FRIDAY THOUGHTS #108: TRAIN

Train.

One day. It happens. The relationship happens, the job happens, your fitness goals happen, your joy happens...one day, all of it happens when you consistently do the work. It's really that simple. The funny thing about it is that all of those things want to happen, the  Universe/God has all these beautiful things built inside of you waiting to be birthed...it just needs the correct soil to grow and one day bloom.

I truly believe that we can have and be literally anything we want if we have the courage/heart to endure the pain of the incubation period. Everything is hardest when you start, and everything will continue to be hard if you don't. Of course it takes a lot of energy and motivation to change any habit or addictions in life, of course it's not easy to change lol if it was easy everyone would do it. It's not supposed to be fucking easy! It's supposed to be possible...and possible it is. Don't let life punk and embarrass you, fight back. If you don't know how to fight, learn. 

One of the reasons why I love combat sports so much is that anyone can become good at these sports. Literally anyone can become a dangerous fighter by learning the techniques of fighting. I was never a fighter growing up, I just wanted to play sports and have fun with friends. I was never a punk either. I just didn't know how much of a knack that I had for fighting until I started training Boxing, then I fell in love with the sport altogether and never looked back. What made me good in Boxing, Muay Thai or jiu jitsu is that I was always a "student of the game" - I would always ask a million questions to my coaches and I slowly realized that fighting is like a math equation, you just have to learn the correct solution for every problem. Simple enough.

Life is the same way. There is a solution to absolutely every problem we can ever face, the issue is that the majority of people aren't training for life but somehow expect to win/be happy...it doesn't work like that.

Train: read, meditate, affirm, visualize, etc. Train and win your fights. Life isn't that difficult, we just make it much harder than it should. Do the inner/outer work and share your gifts with the world - the world needs what you have champion, continue to give it to them. #keepgoing
