Have You Ever Been Told Something, You Know Will Stay With You Forever
I'm not talking about sad things...... Like when someone tells you someone you care about has passed away. I'm talking about the things that reach inside you, inspire you to do great things.
The first came from my dad when I first started to train. He told me," You may not want to become a fighter, but you will know how to fight. The world can be a dangerous place,one of my jobs is to make sure your ready for it when the time comes. When you enter the world on your own you will be a hunter.......you will be a lion.......you will never be the prey." It took me a while to understand it, but I got it later. Its his job to make sure I beleave in my skill enough,never to be a victim.
The second was the first time I met Eddie . I was at a seminar full of adults. He stopped right in the middle of it and said, "Everyone take a good look at this kid !!!!! 8 years from now your looking at one bad mother f@cker." I have worked everyday since than to make sure that happens.
Last night was the most recent. When I turned 13 a couple days ago my coach's said they are taking me to the next level with my training. I think they worried a little that I would think they were being to hard on me..... which I never would. But my coach pulled me aside and he's a man of few words. He said " When you were a child, you trained like a man....... now that your a man, we are going to train you like a champion."
Do you guys have anything that has stuck with you, that still makes the hair stand up on my arms when you think about it.
