Take some motivation from this my sisters and brothers....
I qualified today for my 3rd degree black belt in American Kenpo. I am not one to brag but I can say I am very proud of this accomplishment. I have been studying Kenpo for 43 of my 49 years and received my black belt at 18. I have stuck with it day in and day out for the next 31 years and was reward for my efforts with something that very few people will ever accomplish. At one time my father was ranked #10 in the world in Okinawa Kenpo and he was the driving force behind my dedication and commitment.
I am living proof that if you believe in something strong enough and align your lifestyle to what you believe in you can achieve what very few people will ever accomplish.
Although I am a former Marine I loved the old Army slogan "Be All That You Can Be". The only limitations that we have are the ones we place on ourselves.
