My goal is one day that somebody will come to them and say, "You're dad was an amazing person." Not an amazing fighter but just a genuine person, that's what I want, that's what I strive for. —Johny Hendricks

 

 

My goal is one day that somebody will come to them (daughters) and say, "You're dad was an amazing person." Not an amazing fighter but just a genuine person, that's what I want, that's what I strive for.

You're setting goals and you don't hit them, that doesn't mean that you're a failure...Set a smaller goal and try and hit that goal. Goals are an amazing thing in life and hope everyone can achieve everything they want to. —Johny Hendricks

Chris Weidman on Goals

 Chris Weidman suggests that you need to get into a state in your mind where you are actually living your goal so it makes it easier to reach. If you're thinking of getting a mansion, you get into a state of visualizing being in that place and making it more realistic in your head, as opposed to thinking of it as an abstract concept that you are aspiring to and not in alignment with. Some proponents of the "Law of Attraction" or "The Secret" also suggest this sort of visualization to get yourself more comfortable with what you are desiring in your life.

"Don't think OF your goals; think FROM them"
-Chris Weidman

Kenny Florian on Passion (Near Death Experience)

Kenny Florian is a very passionate person and part of that stemmed from a near death experience last decade:

“I call it getting pushed over the edge literally. It was an experience where I was in Rio de Janeiro and I was coming down from the famous mountain Pedra da Gavea, where a lot of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes go to train and climb and also just go to there to enjoy because it’s one of the highest point in Rio de Janeiro and you can see the whole city from there and it’s just breathtaking. But on the way down, we were coming down from the waterfall and I slipped and ended up going head first off a mountain and literally remember being sad and specifically being sad thinking in my head, ‘Well, I guess this is how I’m going to die,’ I remember saying exactly those words, ‘Well, I guess this is how I’m going to die,’ exactly like that. And I just remember that it was like I almost lost something, I lost a game or something, I remember thinking, man, I can’t believe this is how it’s going to go down, I can’t believe that all these things that I wanted to do, all these things that I could have done I never had the chance to do it. And here I am on a different part of the world and I’m going to die, without saying goodbye to people, without accomplishing goals and with all these regrets. Finally I landed and got the wind knocked out of me, my back cracked and all that stuff and my friends thought I was dead. I landed probably about 15 or 20 feet, which is a decent drop landing on a rock. And as I kind of got my wits back and got off the rock, I kind of started laughing and looked around me and I realized that that rounded rock is the only thing that saved me, if I didn’t land on that rock I would have fallen, there’s maybe about a foot or two off of that rock and I would have fallen hundreds of feet definitely to me death. So I was lucky just the way that I landed and the way the rock was shaped, it was perfect. So it was my chance to appreciate life and I was pretty quiet going down that mountain thinking about what happened. The next couple of weeks I thought about it even more and the next few months I started making some changes in my life and really started pursuing martial arts more seriously. I ended up quitting my job and doing some other things that would bring me that happiness and get me in my own life to not have any regrets. It just literally pushed me to chase my dream and chase goals and just to live life."
