You Don't Have to Feel Ready
Years ago, I was competing in a national martial arts championship.
I was performing a form I had practiced for months when, halfway through, my mind went completely blank.
Nothing.
I had no idea what came next.
And then something strange happened.
My body kept going.
The Day Reality Destroyed the Story I Told About Myself
I was a national champion.
Karate. Kung Fu. Two black belts.
I had been competing in martial arts since I was nine years old.
So when I walked into a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in California for the first time, I wasn't exactly lacking confidence.
I knew who I was.
