When It’s Necessary to Confront Yourself with Tate
In this episode, we have invited my friend Tate, a Professional Wrestler, Musician, and Actor. Today, Tate will share his inspiring journey to being a wrestler. He will talk about the light and darkness that he experienced and how he fought these battles.
Falling in Love with Wrestling
[01:26]
As a kid, Tate felt he wasn’t too cool and he struggled to fit in. Wrestling became interesting to him during his younger years. It made him live vicariously through the good and bad guys. It gave him certain confidence and excitement. It created an interesting escape for him. That’s when he got infatuated and obsessed.
Wrestling School
[05:10]
When Tate was 14 years old, he would go to shops and read magazines where he found an advert about a wrestling school in London. Living in poverty, h didn’t have much money so he begged and pleaded, and fortunately, they let him in.
Getting Lost
[07:50]
Tate had an angry personality as a kid. During his wrestling years, he fell into drugs and alcohol, thinking these would make him look cool. He said all these things were a bad mix and doing too much of all the silly stuff caused issues in his family that led him homeless at some point.
Road to Recovery
[19:04]
Tate described strong internal communication when he attended a ceremony.
[20:46]
There was one big message that quickly made him stop smoking and doing drug abuse. Within six months, he recalled that he was a completely different person.
[27:40]
The only thing you fear is comfort. If you're in an uncomfortable thing, then you're learning something.
Presenting Yourself Again
[32:26]
Tate mentioned that there's such a grand spectrum of personality types. When he became aware that he was going to become a cliché, he thought of presenting himself in a way that seems more respectable, so a grander stage of people will hear and see him.
Radical Honesty with Yourself
[38:01]
According to Tate, he couldn't deny the fact that there was darkness as well. He has come to an understanding that there has to be a balance. You have to be comfortable with darkness and light.
[41:15]
He advised acknowledging that all comes from you. It's your responsibility and has nothing to do with the outside world. Recognize the negative things and emotions within yourself. Know when to stop them and then follow the light and its source.
Back to Passion
[44:14]
Tate did training sessions because he always asked himself and wondered to come back. But other forces are telling him that the timing was not right.
[44:48]
He felt it was impossible to be back to wrestling again because he went far down to drugs
[45:40]
When Tate finally went back to wrestling, he was ear to ear beaming and giddy. He recalled that it was one of the most beautiful moments in his life.
[46:37]
It’s your choice to look at things in a positive way to commit yourself.
