Wherever you are ...

Wherever you ARE is exactly where you need to be. 

I learned this on the mat - where I have learned much of the tenets and concepts on which I have based my life. 

There was a time when I only enjoyed being in dominant positions when I ‘rolled’. If I had mount position, knee ride, side control, north south, etc - I was happy - when I was the one being controlled in those positions, I was unhappy. This was definitely an unhealthy outlook. The truth is this: very situation provides us with a learning opportunity. We become adept at solving problems by being presented with them. This is true both on and off the mat. Wherever you are is exactly where you need to be. JBW
