I am starting a new quest, a challenge, a journey that is going to push me to my limits and maybe even beyond. You can achieve nothing without risk, all our successes and all our failures start with risk. So I decided to take the risk, talked my wife Michelle into joining me and here we are. We are starting the UltimateBlack Belt Test which is a year long test that will push us physically (50,000 push ups, sit ups, squats 1,000 miles walked, 1,000 rounds of sparring, 1,000 reps of a form just to name a few) and mentally (daily meditation, weekly journal entries, designing curriculum, and leading a large number of community projects and environmental projects) but in the end it will be worth more than any test that I have ever taken. I am ready to change for the better, to take the first step on a new adventure. I hope that people will be willing to assist us and encourage us through out this year-and-a-half long test. And in return I hope that we will encourage and inspire you to take a risk. To try things you have been putting off or things you thought were too hard for you to do. Even in failure there are lessons to learn. If you learn from your failures or mistakes then you turn your failure into success.
