When I train, I love to take time off and fly to the Natural History Museum or an exhibition. I just love that. When you know your past, it will help you with your futureโฆ Thatโs why most of my friends are not fighters. Most of my friends are nerds like me. Thatโs why I have a hard time finding a girlfriend. I need someone to talk science with. Iโm married to my work right now. But you never know. One day I could wake up and just do something different. Life is so unpredictable.
Georges St-PierreFights aren't won in the octagon, they're won in the months leading up to them, in a near-empty gym, in the lost hours of a day, whether I feel like it or not.
Georges St-PierreThe real test is this one: When you're alone in a room, when you're in a private place and nobody else can see you, what do you choose to do? Eat well, or eat poorly? Exercise, or watch television? Practice something, or do nothing? The best version of the truth appears to you and you alone, when nobody else can see. This is the test of discipline, and it's what makes the difference in your life. It's what regulates your own system and guides it. The individual alone comprehends it.
Georges St-PierreThe beach in Tel-Aviv I went to, it even looks and feels a little bit like Rio de Janeiro. Some other places are very European and I just like it. I thought it would be fun but it's a lot better than that. It's a lot more relaxed and a lot of fun, and I feel very secure, and I would tell my friends they should come here when they plan a vacation. Not only the history.
Georges St-PierreYou donโt get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you donโt want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It wonโt be the best workout you have, you wonโt accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesnโt matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.
