      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. It's a lot of work but it's worth it. Time passes anyway. In five years you will have wished that you started today.

    @AbsoluteADCC Před 3 lety +310

    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 Echo Charles said about not focusing directly on the belt touched a soft spot in my heart for something challenging in my life I’m working up to. We glance at the tall mountain and think it’s going take forever to get up it. But if we put out head down and focus on each step we’re usually surprised when we reach the top and say that wasn’t as hard as I thought and I can’t believe I was all the way down there.

    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 🙏💪.

    When I started listening to Jocko's podcast I think Echo was just a blue belt. Man, that's so awesome. He looks so emotional and rightfully so. That's such an amazing accomplishment to proud of. That man has grinded for many years. Well deserved. Congrats Echo. 🤙🏾

    Congrats, it's an emotional thing when you receive your black belt from your professor. All those hard years of training come to fruition.
    But the learning never stops the journey continues, and your game starts again, and you start to evolve.
