Some of you guys are MMA and UFC fans, some of your aren't. Here's for those who don't know the back story behind the Chael Sonnen vs. Anderson Silva fight. Going into the fight I was not a huge fan of Sonnen because of the way he trashtalked his opponent. I don't like trash-talking, nor those who do it.
Here's the interview the loser Chael Sonnen gave the day after the worst, more heartbreaking defeat of his life:
Part 2
There's a lot you can take away from what Chael says. I'm an athlete so it speaks to me mostly on that level, but really the way that Chael deals with possibly the worst, most disappointing moment in his life is truly inspiring. He doesn't make any excuses and how incredibly candid he was is just very rarely seen. It's not anything you can fake, that's for sure.
How does this relate to dating at all? It has everything to do with it. To become skilled in ANYTHING worth doing, you must first be willing to pay the price, to put in the work and accept that you will fail at first, and then again, and then again. Accept that not every time you go meet someone things will work out. Most of the time it doesn't, and that's okay. You never truly lose if you learn something from every single encounter, and come out of it stronger and looking for the next opportunity. Chael understands that, and to me he'll always be a winner even if he never wins a fight again.
