Getting lost can be a positive experience if you can keep the inner relaxation. Consider a tough guy with big muscle out in the desert. If he is free inside to navigate by the stars and realize he is mortal and move in the night and use for example his urine as liquid (living is more than pride and preference) than he will accept what he can and cannot do and live. If he decides to tough it out and march in the heat and pardon my french piss away his life than he will do just that.
As you travel one tends to set a course and follow it wheather it is right or even proper. As you drive or move with your body, be aware of the posibilities and use them with thought and consideration. If you are moving your fist toward the chest of another and he is moving it sideways than in the opposite direction he has no drive. For example try to cut bread and change direction while the knife is full into the bread. It will be harder to do than if you simply remove the knife and continue to cut from another direction. Be logical.
As you move in a fight see that your actions count. A few hits from a person who is not aligned and tense will not stop another or a few and you will loose energy simply from fighting yourself. Today I trained with a friend and I only responded to a few hits that might have left a mark on my face. The hits to the body were coming from the force generated from the imbalance so if the mindset is right it’s simply someone that leans on you fast. No harm in that other than to him who gets all the energy back to the head and may fracture his wrists.
Not all movement has to be a strike or strike oriented. Not all hits go to the body. If you have no plan, you are free. Remember the basic principles and use them as guides. Letting go of your intentions will allow for your true nature to manifest and true freedom from within. Smile
