Choices

You can accomplish just about anything you would like to do in life, but you will need to make sacrifices and choices for anything you wish to achieve. I shouldn’t be a black belt in BJJ, and I shouldn’t have an art degree, but I do, and it’s not because of natural talent. Those are things I chose to focus on. I can pretty much lose weight any time I want, but oftentimes I slack on how I eat or what I eat, and I get heavy. That’s a choice I make and a sacrifice I don’t make too often. Everything you want is probably on the other side of doing something difficult and if you’re not willing to do the difficult things then you won’t get the desired result. I don’t want to have a 26 class per week schedule or wake up at 4:30am 4x/week, then go to bed after 11pm, but I do, because that’s the life I chose and that’s how I can do what I set out to do at 15 years old. No matter what you choose to do, accomplishing something is never all rainbows and unicorn farts. Make the choices that align with the desired outcome, or it won’t be the outcome you get.
