I Got a Promotion
Two weeks ago, Professor presented me with my blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
It was quite an honor and yes, I was proud of that accomplishment.
But, it did not magically make me better.
I have continued to follow the plan laid out for me, week after week, session after session and I knew that I was further along my path than when I began four years ago.
The belt is one of those things we call a lag indicator, the work goes before the promotion.
Too many in society want a promotion before putting in the work.
When you focus on the process in life, you know what you are capable of, you are much more self aware.
I competed in bodybuilding for a number of years. Someone asked me about being a bodybuilder recently. I told them, ‘I was never a bodybuilder. Bodybuilding was just something I did’.
Point being, externals don’t define you.
You know who you are and if not, maybe you are focusing too much on the externals.
As within, so without.
