How the Dragon Ball anime taught me how to break through mental barriers and continuously ascend beyond my limits!

1996

I still remember the feeling of anticipation waiting in front of my TV after school everyday. The words, "Tune in next time on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z", still echo in my mind. There's no way in hell I was gonna miss tuning in. This animated world sparked a fire in my imagination. There's something about spiky haired energy blasting fighting alien heroes that got me addicted like a kid with an endless pile of candy after Halloween. I became emotionally invested in the development of every new character as the story unfolded. I couldn’t have ever predicted the magnitude of impact that this show was going to have for the rest of his life.⁠

No matter how impossible a situation may be, there always was a way to overcome every challenge. Dragon Ball used the power of emotion to unleash untapped strength that was locked deep inside every character. When their body couldn’t go no more, their mind told them there’s still something left. That became the foundation of my mentality. When it came to solving problems, I knew I could find a solution if I just dug deeper. When it came to pushing my body to its limits, I knew I could go beyond it if I just dug deeper. This mentality came with a tremendous amount of stubbornness. Regardless, this minor behavioral set back would eventually grow into limitless potential!

The number 2 has been following me my whole life. Whether it’s finishing in 2nd place or being second in command, being in that position shows you that you’re capable of achieving more. I’ve approached everything I'm dedicated to with relentless tenacity knowing that there could be someone else that’s working twice as hard as me. That constant improvement progression has completely annihilated stagnation and helped me push my limitations. I would choose to be number 2 just so I can use that as inspiration to keep learning, challenging, improving, and progressing even further beyond!

Relentless Tenacity combined with Endless Work Ethic is the Ultimate Fusion!
