Success

Black belt cycle is hard, its meant to be, but you learn so much about yourself in the process. Even if you don't pass the test at the end, thats not really what its about. Arthur Ashe once said, "Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome." The black belt cycle is hard for a reason, its supposed to challenge you--physically, mentally, emotionally--but the way you become better is by persevering through the worst times and making an effort to become stronger and get through it. This cycle is only going to get harder but if you go in with the mindset that you grow as a person whether you pass or fail, you will have grown far more than someone that thinks they must get their black belt to succeed.

With that being said, happy Wednesday and Happy Brithday Ms. Jen! My day was better than yesterday, hot day at the park but a good time! ~ Peyton
