Black Belt Leaders & Champions know what they want and they decide in advance what actions they are going to take to get it. High achievers predict their future by creating it, everyday.

Simply meaning to look into your future and decide exactly what you want and what you are willing do to get it. A wise man once said: “If life, you get what you expect and accept!”  High achievers know that success isn’t a matter of luck; it is a matter of deciding what you want and then going for it. When you decide you want a life filled with health, wealth and happiness, you begin to attract all the things that lead you in the direction of your dreams.

Earl Nightingale says: “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”

The more you think about what you want in your future, whether you’re looking at tomorrow, the next few weeks or the next few years, the greater chance you have of making your life better. The more you focus on the Black Belt Leader & Champion you want to be, the more likely you will become that Black Belt Leader & Champion. Thoughts lead to Action, actions lead to results!

Black Belt Leaders & Champions decide in advance that they are going to achieve greatness in the Martial Arts. Some seek higher levels of skills and ability in combative application, while others seek excellence in their performance skills. Some decide to become great Martial scholars and teachers, while others decide in advance to become experts in executive administration. Either way, you must decide in advance what you want, and then commit to making it happen. Do it now!

There is an old Chinese saying that goes: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” This means that we are all exactly where we are suppose to be in life. I will never forget when I realized this for the first time. There are many lessons we are not ready for. This is why the Master teacher or instructor looks for effort, not skill. They realize that it takes time to learn anything of value. In fact, I often tell my students that, “Anything that’s worth while takes awhile.” Simply put, the best things in life and the most valuable lessons will only come to you when you are ready to receive them. This is why the peak performance warrior is in no hurry other than to remain aware, alert, and ready to learn. This takes effort. The skill always comes in time.
