It's harder to quit than to fight. A quote by Teddy Atlas.
ADVENTURE WITH ME
Approche production.
It is harder to quit than it is the fate because when you quit and you think that's your great escape, you think that's the parachute. No, that's not, that's the terminal sentence. That's the chain that got to put around your body where you're confined to a prison, a prison, a real prison. You know what the prison's name is. Regret that doesn't go away until you finally face what you have to face, because there is one key to that prison. It's a beautiful key. The key is called redemption. There's always a chance for redemption.
I tim that as I here looking back to the Building a Humans Project podcast. That's actually Teddy Atlas there. If anyone that knows boxing will know that he's one of the most famed boxing trainers in the world, from a young Mike Tyson right through into a Mani Pachia and so on. But I've always believed that boxing has a lot of synergies with the rest of life. It's like a microcosm of life. You know, things that happen inside of the ring and outside of the ring are not dissimilar. If you're someone that struggles with controlling your energy or angers easily or your emotions and so on. If you're impatient outside of the ring, you're also going to be like that inside the ring, and that's going to become a problem for you. So I love listening to life lessons that come from a boxing ring, and I like this idea that you can quit, and in theory it's the easiest thing to do, but it has some pretty damning long term effects on you, and one of those being the fact that you have to live with that regret for a long period of time. But I love also when we use that boxing analogy that even if you lose, redemption is something that you can most certainly claim through a boxing ring. Redemption is most certainly something you can claim in the rest of life. It doesn't matter if you've failed, It doesn't even matter if you quit in the past. You have the capacity to get up and have another crack at something and redeem yourself. You're not tied to that past file. You're not tied to having quit that one other time that you did it. So I just loved that idea. Maybe there's something that you've tried to do and you failed at. Maybe there's something that you tried to do and you quit, and deep down inside it looked like a failure. But you know that you quit, even if nobody else knows you know. So what I want to tell you, based off what Teddy Atlas just said, you can redeem yourself. You can get up and take on that challenge again, and you can have a different outcome this time when you take on that challenge. So think about that.
