Remember to be thankful
As we make our way up through our belt system in martial arts, overcoming one challenge after another in our continuing quest to keep improving, it is easy to be consumed by the newfound power of our skills.
So, it's important to constantly remind ourselves of how far we've come along, how we began as a humble white belt, which is like a clean slate. In fact, it is good practice to regularly put ourselves in the shoes of a white belt again so we understand how our mindset has evolved.
There are too many examples of high achievers who have let their ego take over and cloud their judgement and the memory of their humble beginnings.
Remember to always be thankful for how far you've had the opportunity to come along.
