Question To Ask Yourself Everyday

Ever find yourself pondering the path of your martial arts journey or, more broadly, your life journey? 

It’s a common reflection, and the key is not just knowing what you want, but in understanding how to get there. 

The crucial question isn’t about the “how” every day.

To be your best self now, and to start moving towards the next version of who you are and the life you want, there’s a single powerful question you need to ask yourself: 

What must I say No to, so I can say Yes to what matters?

I wrestle with this every single day. Defaulting to Yes often leaves me overcommitted and overwhelmed.

There’s a real cost to not prioritizing the essentials- not doing the work I’m most called to do, not achieving the impact I aspire to.  

Have you paid this price too? 

So here’s the challenge to the question, in three parts:

  1. What tasks must you say no to? 
  2. Who must you say not to?
  3. What parts of you will you say no to?

It’s a trilogy of questions, each increasing in difficulty.

And it isn’t easy. Real change is never easy.

How Champions Embrace Stumbles & Smash Goals

Want to achieve something extraordinary in your martial arts and fitness journey? Buckle up, because the road to excellence is paved with setbacks.

Forget instant wins – embracing frustration and learning from defeats is what separates champions from the rest.

Here are some tips:

  • Show up. Do the work. Repeat. Blue-collar hustle meets unwavering will. No distractions, just relentless pursuit.
  • Ditch the strict timeline. Greatness takes time, not deadlines. Commit to the journey, not a finish line.
  • Celebrate wins, learn from losses. If you’re not stumbling, you’re not pushing hard enough. Embrace the grind, it’s where growth happens.
  • One big decision, not a million tiny ones. Choose your ultimate goal, then stay laser-focused. Less decision fatigue, more unwavering progress.

This isn’t easy, but the reward? Crushing your goals and becoming the best version of yourself.
