“Jiu Jitsu is hard."
Devin and I started Jiu Jitsu this week. Well, she started. I’m coming back after about a two and a half year hiatus.
She told Coach Jason that some of the things they were learning were hard. And he responded, “Jiu Jitsu is hard.”
Damn straight!
It’s hard. It sucks sometimes.
And that’s good.
Like David Goggins says, “Do something that sucks every day.” And once that gets too easy, do something else that makes you uncomfortable. It strengthens your mind.
When you know that you can do one thing that is hard, there is no reason you can’t do the next hard thing.
Jiu Jitsu IS hard. Being uncomfortable DOES suck. But there are some major benefits.
