Azuki BeaN Sticks

Sensei BeaN wants to pass on what he's learned to his students.  He wrote down some lessons that helped him gain self confidence and a winning attitude.

Lesson 1:  Gratitude  

Lesson 2: Respect

Lesson 3:  Clear Mind

Lesson 4:  Responsibility

Lesson 5:  Perseverance

Lesson 6:  Kindness

Lesson 7:  Dignity

Lesson 8:  Self Confidence

Sensei BeaN wrote the lesson on the back of a tongue depressor after he painted them with acrylic paint.  He is a karate instructor but more than that he is a Sensei - teacher!  These sticks can now serve as book markers or dice (put it in a paper bag reaching in and grabbing one, move the number of spaces) or reminders of lessons that need review or as positive affirmations to keep with you when you need it. 

BeaNspiration:  Pass on the positive lessons that you gather through your journey!
