The person that is killing you is you Go forward into the fray Attack your objectives with mind, body and soul You must always have an open mind When in times of great trauma and pain, detach War is hell - be grateful you have not experienced it Go to war to win If you cannot control something, do not worry about it Be in control of all you can control Exercise seven days a week - let life bring you days off Take care of all your responsibilities - do not delegate, take ownership Choose the hard tasks - ones you do not want to do For someone to grow, they themselves have to do it and go through it "If you are to write, write 1,000 words a day" - John Willink Build the foundations first The written word is a very powerful tool Detach throughout the process - during the event The hard part is to notice the pull of emotion and chaos Ask yourself "What do I look or sound like right now?" Notice the signs in your body that you are losing detachment Nobody likes being evaluated or judged Remember you have natural defensive mechanisms; put your ego in check, then listen See criticism from their perspective Every criticism, big or small, is built on something - be aware of motives, but find the grain of truth Take the criticism, solve the problem Disciplined decisions create more disciplined decisions Do not let one bad day lead to more bad days Do not allow momentum to build the wrong way Be conscious of the tricks your primitive mind will play - "Do not be a sucker." The long-term benefits are the real benefits Discipline starts with waking up early It is the root of all good qualities It must be applied to all aspects of your life Discipline is doing what is right Do not break in the moment of truth - discipline will not allow it Discipline is your best friend - it will put you on your path. Your path to freedom When you make yourself better, you make the world better Get after it
