I just re-read Inner BJJ's excellent blog post on being too goal focused, makes you sloppy in Jiu Jitsu. It is so revealing about my own motivations both in life and BJJ. Too often I will take the shortcut or fastest way possible to achieve my task. After reading it I can think of several instances in my jiu jitsu technique where I am too focused on the outcome and not on the form. Until now, I hadn't realized that by making sure your form is correct, the desired outcome will be a byproduct...
I LOVE these epiphany-type moments!!

I love Brazilian jiu jitsu and I want to train as much as I can. The only problem with that is....well... I also love my home life, and it keeps me pretty busy. I write this blog as I struggle to balance both... I have my health, an awesome woman, a healthy baby girl and another on the way and I get to train BJJ 3 times a week... I'll try not to screw this up...
