Dear Me

I will live by the principles of black belt.

Modesty

Courtesy

Integrity

Perseverance

Courage

Indomitable Spirit

A black belt is just a white belt that never gave up.  As I prepare for foot surgery in Aug. I am reminding myself that I am a black belt in the making.  I am staying motivated to keep a positive outlook on my circumstance so that when I return to the mat a few months out, I will step right in where I left off.  

"To me, the extraordinary aspect of martial arts lies in its simplicity. The easy way is also the right way, and martial arts is nothing at all special; the closer to the true way of martial arts, the less wastage of expression there is."

Thank you for letting me share.
