Desire is the seed of every dream. When you yearn for something-when your dreams appears with perfect clarity in your mind-that is the moment when desire burns brightest. And when you truely have a burning desire for something, a voice inside says: “I will over come all obstacles to achieve this.”
When that voice tells you that you want to attain Black Belt, then you know the seed of Black Belt desire has been planted. From that moment on, the desire to attain Black Belt provides the strength to succeed, even in the most difficult circumstances. At every stage of your training, the belt becomes a precious symbol of the commitment you’ve made to your goal.
