Why is it vital to pursue your passions?

Jeff came from a small town in southern Oregon. He has always loved outdoor activities like fishing, BMX, motorcycles, and baseball. At a young age, Jeff realized he needed to leave his hometown behind. He joined the Marine Corps and went to college. He became the first person in his extended family to attend college, and everyone had high hopes for his future, expecting him to land a big job and do something significant.

But his heart was drawn to martial arts, and he distinctly remembers telling himself that if he could earn just 30k a year doing what he was passionate about, it would be more fulfilling than making 100k sitting behind a desk, doing something that didn't resonate with him. One of his old teachers used to emphasize, "You want to make a life, not just a living." He's grateful that he followed this advice because it led him down a path that truly fulfilled him.

After teaching 25,000 students in his martial arts academy and earning the equivalent of black belts in the martial arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Tai Chi, Qigong, Muay Thai, and Kenpō, Jeff now shares personal experiences, age-old wisdom, and the philosophies of meditative arts with his readers and students.
