a warrior are totally different things.
