"All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients"

"They'll tell you failure is not an option. That is ridiculous. Failure is always an option. Failure is the most readily available option at all times, but it's a choice. You can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed. And if we can plant seeds and let him know, ‘Move your feet, keep your hands up, stay off the bottom.' That is the road to victory, or self-doubt and negative talk, and that is the road to failure. But failure is always there, and it's okay to recognize that. If I can leave you with anything today, in my long journey through this is, one, it's okay. Two, it's normal. As athletes and especially as men, we hate to admit weakness to ourselves, and when you're dealing with something and you got some kind of a hiccup, yeah, first thing is acknowledge it."

Check out this shirt I got from @deathsetapparel! I sort of randomly stumbled across this brand a few weeks ago and liked it right away. It's kind of what I would imagine old hardcore or punk rock kids would design if they got into jiu jitsu. It's right up my alley to say the least. Good job guys, I'll be ordering more as you come out with stuff. (at Clairemont, San Diego)

Happy 4th birthday to this little one. I've been in Charlie and Vaughn's lives for almost 3 years and it has been a crazy overwhelming experience. They always say find your "why". Well happy birthday to a 1/3 of my why. (at Sleeping Beauty Castle)

So being an instructor is something I really do love. I am constantly humbled and honored to be a teacher. Today was the first time I took students to a tournament to compete. The three from spring valley did awesome today and I couldn't be any happier with their performance. I don't care about them winning or losing I just loved the fact the way they went out there and did it. @boogeyman_tfs and @pbarch thank you for being the guys to guide me through this. I couldn't teach anyone anything if you two didn't have my back. #10thplanetfreaks #10psv #onetrainingcenter #10thplanetspringvalley (at ROCK Fitness)
