Musings, ponderings and various observations on the intersection of BJJ/Martial arts training and the living of life. I have no inclination toward either political correctness or correct spelling. This blog, such as it is, remains fundamentally an unfiltered gush of thought ... both raw and unpolished.

Our lives are ‘high wire’ acts …
Imagine that you’re about to climb up that ladder to try your new trick on the trapeze … exhilarated? Yep … but also maybe a little trepidation. Thoughts of what might go wrong might begin to creep into our mind … but we’ve already decided, committed. What’s the first thing we do … even before our foot hits the bottom rung on the ladder? If we have even the slightest spark of intelligence, we check to see if the safety net is securely in place. Safety nets allow us to better push ourselves. If we’re all in agreement with this; then a simple question arises …. what other safety nets might we have in place that make decision-making easier in other aspects of our lives?
