THE MUTHAFUCKIN GOAT

“Those that I have seen train themselves and their mind to withstand the pressures of doubt and fear react as expected; they do what is necessary, in a calm and collected way. The health of their vessel has been a concern because it is the way they experience the one life that they have been given. But if you’ve never considered the quality of your health for 45-years of living, then you will be the one who is frantically grabbing at toilet paper. Your reaction makes sense. You have never been in your own head when the body falls apart or the spirit doesn’t answer when you beckon. Training is not a practice of seeing what you are capable of when you are at your best, it is to ensure that you respond when both you and the circumstances are at their worst. People who have endured greatly, through sport, war, and disease understand that hoarding resources, being selfish, and buying shit to make you feel safe are simply untrained reactions—not a sustainable ability to respond… a response-ability.”
