Take Action

Progress comes from taking action. Thinking about something is not enough to move it forward. That can be applied to anything in life, whether it is weight loss, work, relationships, or grappling, you must do something to move forward. I think you can manifest a lot in your life, but manifestation comes from putting things in motion. Nothing just finds you. I set a goal when I was in my early twenties to use jiu jitsu to move me out of Tucson. I would apply when I saw jobs and I continued working on my grappling sacrificing a normal 20 something life for the goal I had. At 29 that goal came to fruition, but I had to put a lot of work in to get to that point. The year leading up to my move, I competed the most I ever had, I put significant work into my diet and conditioning, and I was always in the gym. I put the work in that made the opportunities appear. You can snowball the things you want into your life, but first you need to take action.
