so i've been thinking these past few months about endurance. and not just in the physical sense. in the mental sense. i want my bb. not because i can get it, but because it will mean that i earned it, i worked hard, and sacrificed to achieve it. it's not going to just be a belt. it's going to be a symbol of endurance, of victory, of achievement.
and it's caused me to think about my future. for a few years now, i've been out of school. i've had no desire to go back for a long time. but i know that in order to get where i want, i need to go. and so now, it's looking more appealing. in fact, i want to do it now.
will it be a long road? yes. will it be challenging? yes. will it be worth it? most definitely.
testing, training for my bb has shown me that if i really want something, i can get it. doesn't matter how long, hard, or how many obstacles i need to over come. i. can. do. it.
this test has proven to be invaluable. and if it was for this reason alone-to prove to myself that i can do it (it's not, but it's a big reason)-i would do it all over again in a new york minute. and let's not forget the amazing friendships formed from this, the confidence that has been improved in everyone, the endurance that's been refined. we've all grown and changed, together as a team and also individually.
