This is something that most modern men lack, simply because it takes time to develop both qualities. Some quit along the way; others never even bother developing either. They would rather just boost their testosterone levels, which isn’t a real challenge, and pretend to be real men.

But we all know how the saying goes. Whoever takes shortcuts just cuts himself short.

And this brings me to a quote from Musashi Miyamoto from The Book Of Five Rings. A book that I’ve read multiple times and highly recommend.

“Crossing at a ford means, for example, crossing the sea at a strait, or crossing over a hundred miles of broad sea at a crossing place. I believe this “crossing at a ford” occurs often in a man’s lifetime. It means setting sail even though your friends stay in harbour, knowing the route, knowing the soundness of your ship and the favour of the day. When all the conditions are met, and there is perhaps a favourable wind, or a tailwind, then set sail. If the wind changes within a few miles of your destination, you must row across the remaining distance without sail.” – Musashi Miyamoto

There is a saying that goes like this: “The teacher comes when the student is ready”. Today, I want to talk about that.

Let’s take a trip back in time first. At the end of March, I fought on the famous prison fight show in Thailand. I fought for 3 rounds and “lost”. I go more into this in this post. Read More

For most people, both topics are unknown; they only have an idea of what most fighters do post-fight. And most of the time, it’s an idea that doesn’t match reality.

I covered this a bit in my post “On the Reality of Wanting to Fight,” but I will go deeper into it in this post. Read More

In the past couple of months, I’ve seen a huge push by some big accounts to step into the ring.

On paper, this sounds all cool and easy, of course, but these guys have multiple issues.

One of them is obviously that none of them made the walk. Read More

This is a rather unconventional post since not a lot of foreigners go inside a Thai prison. When I went to Thailand the first time the embassy told me: “We can help you with a lot in Thailand but make sure you’re not getting yourself into prison. We won’t be able to get you out”.

So after being here for 4 years, I got to prison but luckily for me, I was also able to get out. Read More

Here to end the idea of addiction once and for all. I remember the following monologue as if it were yesterday. This monologue was just another example of people being able to connect the dots but somehow still being able to end up with the wrong picture.

It went as follows. “My family member is very unhappy in her job. She hates it that much that she started drinking. She is basically drinking to get rid of her unhappiness. She’s been doing it for a long time now. She is addicted.” Read More

Yesterday I talked about why praying won’t help with your porn issues. I suggest you check it out here. Today I want to talk about another technique that gets pushed around a lot on mainstream media. Meditation. Read More

Recently, I’ve some seen the twitter sphere going at it again. These people keep sharing advice that sounds cool but that has never been tested. They only care about engagement, not what actually helps people.

So let’s take a look at the latest trend where people are urged to pray when they are abusing porn. It should be quite obvious to any person with 2 working brain cells that will never work. Sadly enough, most people have the critical thinking abilities of a peanut. Read More
