WE ALL HAVE THIS INSIDE OF US…
March 17, 2023 AndyGram

I want you to know that even if you're not the smartest...

Even if you're not the strongest...

Even if you're not the fastest...

Even if you're not the most skilled...

You don't have to be.

Because here's the truth...

The only thing that's going to separate you from everybody else is your willingness to show up and do the work.

True greatness can only be achieved through the pursuit of your true POTENTIAL...

Which is something we all have.

But until you recognize your potential and the incredible person you have the opportunity to become...

Nobody else will either.

Dedicate yourself to pursuing your potential...

Be willing to do the fucking work…

You won’t regret it.

Brent Glesson.. great advice

Stay in Your Three-foot World. Control what you can, ignore what you can’t.

One of my closest SEAL teammates, Mark Owen – bestselling author of No Easy Day, once told me a story about a rock-climbing course he attended. One afternoon, Mark found himself about one hundred feet off the deck and about twenty feet above his last piece of protection. Meaning that if he lost his grip and fell, he’d plummet forty feet before the rope caught him in a violent jerk. Noticing that Mark was freezing up, the lead instructor lit a cigarette, and without using a rope, shimmied up the rock face to Mark’s location.

“What’s up bro?” ask the wiry instructor, taking a long drag while clinging to the rock. “Don’t worry about anything but what’s in your immediate control. Stay in your three-foot world.”

THE POWER OF SAYING NO
March 18, 2023 AndyGram
One of the best things you can do for the progression of yourself and the people around you is learning to say the word "No."

This is something that I personally struggled with for a long time...

...and because of it, I often found myself frustrated and bitter.

Understand that you're not hurting people or letting anyone down by saying no…

Oftentimes, people need to hear the word “No” in order to have the difficult conversation with themselves to improve.

Quit undermining your confidence, productivity, and sanity.

Learn to say the word "No" … and get used to saying it clearly and often...

Everything in your life will improve as a result

My outside workout was a embrace the suck time. 24 degrees was not to bad but fuck the 20-30 mile an hour winds was brutal. Winter that never ends

 

[E.J.D]

Day 47 is complete. Definitely not a easy day today but it will be considered that tomorrow...

Day 48.. Today was a long ass day that kept going and going like the Energizer Bunny. Finally finished and won the day. Physically exhausted. ✓ another day in the books

WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK?
March 19, 2023 AndyGram
Early in an elephant's life … it can easily be restrained with a stake and a piece of rope.

It's too weak to break free no matter how hard it tries.

Eventually, the elephant accepts that its efforts are worthless and stops trying to break free.

Then as the elephant grows...

Matures...

...and becomes a massive, powerful creature that could very easily free itself from such a weak restraint...

It doesn’t.

Why?

Because the elephant has already accepted that the rope and stake have control over it … so it no longer tries to free itself.

The elephant has come to terms with what it believes to be its limits.

This had me thinking...

What if the reason most people never become great is because of their perceived limits?

Because here's the truth...

You don't have limits…

You have stories that may have once been true at one point but no longer are that you tell yourself about why you can’t.

These stories are what restrain you from breaking free and living a life on your terms...

No different than the elephant being restrained by the stake and rope.

Take a second to consider what's holding you back in life…

Take a look in the mirror...

Then tell yourself the truth...

The real truth.

The truth being:

You have been lying to yourself.

You honestly don’t know your potential because you have truly never committed to it.

Then commit to it with your actions…

…and fuck the tired old bullshit stories.

I picked this up used on eBay and it arrived today. Well start reading this along with the encyclopedia Britannica of a book the Benjamin Franklin book is lol.

 

[E.J.D]

What is your WHY? Do you know? Are you searching for it? Have you found it and are living it out in reality?

 

[E.J.D]

The eBay used book fairy came bringing gifts. I do have the audio version of Trident. Listen to it at 1.10-1.25 x speed. You will thank me for it.

Day 52 has been won. In a new way to challenge myself I decided to do my outside workout first at 2:15 am. Some limited lighting to see a bit. It went well overall. I just finished my 10 pages of reading in the Franklin book. I did earlier read some of my other book. Feeling exhausted but victorious. I hope everyone won their days!!

IT’S NOT A SACRIFICE…IT’S AN INVESTMENT
March 24, 2023 AndyGram

Most people are under the impression that pursuing success requires sacrifice.

They think that by ditching the habits that keep them stuck...

They're missing out on all of the "fun shit."

I'm talking about the nights out...

The week-long vacations...

The time spent with family and friends...

All of it.

The truth is...

They're right.

...But only because they have this mindset of sacrifice.

If this is how you truly feel...

You need to start thinking about success differently.

Your decision to pursue success isn't a sacrifice at all...

It's an investment...

One that will give you a return that's far greater than any of the "fun shit" you're missing out on.

That return will be a better you...

A better body...

A better mind...

A better career...

A better paycheck...

...and so much more.

Stay the course.

It's worth it.
