My life changed for the better when I realized that most problems out there are better off when I stay out of it. And instead just looking in the mirror and asking how can I be better myself.
The actions you take today have the potential to uplift those around you. Your energy doesn’t end with you. It ripples outward.
Constantly strive to be a man of integrity living a life of purpose and meaning. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. True character is revealed in the moments of greatest challenge.
Being the one to apologize first takes strength and courage that is rare nowadays.
If you tell yourself you’re not skilled, not lovable, not important, or not deserving, you’ll attract situations in life that will prove your current mindset correct. Only when you change the internal story will life reflect your true worth, open new doors, and remind you of the love and power already within you. It all starts with the way you speak to yourself.
Fighting fire with fire just spreads more flames. The real solution to many problems I see today is love, peace, harmony, and communication. Division, blame, hate, and finger pointing only make things worse. Choose connection instead. It’s the best way to move forward.
Taking a moment to be grateful before meals has been one of the more important daily practices I do. It shifts me out of autopilot, turns eating into a ritual, and reminds me of the blessing it is to have food in front of me. Pause before your next meal. Take one deep breath, and name five things you’re grateful for. Chew your food a little slower and longer and see if you notice a difference.
My life is clearly superior when I’m training a martial art three times per week versus when I’m not. I recommend trying ten brazilian jiu-jitsu classes in a month if you’re new. Brotherhood, confidence building, functional movement, self-defense, and a competitive outlet. It’s good stuff.
