The Fighter’s Heart: How to Build Courage?

You can’t teach heart, but you can LEARN heart.

‘Heart’ - or Courage (“cor” is the latin word for heart), is not the absence of fear, but showing up in spite of it.

You learn it - by not making excuses and running away when hardships and pain show up at your door.

You learn it - by being accountable and standing your ground when faced with a difficult situation.

You learn it - by admitting your vulnerability, and eating humble pie.

Sure, it is embarrassing to fail. Your ego gets a little crushed, some people may laugh at you.

But you can live through these things.

Every struggle you’ve gone through only strengthens and expands your 'heart-muscles'.

Most times, what you fear doing most is what you need to do.

Pain can give you clarity.

Even if the outcome turns out bad, you can walk away with a deeper understanding and insight about yourself.

You only come out worse if you make excuses and give up. Your conscience will remind you of it every time you look into the mirror.

Going through hardship is the best way to learn what your heart is made of.

And going through it without making excuses and quitting, is how you build courage and strength of character.

Don’t fear failure. Fear never knowing what your heart is capable of.

P.s. Have you ever wondered what allows legends to strike the way they do?

I have thought about this closely for the last 2 years and I am very eager to share my thoughts on this soon.

It is the biggest project I have ever done and I have put a tremendous amount of work into it.

Stay tuned for what makes "LEGENDARY STRIKING"

Heart is what makes you go to the gym to train everyday.

I wish Ramon Dekkers was here too. Thanks for this stories, Lawrence Kenshin. 🇵🇭

the coach at 6 mins. one of the most encouraging things I've heard. simple language. a smile on his face. fire in his eyes. and his words motivating you to get up and do better what you did bad yesterday. that is courage. that is heart.

07:00 you give power out, power come back...the nature of the universe in an equation for pretty much everything

[nomadnorbert]

I love this sport. I thank God for putting this on my path.

I remember when I joined the USMC, One of my first field ops I did, it got -5 degrees outside, and I had to stay on watch for 3 hours. Even with the warming layers it didn’t feel like it did anything. My dream is to train in Thailand after my time here.

New science into epigenetics is showing that the decisions you make change your DNA. Positive thinking is more powerful then we've been lead to believe!
