I enjoy your posts and threads, which are insightful, creative and keep the Sikhism forum moving out of slumber.
I am sorry your martial arts warrior career has not taken off, but am glad that you have been able to make your mark as a writer with your writings.
As a saying of Prophet Muhammad goes, " The ink of the scholar is holier than the blood of the martyr."
So well done. If your martial arts career had lifted off, we might not have had you here. Sikhism is a faith for which many martyrs had given up their lives. That you are giving a voice to this great faith is an achievement in itself, if you ask me.
Also, Sikhism talks about
Charhdi Kala, which is aspiring to maintain a state of mental strength and positive mental attitude in all situations and circumstances. ( Hope you can write a thread on this)

This is exactly similar to the sportsmanship spirit, emphasized in sports psychology.
As a sports adage goes, ' A champion either wins or learns but never loses.'
Hence, I would exhort you to imbibe the champion mindset and conquer your adversities and goals, or at least do your very best so that you may have no regrets later on.
"To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity; the next is, to strive, and deserve to conquer. " - Samuel Johnson
