People tell me they want to start jiu-jitsu, but the time isn’t right. They just moved, or work is busy, and things are going to settle down soon. They’re waiting.

But life isn’t a series of calm months with the occasional storm. There’s always something: a job change, a relationship change, a move, a health thing, and none of it arrives on a schedule.

If you do wait long enough and find your window, something will happen anyway. It always does.

If you always need perfect conditions, that makes you fragile.
