You must love yourself first before you are able to love others (her). Your wife is a teacher holding up a mirror for you.

Eat healthy, work out, watch some stand up, smoke some weed, exhaust yourself physically then throw out a prayer and welcome the change. You got this!

Lex screwed up big time on this one! He forgot to properly credit Dana as a philosopher.

Dana’s talk about Vision Quest really struck a cord. That movie had similar ramifications for me too

To add to the Forrest Griffin and Stephen Bonner fight. I'm not a Martial Artist at all, but the passion, commitment, and pure love or "no quit" mentality these guys have literally inspires me and makes me love this sport. I'm committed in life and have deep passion for many things, yet these guys fighting gives me deep inspiration and understanding for why these guys do this. 3 round fights weed out the weak. 5 round fights determine who the real champions are. It's so clear that these guys can push through unimaginable pain and still suffer and supercede to win. That was all I needed ro see to be a fan.

I've always referenced to friends or non fans of the sport the Poirier v. Hooker fight for seeing the determination to finish what you start and never quit on yourself.. unbelievable what the human mind can do.

If they can do this, you can lose 10 pounds, or fight through your issue at work, or be better than you were yesterday. It's literally unbelievable human capability. The physical suffering these men can endure and still push through, whatever your mental is, is kindergarten play.
