Not to be arrogant. I don't have one.

The last one I had was probably still me. Me, still living, because I always talk about, I pay rent. So we used to live in a $7 a month place when I was growing up.

This is in Indiana. So we had a lot of money in Buffalo. And when my mom left my dad, we went to nothing for a period of time before she got on her feet. And that $7 a month place used to be, it was my, it was who I was. I was no one. I was in the sewer. My mom went there. I had nothing. And you always feel like you have nothing. I achieved so much. I was a Navy SEAL.

I've gone through ranger school. I've gone through Delta Force selection training. I've done so much. I run 200 miles, pull up records, everything. Learned to read and write, became pretty intelligent. And I still was like, man, what is wrong with me? It wasn't until I got real sick. And I talked about in the last chapter of that book, I got real sick and I was about 38 years old. I'm 43 now.

And my life got real quiet. I went from running 205 miles in 39 hours to couldn't get out of bed. The doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. But once again, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

In that moment when my whole life changed, I went from a guy who worked out every day, trained every day, to a guy who couldn't get out of bed. My life was taken from me. The one thing that kept me going was my training.

And that's when I realized I hadn't thought, hadn't taken time to think about what I'd done in my life.

I hadn't reflected. I'd done all these things, but there was no finish line. I still believe that, but you must have time to reflect. I was just going. I finished a race of life and I wouldn't even receive my medal. I go on.

Most people sit around and that's what they like. They need the ceremony if I accomplished something. Validation. I haven't done anything. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
