I meant to write a few weeks back after I lost my match at the Wilson Bro’s Grappling Invitational. I wanted to write about out about how we can give our all to something and still come up short. I wanted to share about how because of this opportunity, I got to train my ass off and if it weren’t for that said opportunity I wouldn’t have had that extra push to better myself. So I am grateful for that.

I haven’t been able to make the time to write though, time kept going by. Suddenly it was fight week for my spouse and I felt like I needed to focus on helping him get to his fight and that I could do my side projects, write my blog entries later.

Later came, then we had friends in town so I put it all off some more, then by the time I finally felt like I had time, the inspiration/motivation was gone.

It always starts as an ‘excuse’ as little or harmless as it may seem. Especially after these last few weeks of barely making any forward progress, I know the excuses I had were invalid, they all kept me small and the same.

Our ego fears growth and change so it will tell you anything you want to hear to stop you from doing what you need to.

So when I get like this, I usually write out a to do list, when it’s been weeks of being uninspired and being unable to create - I make the list and then I won’t do anything on it(lol cue in anxiety).

So how do you get back on your bullshit?
