To live that lifestyle...To make that income...To make that business successful...To climb that mountain...To get that body...To achieve that goal...To fulfill your dreams...Getting your Black Belt is just a different form of these things.Physically they differ, but structurally they are the same.They differ in form, but the underlying journey is the same. To do whatever it is you want to do, have, become... you must develop your attitude for it."In order to do something you've never done, you've got to become someone you've never been." ~ Les BrownThe color change of a belt in any discipline signifies a change of person. The belt won’t change if the person does not. This applies off the mat as well. Your circumstances won’t change if you do not change.The results you're getting won’t change if you do not change. Your life will not change until you decide to. Who you are when you have a white belt is not the same person who will be wearing a black belt. And for this reason, NO ONE REALLY GETS A BLACK BELT. For we are not the same person we were when we started the journey when we finish it. And on our journey, change is constant. WE BECOME A BLACK BELT, THEN OUR BELT REFLECTS THAT CHANGE.
