The Inner Power of Peace and Calm

This was forwarded to me from a dear friend a few days ago.                                      
                                                            .........................................
Do you remember the Star Wars movies and the great wisdom that came through the little character, Yoda? One of his great wisdom teachings has stayed with me a long time.
Luke asks the wise one, "How do I know the right decision to make? Among all the many decisions, how do I know the one that will be with the force?"

Yoda looks at him and says, "You will know through peace and calm. You will know you're on the right track when you're not feeling frantic, when you're not feeling anxious, when you're not struggling with different parts of yourself. When you get to the right answer and the right decision that is yours, there will be a peace and calm that will come from within you and radiate from you."
                                                      ....................................................
I think its remarkable advice and insight. This is so much of what I’ve been working towards for the past few years and which has developed in me through kung fu. When I first read this, I felt this total understanding of what Yoda said.

When we speak of control, this is absolutely what needs to transpire inside ourselves. Once this stage of mind control is achieved everything will change, our total thought process and mental and physical results will be altered.

This is very exciting for me as my journey has been to achieve this quality within myself.  It is far from over, but to feel what I need to feel within is the beginning of a new stage in my journey.
I feel the true test of where this new insight and development is within me; will be revealed in my sparring ability. I know it may sound way out there, but I feel this certain peace and calming over a lot of who I am and through my approach to who I am I what I do.  So, I’m looking forward to my test.
