The biggest problem of self-improvement you never realized
Self-improvement is hailed as the savior of everyone’s existence, but it holds ONE very dark secret.
I was always into martial arts, training 5 to 6 times a week was as normal for me as eating spaghetti. I once wrote in a previous article:
Everything has a price.
Unfortunately, even with training, this principle remains the same.
I was always training, driving to competitions, teaching, and training again.
Unfortunately, the price I had to pay was that I never met any girls, my training schedule just did not allow for it.
For many years I was training until late Friday night, so I was too tired to go out.
Then on Saturday, I could not go out, because Sunday was competition day.
I think many semi-professional athletes can relate. As I said, everything has a price.
It was not like I was a ‘shy’ kid, or unattractive kid (at least, I do not think so, lol).
After my university studies began, it became harder and harder to combine a master’s degree with national-level competition.
