How to Get Whatever You Want
Live like a kid in a candy store.
This weekend, I’m competing in the biggest Jiu-Jitsu tournament of my life.
But this article is not about the tournament — I’m honestly ready to be done talking about the tournament. All I’ve really done for the last 2 years is think about ADCC, try to get into ADCC, and sacrifice my body so that I could make that dream a reality.
All I’ve done for the last 2 months is talk about this ADCC. I honestly just want to do it and move on.
Instead of talking about matchups, speculation, or training, what I want to talk about today is the journey to get here. That’s really what my blog is about anyway. Journeys, processes, and systems to help people reach their goals.
I’m convinced, after my experience over the last few months, that what Paulo Coehlo says in The Alchemist is true:
“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
Let’s talk about desire, happiness, and how to navigate the ups and downs of trying to be “successful”.
Desire is a problem.
I recently have dealt with a bit of stress-induced insomnia.
