I See Martial Arts As Moving Forms

Houston People Are Way Cool. They're Smart, They Know How To Have A Good Time, And They Have The Hottest Chicks On The Planet There.

When You're Jealous, Especially Of Someone Else's Art Or Creations You Automatically Put Up These Selfish Walls That Reinforce Your Stupid Ideas. It's Hard To Pull Those Walls Down And Look At What You're Hiding. Look At Your Own Weakness And Realize That The Jealousy Came From Knowing That You're Intimidated By Someone Else's Work, And That When You Compare It To Your Own, You Fall Short.

Now Obviously Popularity Isn't Everything When It Comes To Stand Up Comedy, But The Art Form Itself Is Better Today Than It Ever Has Before. I Think There Are More Great Comics. I Think The Standard Is Higher. The Critical Analysis Is A Little Harsher, But That Is Also Good. Maybe People Have A Higher Standard Than Before, Maybe They Are A Little More Judgmental, A Little More Brutal, That Makes People Work Harder. It Makes The Stand Up Better.

I Realized A Long Time Ago That Instead Of Being Jealous You Can Be Inspired And Appreciative. It Carries More Energy To You... That Can Be An Awesome Motivating Force That Can Improve Your Life If You Choose To Be Inspired And Not Jealous. One (being Jealous) Has No Benefit Whatsoever, The Other Is An Incredible Resource For Creating Momentum And Improvement.
