Imperfect and Fine with it.

I'll start by saying I have a smoking hot wife that thinks I'm good look'n.

That being said, I have some Idiosyncrasies...

My right ear is bigger than my left ear.
My right leg is smaller than my left leg.
My nose is big too.

You see, I contracted this weird vegetable disorder in my ears from wrestling. It's called cauliflower ear and it can be contagious in combat sports. My right ear caught it worse than my left ear somehow.

My right leg is healthy and strong, but it has never caught up with my left leg. I had a little accident with my ACL in Jiu Jitsu a few years ago that caused my right leg to atrophy. It goes away after awhile I'm told (Yep, I workout).

My nose has always been big. At least as far back as I can remember. Breaking it multiple times during my college wrestling career didn't help anything either. Now it's big and a little lumpy.

Guess what, I'm cool with it all. Most of these issues were really self inflicted since I chose combat sports as a way of life.

I'm mostly cool with it though because my value doesn't come from perfection. My value comes from The Lord.

I do believe every person should take care of their bodies, try to be their best, and feel good about themselves.

But, our true value is more than skin deep. Our true value as people comes from from loving ourselves, loving others, and loving God.

Your imperfections don't make you imperfect. They make you unique and maybe they even have a good story behind them.

When you come to this realization, then you might just marry up and get a spouse that is out of your league like I did!

Checkout my right ear as a baby and now that I have my own baby. Dang wrestling!


God Bless,


Coach P
