As I approach my next fight, I notice my emotions turning from disciplined action to aggression. I promised myself I would never get mad in a competition again. It isn't healthy and it's not the sport. Being able to compete at a high level takes level thinking. No doubt in my mind I have the ability to win, but some of you wanted to know, what goes through your mind before you fight? Is it fear, anger, anticipation....? What goes through my mind the most is the nay Sayers who said I would be too old to start and society that tried to put me in a box. Those are two motivating factors i haven't been able to shake. The main reason is, proving that there is a thing called faith. Because without faith, you might as well pack it in. I mean it folks. If you can't overcome the nay Sayers and your personal doubt, why take another breath. (Hebrews 11:1-40) God is either real or he lies. If you are a believer than believe that ALL things are possible if you are in Gods will.
