Breathe: A Life in Flow

This is one my favourite books of all time. Rickson Gracie had an amazing career starting from nothing. He really strikes me as a humble warrior who has an inspiring perspective on life. Some key quotes that I go back to all the time in my life:

A true fighter is not how many times he gets knocked down but how many times he gets up

Insecure state of mind comes from fear of losing

Fear is a self protection mechanism that has to be managed

Fear comes from a lack of confidence

Spiritual security - Accept the outcome of failure or success in advance but be all in and confident - then you can dance on the razors edge
