#31: Staring Down Success [Podcast]

Posted on May 18, 2015November 30, 2020 by Ando Mierzwa

Welcome to Episode #31 of the Fight for a Happy Life podcast, “Staring Down Success.”

Choosing a goal is one thing. Accomplishing a goal is another.

Life is full of distractions, complications, and obstacles. Some of them are out there… and some are inside of you!

How many times have you flinched in the face of success? How many times have you blinked when you need to stand strong? How many times have you turned away at the very moment you needed to keep marching forward?

You’re not alone!

In this episode, we explore what it takes to hold our ground, keep moving forward, and stay committed to staring down success… in the martial arts and life!

    I love this podcast #31.
    It’s sounds great to be able to fight and win!
    But I also consider the price of victory!
    When I was 16, I was learning Judo, only Judo as martial art.
    I got assaulted by a person who jumped on me and pulled away a whole fist of my hair. I pushed that person away but that person jumped on me again. I gave a kick with my knee in the stomach and joined my two wrists to give a strong hit on the back head. End of the story, and … end of my Judo classes. My father cancelled my Judo classes because he told me that I couldn’t defend myself, never, in any way. What I did, wasn’t Judo, it was some kind of self-defense I heard guys talking about at school. If I knew I would have chosen to be bald but black belt in Judo!

    I’m so impatient to go back and train on a tatami! Have first to do efforts to be able to go there! Willing to pay the price!
