Here is a somewhat embarrassing story for me…
But also kind of cool
A few years ago a women UFC fighters dm’d me on instagram
She wasn’t really well known yet but was gaining popularity and set to fight for the belt soon
She asked me to explain a concept on identity and being a champion
I responded and explained how part of the identity of a Champion is seeing it as natural…
Not it being a goal that OH WOW I ACHIEVED THIS…OR I HOPE WILL…
Which creates an energy of importance which blocks that very thing from coming…
I also explained how this connects to God and allowing God to flow through… getting into a flow state… and a few other things…
The thing was…
This person was fighting one of the best women UFC fighters ever
And even though I believed in the teachings… if I’m being honest…
I thought it was a stretch for this person to win against the GOAT who literally had never lost
Come the day of the fight I had a bunch of friends over…
Including my dad who was in town at the time
I shared with them all that she Dm’d me and told them about the advice that I gave a few weeks ago…
Everyone thought it was cool but that there was practically ZERO chance this underdog would win…
The fight starts…
The underdog looked focused!
And as the fight went on… the favorite to win who everyone thought would easily win…
Stated to look vulnerable
The underdog kept chipping away and landing strikes
The crowd was SHOCKED
WE were SHOCKED
The underdog stayed focused…
And guess what?!
She ended up winning by submission in the second round!!
One the biggest upsets in UFC history ever
The whole time this happened I and my friends were going NUTS
My dad had had a few drinks and he kept saying to me… YOU DID THAT!
Which was super embarrassing in front of my friends
And also not true… (MAYBE the idea helped but I can’t take credit for that lol)
SHE did that.
She put in years of hard work.
SHE shifted her energy and identity.
SHE trusted the divine and got into a flow state.
However it was a cool moment with my dad who never completely understood what I did or taught
I could tell that he was trying to express that he was proud of me and it was a moment of him seeing that my teachings and messages reach people
Lesson for the day is to believe in yourself and your connection to the divine
“See it as natural” to achieve your goals…
To be in a deep relationship…
To be abundant…
Etc
And to allow the divine to flow through you…
This is when magic happens
Talk to you soon
Much love,

P.s I’m considering starting back up my podcast and focusing on that more! Back in the day I would do weekly episodes more long form. Want me to bring on people to have conversations with? Lmk :)
