I started jiu-jitsu at 46 to get comfortable with failure. What I didn't expect was how much it would change everything else — how I recover, how I train, how I sit with my own thoughts.

This essay is about choosing goals that are bigger than you, and what happens when you stop getting away with just enough.

Outgrow Yourself on Purpose On the Power of Choosing Goals That Are Bigger Than You

You can be pulled in a hundred directions in your day, but if you start with the right mindset, you’re setting yourself up for success—on the mat and off.

Think about the people who move through life with a sense of presence and clarity.

They don’t rush to fix or perfect every moment, but they do focus on what anchors and grounds them.

Specifically, these 3 A’s:

1. **Awareness**. They pay deep attention to their body and mind.

2. **Anchor**. They always return to what grounds them, no matter the chaos.

3. **Acceptance**. They allow what arises—thoughts, feelings, sensations—without forcing or resisting.

Simple, steady, essential.

Listening Within: Exploring the Power of Inquiry Practice How Deepening Inner Attention Can Reveal What Matters Most

In this session, we’ll explore the space between ourselves and our experiences—from bodily sensations and breath, to thoughts and emotions—discovering how we can relate to them with curiosity and compassion rather than identification or reactivity. I’ll guide you step by step as we practice creating awareness and a little more distance from the stories and labels we attach to what arises within us.
