This is a wonderful quote that conceptualizes Aikido, through regular training, your individual personality will emerge.
The training one does in the dojo: physical, mental, social, etc., provides one the ability to interact with others from many walks of life and in the long-term provides one a way to become 'whole.'
By availing oneself to the incredible individuals you cross paths at the dojo, and in daily life, deepens your journey.
What and who are your foundations?
