“Karate people must be humble.” ??
.
Humility is a very important human trait that all people should exercise in their lives. Being humble means you aren’t too big for any lesson that may come your way. The core significance of being humble is that humility keeps you constantly receptive to opportunities for improvement.
.
In karate, negotiating the steep slopes of training and improving, from beginner to blackbelt, is made increasingly difficult the further along you get. One surefire way to keep improving is being humble and listening to your instructors.
.
Often, people can get caught up in their own self-belief, their own ego. Humility ensures that you are always receptive to correction and constructive criticism, especially from those with more experience.
.
To be able to balance self-confidence and creativity without coming across as boastful can be one of the hardest things to do.
.
The truth of the matter is that humility is a characteristic of a real martial artist. Those who lack humility will never truly reach their potential.
.
During our training, we often focus too much on our strengths. At the highest level, however, we must look deep into ourselves and face our weaknesses head-on. Being humble allows us to do this, it allows us to accept our faults and failures much easier.
.
As long as you are focused on doing good for others, even if you stumble into amazing opportunities, you can be sure that your humility is intact.
.
Always remain humble enough to know there is ALWAYS room for improvement. Because no matter what level you are, there IS always room for improvement.

“Humility is nothing but truth, and pride is nothing but lying.” ~ St. Vincent de Paul
