White Belt Eyes

White belt eyes.  The eyes of the beginner.  

To have white belt eyes is to see that all the skill one wants to achieve is yet to come. 

 It is to accept that all the knowledge one wants to learn will come through time, training and hard work.

To have white belt eyes is to put ego aside and accept someone else as a teacher:  To "empty one's cup".

To have white belt eyes is to believe that the knowledge one has is a raindrop compared to the ocean of knowledge one will learn.

Having white belt eyes means one has stepped out of one's comfort zone, has walked into something new and unknown.

One who has white belt eyes has sacrificed the known and the comfortable for something new and unkown and quite possibly scary.

When is the last time you looked at the world through white belt eyes?
