Evolution No. 6 – #FoxholeMentality #NeverFinished. From Never Finished by David Goggins
Small minds and weak people kill big dreams. You might have clear goals and be working on yourself every day, but if you have the wrong folks around you, there’s a good chance they could be sucking the life right out of you and making sure that you go nowhere.
The Foxhole
In military speak, the foxhole is a fighting position. In life, it’s your inner circle. These are the people you surround yourself with. They know your history and are aware of your future goals and past limitations. But because it’s a fighting position, a foxhole can just as easily become your grave. Therefore, it is crucial that you be careful about who you invite in. Whether you are at war, competing in a game, or striving in life, you never want someone in your foxhole who lacks faith or will try to steer you away from your full potential by giving you permission to pack it in or wave the white flag when shit looks bleak.
When there is no one around you who believes in or understands your quest, you must turn your fox- hole into a one-man fighting position. That’s okay. It is always better to fight alone until you can find people strong enough to fight the good fight with you. There is no time to waste trying to pull dead- weight up a hill.
I've been thinking about this since yesterday. I want to start a foxhole of savages. A no nonsense, no bs group that pushes one another everyday to achieve higher and higher. To help one another in the wars we encounter in our lives. Must be thick skinned, honest and willing to battle day after day. Will anyone step up and answer the call?? I've been a lone wolf type person since early on. But I know we need one another to sharpen and push beyond our perceived limits. Who wants to join the foxhole and go to war???
