An old friend of mine used to enjoy going into the ring and getting his ass kicked. When I asked why, he said”because it will motivate me to go train hard, and get in better shape”. Sometimes when your down, you fight your way back to the top, and sometimes you might find yourself higher on top then you where before,:)
I can relate to your friend. In the Corps they say "Pain is weakness leaving the body." (or at least they used to, idk I'm getting old lol)
Words of wisdom indeed. I couldn't agree more!
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and support my friend!
