OSS BUILT

Life isn't about finding yourself.

Life is about creating yourself.

Quit worrying about trying to figure out "who you are."

Instead focus on who you want to be.

Take control of the situation. Make your opponent uncomfortable. Capitalize.

🥊: Rickson Gracie

“In the thirty minutes that it took for the fire to start and then burn itself out, I saw my entire life play out in front of me. By the time it went out, I had prayed, rid myself of any doubts or regrets, and accepted the cycle of life and death.

Afterward, I felt ready to kill or be killed, and knew that I could flow from a clinch to a throw to a choke to whatever the situation required, with total confidence.

I knew that I could overcome any obstacle and capitalize on the first opportunity.”

- Breathe, Rickson Gracie

Only way to stay sane is with competition and constant challenge.

You can either choose to compete, or give up.

Those are your only options.

Try, and fail. Then dominate.

Rejection and failure are fuel.

🥊: Tai Tuivasa

Visualization is a powerful tool for turning your dreams into reality.

Decide upon your goal and the small steps it will take to get there.

Visualize yourself completing those small steps. And visualize yourself achieving your end goals.

Then take action.

Stay on the path. Never quit.

🥊: Georges St-Pierre

Life and water.

Sometimes you can see through water, and other times it clouds and you can’t see anything.

Sometimes water can drill through the hardest surfaces, while other times it can just go around them.

It can erode rock over thousands of years, or it can carry tiny pebbles away.

A person can’t be good from the beginning.

You have to go through the stages of learning, the tests, and learn from them.

You need to grow.

- The Way of The Fight, Georges St-Pierre

Most people are like a lion in a cage.

Safe, tame, predictable, waiting for something to happen.

Stay in the cage long enough, you forget your basic instincts.

Your natural energy, drive, intuition, and action gets reduced to a time-out in the corner.

You have to learn to put aside everything you’ve been taught, all the restrictions, limitations, and doubt.

Stop overthinking. Take action.

🥊: Conor McGregor

Do not get comfortable. Show up and do the work, every day.

🥊: Sean Strickland

Fear is the tool of a man-made devil.

Self-confident faith in yourself is the man-made weapon which defeats this devil. It enables you to believe that failure and defeat are nothing but temporary experiences.

2024: Train hard. Work hard. Build good habits. Plan your day, every day. Execute.

OSS

🥊: Alexander Volkanovski

Fear, once you get used to it, can be mastered.

It can take some time and you can go through some pretty bad moments.

But at some point fear is going to get tired or overconfident, and you can take it down.
