Growth Through Adversity
It isn’t a surprise that most people quit when the going gets tough, it’s easy to say they tried and just couldn’t make it. However, they never changed what they were doing to be successful, because in the past they have triumphed with their effort. The real wins come in battle though, when your face is pushed against the cage and you know that you closing in on some final actions before it’s lights out. That opening you noticed and drilled one thousand times with your jujitsu instructor just occurred, do you take it? Risk it? What more do you have to lose by trying and being successful? The best contests and most revered come from those who put everything on the line to win.
The Fight Rope is the competitor you want on your side, the ones that you have to kill to get them to quit. The ones that put their lives on the line for combat sports. The animal you feed in the gym is the animal you expect in life to come to your aid when all the chips are in. No one will rescue you, no one is coming to bail you out, and no one cares about how bad things get if you don’t let anyone know or make a change. You have to aggressively make changes to win at life and get what you want. If that means taking an extra shift to buy that new sound mixer, then you do it.
