In the life teaching art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), there is another valuable lesson I have learned through many years, and numerous battles. I am now applying this lesson to not only my life, but my businesses as well. It is a lesson that could help us all in life and is not something you can learn in school, or from reading a book. It is a wisdom only gained through experience.
The lesson is how to deal with the walls you will encounter throughout your journey toward any goal. What am I talking about? Well, in every journey there is progression. A wall is a stage that you hit in your progression where there is seemingly no progress.
The reason yin vs yang was developed was to give us an outlet to discuss the secret battle going on inside the human mind on a daily basis. Our mind is our most powerful asset. But with every gift comes a curse, and the mind can be a powerful enemy as well. Yin vs yang was developed to balance people’s lives by shedding light on how to deal with this eternal battle within us.
Each day we face a myriad of choices. And each day those choices we make effect our future. Every single one of them. Sometimes, including me, we make the easy choice. Sometimes we push ourself and make the tough choice. Yet, we always debate internally about which choice would have been better. That is the battle within, the Yin vs Yang. It’s the struggle for the mind to get the body to do what it needs to do. Sometimes, our body does not want to listen. Only our mind can make it listen.
