Rickson Gracie

Yes, because for me, I was never prepared myself to be a fighter.

I was not seeking for elements to win an opponent.

I was representing jiu-jitsu.

I was not seeking for learning box or learning elements to just be prepared in all the corners to defeat my opponent in an event to make money or so.

I was there to fight for free, to represent the art, to just acknowledge the fact what I've been practicing is a legacy from my family,

which brings a technique which enhances the weaker one in a fight to give possibilities.

So I was focused on representing the family, representing the style.

With this being said,

You pick just a fight, but if you get any achievement, if you wanna buy a car, if you wanna get a girlfriend, if you wanna buy a house, if you wanna get a new job, whatever endeavor you focus on is somehow a challenge, somehow a battle, somehow you have to use martial arts.

You have to use the ability to, because martial arts give you tools.

The tools are connection, base, deflection, strategy, emotional control, the capacity for you to visualization, and other elements.

If you want to buy a car, you have to use strategy, the same way you use to win a fight.

You have to see how much you have to put in the car or everything else after that.

So basically, in order for you to achieve happiness, you have to be strategically correct.

You have to be capable to control emotions.

You have to be focused.

You have to be persevering.

Nothing comes easier for free.

So, and happiness is always changing.

What make you happy today and years from now is not gonna be the same thing.
