IMHO, some of our best training comes from embracing (entering and blending) with resistance and opposition (negativity).

If we all agree, there is nothing new to learn.

Thanks for reading and responding.
Thoughts...

Training is one thing...its easy to learn from negativity on the mat...off it there is a constant barrage of sniping, what ifs, comparisons and criticism.

So sometimes in Aikido a teflon gi is needed

Deal with negativity - yes...be swayed by negativity ...no.

In the words of Sir Harry Lauder...

Keep right on to the end of the road....Keep right on to the end..

Stiff upper lip and all that....
