Today I was training BJJ and suddenly one thought came to my mind.
It was something like this:
Fuck! I live in Asia!
And then this wave of joy hit me.
Since I was really young, one of my dreams was living abroad, experiencing new cultures, and seeing the world with my own eyes.
When I was 19, I had the opportunity to leave Brazil for the first time and spend 6 months living in Germany.
It was an amazing time and after that, my will to travel and see even more different things just increased.
4 years after that, I went to Thailand and lived there for almost one year, incredible experience too and I just fell in love with Asia.
And since October, I鈥檓 living in Malaysia now.
But like I said in the April 17th post, it is very easy to get used to your new life.
And stop appreciating the little things.
So when I was training today and that thought came, I just stopped for a moment to be truly grateful for everything.
For all the different things I can see every day.
For all these new experiences.
For the opportunity to teach Jiu Jitsu on the other side of the World.
This is so crazy.
I cannot take this for granted, never!
Will continue to grind, work hard, but always enjoying every step of the way!
See you guys tomorrow!
