when i try to learn martial art, think how to get the black belt, though i left the class as early i join, but you explained and reveled the actual meaninig of balck belt, why it exclusive than others. martial art also helps and regain your confidence.
The real value of the Belt is in commitment, fortitude and dedication to self improvement.
This is how to develop personal inner strength and confidence.
Once past the need for confidence, the soul is more free.
