"There is one thing in life we all have to realize… you are not always going to be the favorite. Sometimes you won’t get the love, the attention, or the respect you feel you deserve or have earned.
You have to learn to be the person who is fine with that.
A lot of people are going to want to see you lose and see you fall on your face, especially if you are good at what you do.
Stop being a person who looks for the attention, the praise, and the applause.
You have to know that you put the work in, not just on your body, but most importantly, on your mind.
When you are walking into these underdog situations, it is important that your mind is covered in Kevlar.
While the crowd and the opponent want to take your heart, it is important that you recognize that you have the opportunity to not just defeat one person but to defeat many.
In doing so, you will gain the respect you deserve. All the training in the world doesn’t matter if you have failed to train the most important weapon in the world, your mind.
Respect to all of those who find themselves in this situation and are willing to go at it alone! A real warrior finds great pleasure in knowing that just one sword can take out many!
Stay hard!"
