Whats your excuse?

Will power and desire, when properly combined, make an irresistible pair. Without these two key elements success will always be a dream that you want to achieve but wont ever reach. “The Hulk” say’s Be persistent!! The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. Only a few carry on despite all opposition or misfortune. Don’t be one of those few! Act on what you want and make it happen, life is tuff nothing is easy but the moment when you achieve what you are yearning for is absolutely amazing. I believe that we must have a deep sense of purpose and the will to fulfill it. We must resolve old, unfinished business and eliminatetoxic people and attitudes from our lives. We must work hard; have long periods of study and concentrated efforts. We must withdraw andsever ties with people who are not truly aligned with our best long-term interests. You need to do what ever you must do in order to get to live our dreams. Focus exclusively on your ambitions and what isimportant to you and put in the hard work with that success is only inevitable, success at ANYTHING will always come down to Will Power and Desire. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS AND MOVE FORWARD HUSTLE HARD AND GRIND ALL DAY EVERY DAY.

Courage

COURAGE – The original definition of courage is from the Latin word ‘cor,’ meaning ‘heart.’ And the original definition was to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart. My life has been full of opportunities to grow through courage and I’m just getting started. It took courage for me to talk openly about my loss in the UFC but it was something that had to be done, something I needed to overcome in order to grow as a fighter, thing is we all have losses and we learn from them and become better as a human a man woman fighter etc. Yesterday when the news of me signing with the UFC I knew that having the courage to talk about my loss got me to this point, not only that but the hard work and dedication. Courage propels me and holds me accountable. My courage inspires others to find their own, the amount of messages I receive on a daily bases is at times overwhelming I never imagined that I would get an audience by simply blogging about my daily habits, for me the blogging was initially an outlet something I could do to get the thoughts out of my head kinda like a therapy session, interestingly enough I started to get asked about diet and training tips which then saw the blogs evolve from an outlet to a guide in the sense with my past experiences people could learn to pursue their own dreams whether it was to be a professional athlete, a singer anything really. I’ve learnt that you cant be afraid and if you want something bad enough and you work hard for it you will get it I say this because I have done it. Since coming back into the fight scene I have been on my hustle for 3 years, I hustled hard and I stayed on my grind, its not all peachy I had a loss in these 3 years and I know that some people though ohh here we go this is it, but I used what I felt from that loss and turned into fuel to keep me going and to push harder than ever. I told myself “I may win, I may lose but I will never be defeated. You can play it safe & be good or you can take a risk. Guys keep on your hustle All Day Every Day.

Right now things may be tough for you, but make a promise to yourself. Somehow, someway, go to work on it so that you can achieve your goals. I had to start at the beginning, as all of us will, one of the beautiful things about the desire is it allows you the freedom to do whatever you imagine. When you have an idea that you find yourself feeling very passionately about, then that’s one you need to go after. Pursue a career because you love it, not because you think people will love you for pursuing it. Once you’ve picked a vision that you feel passionate about, freeze it and be clear about it. I can’t stress this enough. If you have an idea, don’t wait until the next day to work on it, write it down now. Start with the big picture first, and then bring in the details. My whole life I have never stopped dreaming. We all have dreams, but here is what is different about dreams today: Now is the time to dream big, because even during tough times like these, you can still make your dreams happen. “Do anything you want.” Remember you cannot fail until you quit! Because when you follow your dream with persistence and resilience, that dream will always become a reality. Thank you for all the support and hustle hard All Day Every Day.

Our individual thoughts and beliefs are similar to chapters in a book

Our individual thoughts and beliefs are similar to chapters in a book, when we put them all together, you have the belief system that becomes our story, let it be your story and not someone else’s take control of it. We all have beliefs about ourselves at work, at home, in relationships, and in all others areas of your life. The more you repeat your story, the more you believe it. Therefore, one seemingly insignificant doubt or negative thought can have a major impact on your results it shifts what you think is possible. Nothing in life comes easy, you have to fight to make it in the world, its not going to be easy but remember if it were easy, everyone would do it. You need to push yourself to win. I did it for what I wanted I worked my tail off to get to where I am today and look at me know, sounds cliché I know but like a blacksmith working hot metal, I spent countless hours trying to hammer my life into the shape I desired, and I wont stop now I will keep on going because I want more. I also suggest you surround yourself with people who get you, they’ll be able to see your side, support you, and will also cheer you on! These are the people that check in with you on your progress, find ways to motivate you, and care if you reach your goals. People that aren’t supportive and don’t get you don’t get to have a say in what you do, ever. Remember this Is your Life, your body, your career, your time, and your happiness are at stake. It’s important to be considerate of other people in your life, but it comes down to what you want and what you need to be happy and healthy. The best way you can serve other people is to take care of yourself first. When it comes to choices and change, always do a gut check. What do YOU want to do then hustle hard to do it All Day Every Day.

Most of us don’t think about the importance of nothing

Most of us don’t think about the importance of nothing, when you are making it good. A lot of stuff today is premeditated, and that’s good, however as a fighter, you need to know what you’re doing, make yourself a brand. I’ve always been very business minded & creative and having good team behind me, has helped me brand “The Hulk” and helped me get to the position I’m at today. There has always been a guideline that my team and I follow and everything is kept to a professional standard. I’m hustling hard each and everyday because I’m ambitious. Business minds came a long time before I cared about business. Now I’ve been there and I’ve evolved as an athlete but also into a businessman, now that I’m getting older I understand. Ghost face said, “Yeah fame is good, but it don’t buy you nothing.” It’s like he’s saying, you can have all this fame, but if you don’t handle it right, you can end up being broke with the fame. So my whole thing is to make sure everything I do is done to my level its my name on the line and when I’m done with fighting which is still a long while away, I still have my brand that I’ve built which will allow me to do other things apart from fighting all my life. I’m focused and I will continue to build each and every day. Guys keep grinding and hustling All Day Every Day.

We spend too much time and energy deluded in our unworthiness

We spend too much time and energy deluded in our unworthiness, we have little left to empower who we really are and our reason for being here. Each one of us deals with some hardships in life and make it out better off, this is something that we should be proud of yet we don’t give ourselves the credit we deserve. Real fulfillment comes from real self-acceptance; from daring to be just as you are and expressing all that is truly in you no matter the fallout. If we all dared to be that much more ourselves and gave the credit when needed, It would fuel us to do more fearlessly, feel things important to us more deeply, and would allow us to truly connect to what is so meaningful to our lives, whether it be become a MMA Fighter, an actor, a great dad or friend. It also encourages us to go after our tallest dream, to believe that much in whom we are, to not allow fears and doubts to blanket our mission. I know because I’ve lived it, I’ve been brave and bold with who I really am and what I really want, what I draw forth has changed my life, that and my support system is why I am who and where I am today. The only thing standing between you and the life you love is you. Strive to be as positive as you can be. Give up complaining and blaming and look for the best in every situation. Not only will you attract other positive people into your life, you may be the beacon that inspires others to shift their attitudes, as well. Life is too short to let fear rule. Right now, choose life and faith instead, give credit when it’s due and hustle hard All Day Every Day.
