Are you someone who, if you have nothing to worry about, invents something to stress over? Do you always imagine the worst possible outcome?
If you lose a tournament, do you think, "I failed, so I am a failure," and then see yourself as a complete failure from that point on?
With a Black Belt Attitude, you understand there are no absolutes in life. No one is entirely ugly or entirely beautiful.
No one is completely stupid or completely brilliant, and no one is an absolute failure. Everyone has their victories and defeats.
A person who sees life in absolutes will always feel depressed because they can never live up to their own expectations.
As a Black Belt, you don't see the world in black and white; you see it in shades of gray.
You focus on what is happening today, not on what might happen tomorrow. You don't waste time and energy worrying about things that may never happen.
