“To know our values is to have a foundation on which to build a great life. Our environment and education will play a large part in influencing our formulation of this world view, but is ultimately ourselves that have the final say. We must decide what we value, and then live accordingly. After all, in the eyes of the world we could achieve great success, but if our actions do not coincide with what we ourselves truly deem worthy, we will find no peace.” ValuesIndividualityBlissSelf Reliance Book:My Mastery: Continued Education Through Jiu Jitsu Source: My Mastery: Continued Education Through Jiu Jitsu
“In the history of history, there has never been someone with your particular genetic make-up or life experiences. This being the case, we have no reference points with which to compare ourselves, and therefore it is futile to attempt to measure yourself relative to others.” ValuesAwarenessIndividualityBlissSelf Reliance Book:My Mastery: Continued Education Through Jiu Jitsu Source: My Mastery: Continued Education Through Jiu Jitsu
