Karate tip – Do not worry about when you get there, just get there.

Sensei Noia has said something for the few years that I have trained under him but it really didn’t sink in until he said it last night.

He said something along the lines of “Don’t worry about when you get your belt, just get there.” The point he was making is that it doesn’t matter if I get my blackbelt, or any belt for that matter, today, tomorrow, three years or 10 years from now, just get there and stop worrying about when I get there.
