Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of travelling.
Margaret B. Runbeck
Happiness is not something you work for and suddenly achieve it. Happiness is a state of mind, it is something only your can gift yourself. Happiness can’t be bought, it has to be accepted and created by yourself. It is your default state, you just have to realize it.

The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.

This one seems so simple, but is very important and often forgotten. You have to work hard and smart in order to achieve anything.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Out there things can happen, and frequently do, to people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too.
Oh, the places you’ll go!
Dr. Seuss
Life unfolds in a lot of different ways. Just live your life and enjoy every bit of it.
Go with the flow, let things happen and let yourself happen. Let the universe unfold itself.
In short: Enjoy the ride, it’s the only one you have and it’s a damn fun one (If you let it)!

If you are talking about fighting as it is, with no rules, well then, baby, you’d better train every part of your body.
Bruce Lee
They say: Don’t skip leg day.
I say: Don’t skip any day!
Legs, Arms, Abs, Back, Core, the list goes on. Training is more than muscles, it is about mindset, coordination, strength, endurance, it has a lot of facets.
And this is not only about training for fighting, of course. It applies to any kind of training and is a good reminder of diversity in the gym (or wherever you may train)

Achievements make proud, failure makes strong.
This is very important. While being successful is nice, it can also create the illusion of being unbeatable.
That’s why it is important to get a good beating once in a while. Not only does it form character, it is also a very potent teacher. Make good use of your failures and learn to worship them for their qualities.
Sometimes their is no obvious lesson in failure, but at least it will train your endurance. Being able to endure pain is a great quality, there is basically no failure that you can not make any use of!

No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch!
Just get started!
