One of the most powerful passages in Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations":

Best scene in Lone Wolf McQuade where Chuck Norris drunk drives his super truck out of the ground

I was always angry, and I had a huge hole in my heart. Nothing made me happy. Then I got married to a God-fearing woman, and at home she would read the Bible every morning. After a while she said, "do you want me to read aloud to you?" So I sat down, and she started reading the Bible aloud to me, every morning. Eventually I said, "Well, let me read it," and so I started to read it aloud to her. And then it was like the Lord said to me "Chuck, it's time to come home. It's been long enough." And now my heart is filled up again.' ☩ Chuck Norris 1940-2026

“I don’t know why I’ve been sat on the shelf for 7 months MVP was saying the same shit. Why are we they not giving these mfs fights? #UFCLondon

You gotta be some kind of wonderful to ask for this from people looking for fights.

Some of my favorite people in Jiu-Jitsu are the people who used to work normal jobs and have normal careers but gave it all up to chase their dream. They have a perspective that is grounded by a taste for a boring reality they used to live. A lot of pro competitors lack gratitude for just how unique their position is. They’re so results-driven that they forget that they’re living a cool experience. But hearing a guy who’s pushing 40 say “this made me love life again” puts things into perspective for me. That gratitude is contagious if you let it be.
