A positive outlook doesn’t mean that you should look elegant and feel like “queen of the night”. It simply means that we as a warrior must have a positive outlook on life where we can find our self as a successor and can surmount the monsters in our life.

When we know that we can help other people and can contribute to our society without hesitation, we can use our full strength to become spotters -- simply because we are going to spot others when they are going to fall. On the other side, we will realize that we cannot be strong at all the times since we have weaknesses too. There are times that we are very weak and will need others’ help, and that time we become fallers. You count on others regarding that it is out of your power.

3. Learn to recognize yourself inside and out. We have inner and outer aspects either negative or positive.
