      Men are equally, if not more emotional than women but society has taught them to suppress their emotions. Most aggression from men doesn't just come from being a man and thus having more testosterone but also from constantly suppressing their emotions which then bottle up and can cause occasional outbursts of anger.

I used to have tantrums all the time until I stopped eating refined carbohydrates, started to exercise and meditate, get involved with a profession I am passionate about as well as a lot of self-reflection and therapy to solve the reasons for my suppressed anger.

    Again, Jiu Jitsu provides another great lesson as Mr. Charles mentioned. "Don't focus on the belt."
    If you focus on the belt, then your happiness and satisfaction depends on the belt promotion. Hence, the journey becomes a miserable struggle and as he said "your jiu jitsu becomes worse." Instead, focus on becoming a better grappler and the belt will come as a result of that.
    The same in life. Goals are not bad, but often times we set a lot of goals and our happiness, satisfaction and sense of achievement are dependent on achieving those goals. Instead, we can focus on becoming better in the aspects that matter to us, and those goals will be achieved as a result of us simply getting better. This is the only way to truly enjoy the journey and be present in the moment.

    What a feeling this must be for him. Like a great physique .. or being a master of an instrument … it can’t be bought . Earning shit that you’ve worked your ass off for day after day for YEARS is such an accomplishment. All the missed occasions , all the frustration , literal blood sweat and tears ... all of the consistent showing up when it’s the last thing you want to do .. and then you have your day .. it’s truly so beautiful, and far to few will ever know this life altering feeling. With that said .. Congrats man ! Well deserved 🙏💪.
