Next Monday marks the halfway point of this year.

Twice per year, I write long reflection articles like these.

In part, they are for me. I like writing these longer articles as a way of digesting my life. However, I also think the lessons I’ve learned this year can help you, depending on which “bucket” you’re looking to improve in.

This article will go over what’s happening in the 5 major buckets of my life:

  • Jiu-Jitsu
  • Health and Fitness
  • Writing/Business
  • Personal Life/Relationships
  • Mental Health

Feel free to skip around, read only what’s interesting to you, and take what you need from this article. It is a long one.

Alright — let’s dive in.

Jiu-Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu in Austin is kind of crazy.

It doesn’t really make sense. Austin is not a very big city. It’s known for barbecue, being the capital of Texas, and having a lot of food trucks.

But it’s also known for being “weird”. Maybe that’s why it’s attracted so many grapplers. We are weirdos.
