Confidence in adults is at an all time low in our society
Because we have allowed convenience and busy-ness to replace intentional effort and commitment to being uncomfortable
We get so worried about not being able to do the thing, before it’s ever been done that we seek our fate because we never end up trying
That kind of story becomes a habit that haunts you.
Gradings aren’t designed to show how bad people are, or how good they are - they’re designed to show you what you’re made of.
To give you a safe place to push past comfort, to create evidence that even when things are challenging you can create success, to give you an opportunity to prove to YOURSELF that just because something is hard, or scary that it is not impossible for you.
Gradings help us, show you just how far you have come.
The fitness that you may not realise you’ve developed
The skills you’ve actually learned and can now implement
The calm you can actually keep in stressful situations
The way something can hurt but it doesn’t fold you
And doing it side by side with the friends you’ve made in a community that genuinely wants to see you win means that you’ll never walk out with your head down.
A huge congratulations to these warriors today who made us and more importantly themselves proud.
