Never Give Up, even when you feel like losing...
I know you hear this all the time, and I know what you're thinking
"Here's another dude telling me to not give up, ya, ya, ya, whatever" 馃
But I want to tell you a story
I want to share it because it's a perfect example of never giving up
Even when you GENUINLEY Feel like it, and feel like you're gonna lose...
So let's get started
I was sparring with this one guy who was a lower rank then me
At some point I got too greedy
And I lost...
But after class I was determined to beat him
So I asked him if he wanted to spar again
He agreed...
So I go up against him again, gassed out and fatigued
The round started pretty bad, and I tried going too fast, which made things worst since I was already tired
And He gets the dominant position
Whilst I'm Breathing heavily, fatigued as fuck, and I think to myself
I'm gonna lose...
The whole point of this story is here
The fact I was Genuinely thinking I was gonna lose, AGAIN TO THE SAME GUY
But this is also the point I decided my bullshit was enough...
So I decide to go a little slower, try and regain my energy, and work my way up
I get into side control and catch my breath
Then quickly, I wrap my Lapel around his neck, roll, squeeze, and immediately choking him out, then I feel him tap
And I Won...
Again I want you to understand, not just the fact of not giving up
But the fact of not giving up, even when you feel like it's IMPOSABLE TO WIN...
During the sparing session, I genuinely thought I was gonna lose
But then just calmed down and regained energy
And Won
And if you're going through something similar
And you feel like it's IMPOSABLE to win
Even when you feel like you can't breath
Even when you feel like you're stuck completely
It doesn't fucking matter
Just calm down, Regain your energy, and believe in yourself...
Even when you feel like the whole worlds against you
It doesn't matter
The only person who can save you...
Is you.
