I really appreciate the opportunity to choose some meaningful words to inscribe on my black belt -- it's going to be such a cool reminder of what this test means to each of us.
My affirmation is:
DARE TO BE GREAT
This phrase reminds me that I have a choice every day regarding how I approach the challenges and opportunities that come my way. Pretty much any potentially great situation or experience is going to require me to take a risk and put myself out there where I'm vulnerable. Even though it's often safer and more comfortable to stay on the sidelines or float along in the crowd, I know that I have to be willing to take chances and stretch outside my comfort zone in order to achieve something great.

Your affirmation reminds me that's it OK to stand out and do you're best even though others do what feels comfortable. And I really like how you summed it up in a couple of words!
