Dancing with Dichotomy: How To Harmonize with Contentment & Growth in Jiu Jitsu & in Life 

In life, we seem to dance with two seemingly opposing forces: contentment and growth. 

On one hand, we seek a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. We should cherish all that we have and be grateful for the abundance at this very moment. 

On the other hand, we yearn for progress, improvement, and personal development. We should not settle for mediocrity and constantly work towards more. 

But are these forces truly at odds with each other, or can they coexist harmoniously?
