I'll never have balance that way.

No? Your knee will heal right and you'll be able to walk without a limp again. Sounds like having balance to me.

Doesn't feel that way. Feels like it's never going to heal. But, that's not what I mean, man. I mean balance inside. Like, with my feelings and peace and stuff.

It'll heal. It's going to take time and patience, but it'll heal. How you're feeling inside will heal too, but I gotta admit, that'll probably take longer.

How are you feeling? They told me phys therapy was a little rough for you today. Something about you trying to do too much too soon again?

I feel like crap. I have all this anger and energy pent up inside me and the only way I know how to deal with it is to do karate and I can't do karate because my knee is busted.

I just wanna go home and do karate and for everything to go back to normal.

Believe it or not, that's kind of a good thing. Not you feeling like crap, I mean. I mean you still being motivated. A lot of people in your situation, they lose that fire.

Everything can go back to normal. But you've gotta stop pushing yourself so hard all the time, Daniel. It's-- it's like feeding a fire too much wood. You know what happens when you do that? It chokes and dies, because the fire needs air too, not just fuel.

That sounds like one of Mr Miyagi's life lessons.

It just sucks, man. I just want to get back to doing karate. Instead, I'm stuck doing bullshit exercises that feel like they're doing nothing to get me back on my feet. When can I start kicking again?
