“Adventure shatters the oppressive, insistent reality as if it were a piece of glass. It is the unforeseen, the unthought-of, the new. Each adventure is a new birth of the world, a unique process. How can it fail to be interesting?”  

José Ortega y Gasset, Meditations on Quixote

Jiu Jitsu is like a philosophy. It helps me learn how to face life... To understand our society, to relate myself to people, to compete in an actual self-defense tournament, to feel confident to walk on the street and to be able to help people, to be strong enough to forgive - Rickson Gracie

In baptism, we are given a new identity, a new purpose, and a new destiny. We are no longer slaves to sin, death, and the devil, but heirs of God's kingdom, with a mission to proclaim the gospel and to serve our neighbor in love." And when the devil comes with his temptations, interferes in our lives, and accuses us of sin and unbelief, we tell him: 'I am baptized, and in that baptism I have been forgiven, justified, and sanctified. Your accusations have no power over me, because I belong to Christ.’

...this story reminds us that we can always go to God with our prayers and our petitions. Even when we feel like outsiders, even when we feel like we don't have a place at the table, even when we feel like our requests are too small or too insignificant to matter, we can still come to God in faith and trust that he will hear us and respond.

All children are creative. All children experiment with imaginations.

As we grow older we are beaten down by systems, rules, and social norms. We are told to color between the lines, stay in our lane, and most importantly, not to rock the boat. By the time we’re adults we are so used to it we don’t even realize what’s at stake.

The War of Art will help you recognize Resistance when it creeps into your work, often in completely predictable but comforting ways, and beat it back.
