What does the black belt version of you look like?
For me, as a 20+ year martial arts practitioner, black belt represents something much greater than combat or performance abilities.
Black belt represents potential fought for; potential realized; potential unleashed.
It’s a firm commitment to the realization of a greater version of yourself. A version that’s disciplined; focused; confident; respectful; generous. A 2.0 version that’s built to handle to challenges presented by life.
What does your black belt version look like? Even if you never plan on stepping foot into a Dojang (although I think it’s beneficial for most everybody)—a deep visualization practice can produce a life-changing image.
Because once you see this version clearly in your mind, you can finally start to reverse engineer your way to that 2.0 you. Without it, 1.0 you is all you’ll ever know. And you can’t reverse engineer to what you don’t know.
Close your eyes and start building.
