Im not tryin to Out-struggle anyone either but i have never had money, I have struggled and struggled constantly since i was born our family struggled and the only thing that has kept me up, like Jose Aldo, is familly. Thats all that matters man is that true emotion, soomething like unconditional love is not about givin mama a house, If Jose Aldo was a day laborer in Sparta, workin his ass off for 12 an hour, his family would love him exactly the same if not more...If anything id say his passion is his family and his dream is to see them happy and loved, and if he were that day laborourer up in the sticks in Jerz, he still would have had his dream come to fruition....

I knew for a FACT you'd say you were broke as fuck. It's the internet man. Everyone of us rose from the ashes and overcame the odds, didn't you know?

The dude steps into a cage and fights, and when asked, all he ever wanted to do was own a house. His dream wasn't to become UFC champion, which he did, it was to provide for his family and make them not have to struggle anymore.
I have another example. The Briscoe Brothers are a pro wrestling tag team. They have grinded every day of their careers, working for peanuts and owning a chicken farm on the site. They got a tryout for WWE, and it went well. One of them goes home and tells his wife "We made it. All of the hard work has paid off. You can quit your job waiting on tables, we're going to be rich". Turns out, WWE didn't like their image, so they never got the job.
The reason he was so happy because his dream was always to get to that level. Their passion might be wrestling, but just wrestling isn't their dream. When you can live well off of something, and earn money from it, then you have achieved your dream.
