Tough

I’m not tough, and most likely you aren’t either. Getting punched in the face doesn’t make you tough, grappling doesn’t make you tough, the truth is we are all weak in some way. You may not be Jiu Jitsu tough, most people aren’t. Being tough isn’t about espousing all the things you’ve done, it’s in your actions and behavior. It’s easy to lose control, it’s difficult to stay levelheaded. Don’t believe in performative toughness, the toughest most accomplished people I know are also some of the least affected. You only need to be tough in the moments that call for it, otherwise it might just be insecurity.
