As rank progress, the test becomes less of physical ability, but rather to ability to accept responsibility for living the path, internalizing the lessons of those around you, and passing on the gift you have been given. Without continuing growth, this is of course impossible.<br /><br />I would strongly encourage the newly promoted to think of the responsibility they have been given along with their new standing.fishyswazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517297354142604139noreply@blogger.com
