antonio maza motivation

Hello my name is Antonio and I’m going to talk to you about my motivations, and why they motivates me?
My greatest motivation is Ninjutsu, which is a martial art. Its philosophy has greatly influenced my life and since I live in Mexico City the combat techniques are useful if you are alone in the street (luckily I have never had to use them).
I guess that Ninjutsu started to be on of my motivations the day I learned it existed, because I felt it was a place where I fitted perfectly , I started to have a different perspective upon the world and upon life. One of the things that I like most, about Ninjutsu, it is the way it makes me feel when I’m surrounded by nature, for the feeling is a warm, peaceful one , as if I had never met the word “problem” or experienced sadness.
In a certain way I would like to be the best in Ninjutsu but in a weird I would rather be one of the best (so one of the best but not the best), I guess being the best at Ninjutsu is not my biggest aim.
Part of Ninjutsu is having balance in mind an body, in other word to have a good physical condition and a peaceful mind ( which is quite hard to achieve)
Ninjutsu has influenced my believing and motivated me to be more confident when I take decisions. Also to be more responsible with stuff in general.
As I said before I would like to become one of the best in Ninjutsu and use it to do good thing in this world (maybe stop a war, if possible).
My friends motivate me a lot in the acrobatic part of Ninjutsu because it isn’t my strongest ability , its not that I don’t have the physical condition to do them (well maybe for one or two I need to improve my condition), it is that I don’t commit to it as I should, so I guess that’s another goal in my life, to improve my acrobatics part of Ninjutsu.
Every time I watch Naruto , which is anime and it has ninjas and many cool things, I am motivate to practice Ninjutsu and to give my best at it.
Something that also motivates me is music, the percussion part mostly. I play the drum kit and I enjoy it very much, the bad part is that I don’t get to play as much a I would like to, because my drum kit is in my mum house because I only go Mondays to take one hour lesson. My favorite percussion band is Safri Duo, so they are a kind of a motivation to me (in the musical part of my life). I play the drum kit because it relaxes me if I’m stressed and I feel good when I play. I would like to become as good as Safri Duo, although is quite hard. I am also motivated to be better than my drum teacher in some exercises which I slowly achieving (I think).
