Boxing Reframes Challenges
Share
Sam shares how boxing helped him put other life challenges in perspective.
"When I used to box and I used to get my ass kicked in the morning, everything else - the volume's way turned down. I just got beat up and it's okay, I don't mind. That's sort of why I like reading biographies too. I like seeing this is a normal feeling that I am having.
When I'm in these difficult moments, I think 'don't burn it down, don't walk away.' It is normal to have conflict and you have to accept that in order to do anything interesting, conflict is part of that. Oftentimes conflict or constraints is where beauty and art is created."
