Battles.
I think the battles we wage inside our heads have the most casualties and are fought the longest. Sometimes never ending. Our internal struggles are relentless. The one thing we should be at peace with the most is ourselves. Sadly I think it is rare. Self doubt, insecurities, uncertainty and our idea of others perception of us are all instigators of the conflicts we wage within. Personal wars are fueled by so many things depending on the individual themselves but a key accelerant is a lack of self image. But are we struggling with what we think our image should be or society or a few select others?
I would like to think a Ninja would be at peace with who they are. Alway striving to improve upon their skills but excepting of themselves. Having the clarity and peace with oneself. Yes, that is what I would like to think.
Be at peace
I think the majority of us beat ourselves up over what someone else thinks we should be - fighting those outside forces can be tough and many of us started that battle when we were young. Hopefully in addition to the 'negative' forces, we have positive ones as well - constantly reminding us how amazing we truly are. Be at peace with your amazingness.
