How much can you know about yourself if you have never been in a fight?

Hey! How are you today? My Name is Ricky Johnson and I am a Realtor here in CO. In my previous life I was a professional fighter however.

A question that has always stood out to me, “How can you truly know who and what type of person you are having never been in a fight?”

How can you possibly know your true character? Your TRUE self?

Fighting taught me many things about myself. One of the biggest takeaways is I AM CAPABLE of overcoming obstacles as they occur. I am capable of performing under pressure, in fact I desire pressure moments (TRUE TESTS).

You see all fighters are nervous before they step into the fight. All the work and preparation for ONE moment in time. A moment that may not go the way you want. You may lose or you may win, very quickly or drawn out in battle. At the end of the fight those nerves will be gone and you will most likely be left with the feelings of “That wasn’t as bad as I thought”.

That is usually the thought we all face after overcoming Large obstacles. If you never place yourself to be tested or try to overcome those obstacles how will you truly know your full potential? More often than not the outcome will always produce a “That wasn’t as bad as I thought”

In life we have many choices, I choose the fight and to test myself always. The obstacle is the way. To KNOW that you have the fortitude and ability to overcome is an invaluable strength in life.

I hope that whatever battle you face, you choose to believe in your abilities and overcome. It is not as bad as you think.

Psalm 144.
