I think i’m gonna be promoted soon. Don’t want to tho b/c I feel like I’m not good enough & enjoy being a blue belt. I know it’s not my place to judge and there is nothing I can do which kind of helps actually. Anybody been there?

    Yeah, I got this at blue and at purple, it’s imposter syndrome. I spent a while at purple, so I felt ready when I got the brown.

    Purple I kinda felt a bit of a weight lifted off my shoulders, in terms of the journey to black. When you get the blue, the gap to black feels like a yawning gulf. The two years to blue is less than a quarter way there, it’s kinda daunting. I feel thatight be a part of the blue belt blues for a lot of folk.

    Purple felt like a halfway mark almost. You know you’re improving, gotta keep working hard. I also kinda felt that if I make it to purple, I’m gonna be in this for life, regardless of belts
