šŸŽ® Mindset Moment – A Peek at a Talk I’m Writing šŸ„‹
Quick share with the JJFA crew.
I’m currently writing a TED-style talk that I hope to present on a big stage one day, and I wanted to give you guys a glimpse into how I think when I build these ideas—because this one feels way too relatable to Jiu-Jitsu.
I’m sure we’ve all played the original Mario on NES.
You grind through a level.
You finally beat Bowser.
You’re fired up…
Then one of your so-called friends—the Toads—hits you with:
ā€œThank you Mario! But Princess Peach is in another castle.ā€
Bro… WHAT?! šŸ˜¤šŸ˜‚
Same Bowser.
Same fight.
Same trash talk.
Back to square one.
And that’s when it clicked for me—that’s life.
Bowser isn’t just an enemy you defeat once.
Bowser is the same problem that keeps showing up:
• the same bad habits
• the same doubts
• the same ego
• the same fear
• the same comfort zone
And those Toads?
That’s the noise.
The opinions.
The internal voice saying, ā€œYou should be further by now.ā€
But here’s the truth…
Every level you beat, you’re still better than you were before—even if it feels like you’re fighting the same boss again.
That’s Jiu-Jitsu.
That’s growth.
That’s the grind.
You don’t quit.
You load back in.
You fight smarter.
And you keep going.
Appreciate you guys letting me share a piece of what I’m working on.
See you on the mats.
