We seem to live for our limits rather than our goals, but what if we lived a LIMITLESS existence? What if we BELIEVED in ourselves rather than sell ourselves short? As a professional MMA fighter, I often psyched myself out of believing in myself. I convinced myself that I could not hang with the best in the game. I sometimes even had arguments with coaches and teammates where I "justified" my complete lack of belief in myself. It's impossible to know whether or not I would have ever reached the top of my division in the UFC, but my mindset most certainly did not help me reach my goal. I did not believe I could beat the best, so I was never the best. I cannot guarantee that you will reach the goal you're chasing, but I can assure you this: regardless of the end result, you will have a much more meaningful, empowering journey if you CHOOSE to believe in yourself.

Here's where NEVER giving up took me. I'd been chasing my goal of qualifying for the ADCC World Champion since I was 20 years, and it always seems to elude me. I tried and failed to get into the most prestigious grappling tournament in the world for 18 years. I took 2nd and 3rd multiple times at the qualifers, and, as time passed, my dream seemed to distance itself from reality. Yet I kept training, I kept teaching, and I kept trying to become the best version of myself that I could ever become. Now at 38 years old, well past my physical prime, with two kids and a wife, I was unexpectedly invited to compete at the 2019 ADCC World Championship. Let this serves as a lesson for you and me: never let failure, others' opinions or your own disappointment prevent you from chasing your goals. DON'T EVER GIVE UP.

Rule #4 for me and my kids: if you're scared of something, you have to do it. When fear runs your life, you live in a constant state of regret. Well, there's only one person that can change that pattern, and it's YOU. YOU can take charge of your own life, look at fear in the eyes and say "Not today." Take risks, make mistakes, fail, succeed, but most importantly live the life YOU want to live, and not the one fear dictates for you. Happy Friday, everyone, go find your power.
