One of my students asked me the other day how to have the "Sensei way of life", to which I replied you would need the Sensei mindset. Its the same way you get the life of anyone, you simply adopt their habitual behaviors.
I then clarified with him what he meant BY the Sensei way of life, and he was talking specifically about my tendency to tap him out without too much effort.
I replied that it was certainly a question of knowing the techniques, but, that the most important aspect was the mindset behind the techniques - the constant seeking for opportunity, recognizing the opportunity, and acting upon it habits.
I informed him that its the same habits I have for a lot of things, including financial desires. I informed him that the only thing that separates millionaires from non-millionaires is their ability to see, recognize, and act upon opportunities.
The same is true in Jiu Jitsu :)
