This year, for myself, I believe, is a year of direction. A year of focus. And what I do with the time and resources I have now will dramatically (more so than normal) affect 2012. This is a year of preparation for what's to come in 2012.
I don't know everything that's going to happen next year. In fact, I know very few details. However, there is something in my heart that tells me next year is going to be a big year and this is the year to completely focus on the goals that I have set and to accomplish them.
How does this relate to the Black Belt Test? Earning my BB is going to play a major role. And not just in my life as a martial artist or in teaching or anything that normally comes to mind. Call me crazy or over zealous, but I truly believe that earning my belt will have more affect than what comes to first mind. Again, I don't know exactly how, but this is something that I just know. Call it intuition if you must call it something.
This weekend, I was told, "This is your time. Run with it." And over and over this weekend, I have heard the phrase, "Run with it." When I hear that phrase, it tells me to not look back. Don't stop. Keep to the course and focus on the goal. Stay strong. Believe. It tells me that hard work will be required, but I can do it. Persevere. Live out your dreams. Run with it.
I know this is all vague. I wish I could be more specific. But sometimes you just have to suppress the urge to describe everything exactly as it is and just let it be. Let there be a vagueness, a mystery. It entices me, it draws me in to seek and dig deeper.
