Are you a person who, if you don’t have anything to worry about, makes something up? Do you always think the worst of every situation? If you failed to win a tournament, do you say to yourself, “I failed. Therefore, I am a failure,” and from then on, you feel you are a complete failure?
With the Black Belt Attitude, you realize there are no absolutes in life. No one is absolutely ugly or absolutely beautiful. No one is totally stupid or totally brilliant, and no one is an absolute failure. Every person has their victories and defeats.
A person who sees life as an absolute will always be in a state of depression because they can never measure up to their own expectations.
As a Black Belt, you don’t see the world as black and white; you see it as gray. You never worry about what may happen tomorrow because your focus is on what is happening today. You never waste your time and energy worrying about what may never happen.
