Your Best.

The time to care is not the big moments or the big nights. Let me explain. Imagine you're getting divorced, or you're on the biggest stage you've ever been on, or you're locked inside a cage and are about to fight a warrior, or any situation similar. If you're the person who cares more about the divorce and being separated, or about the audience's perception, or losing the fight, you've already lost. That's simply not the time to care and be afraid, that's the time to perform, forgetting all your fears and showing up to get things done. Your emotional investment on the outcome is only going to hurt you, however it goes. The time to care is when you're in the living room having an argument that's blowing the roof off of your house, the time to care is when you're practicing your art at home, the time to care is when you're training. You need to ensure you give your best during those tough times. You need to make sure that you try your best to save your marriage, you need to make sure that you put in all the effort that you have in your heart when you're in the practice room, you need to make sure that you give your best in every training session. On the big moments, you take the result with a pinch of salt, good or bad, and stay content with it. You accept the result and move on with your life. The majority of your life is going to be behind the scenes, it only makes sense to pay attention and be at your best when you're not under the spotlights. It makes sense to be present during those moments and savour it and enjoy it, because that's what you've been preparing for. I get it, divorces aren't ever enjoyable, but it still serves right to not be so emotionally invested in it. Good or bad, stay level headed and give things your best. Ponder.

Love, peace.
