“Men Don’t Cry”
It’s a really old-school thing to say “Men don’t cry”.
I’m sure that stems from our grandfathers. The world wasn’t the same as it is today, they had to be strong for the family. Which I understand.
As I get older, I’m getting more passionate 😅
I think that happens when you have kids. I’ll blame it on them. When they were both born, I cried like a baby 👶
But emotions are good. Crying is healthy. It means you care.
I’ve cried during my highest highs and lowest lows. It’s a release of emotion/energy.
You definitely don’t want to self-destruct because it can be like a pressure valve.
I’m not saying to cry like a lil B, but when it’s time, it’s time.
Being In The Present
Legendary Master Oogway has a famous quote:
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift.”
I say it all the time. Be present. Be present. Be present.
It’s always now. That’s where lives change. That’s where magic happens.
The past is unchangeable. So what you do today matters the most.
As I live my life day-to-day, I’m conscious of it. Conscious of all my thought processes, making sure it’s pushing me in the right direction.
Also, making sure I’m operating with intent.
Let go of the past. Don’t worry about the future. Focus on the now.
Traditions
Here are a couple fun traditions that my family and I do.
About 30 minutes before each fight, my son Julian FaceTimes me and tells me he loves me and good luck ❤️
Each year we celebrate Mardi Gras with Anastasia’s Creole family out in Mountain View. We eat gumbo, dance, and have fun all night long! It’s like a family reunion, so it’s a great time to party with family 🎭🎉
