Thoughts about Jiu-Jitsu and the Universe

I was given a letter yesterday by Blake Fluhart, one of the members of West Side, a friend and serious warrior. In this letter, he wrote, what to me feels like a sermon, something insightful and strong, and uplifting. It made me feel better, so I asked him if I could share it, and of course he said yes. Here it is:

Sometimes there is trouble and tragedy everywhere we look. Loss and death may cloud our view. At the darkest of times it is sometimes hard to find light. When despair and doubt cast their shadows, we can remember ahead; seeing ourselves in the future, looking back at these times of trial. We may see the celebration that comes of victory that is earned over great odds and fear. Doing this, we let adversity not define us. We remember that when found, the light shines all the brighter for the darkness. We let our actions define the future by recognizing these challenging times for what they are: What makes our story great.

One love.
