I had no coach, had no trainer, had no money.

I didn't know how to lose weight.

I had no knowledge of what I was doing.

I was just working.

I was just sacrificing.

But I would have never found these tools if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place.

And your true self is found in that very uncomfortable zone.

When you talk to people that went to SEAL training that didn't make it, most of the time, it's some reason.

There's a medical reason.

There's a family problem.

There's very few people that look at you and say, oh, I quit because it sucked, which is what happens to the vast majority of people.

The vast majority of people that don't make it through SEAL training, they didn't make it through because they quit.

Your excuses will destroy you and take everything that you ever wanted from you if you let them.

When your excuses make you feel a little bit better about the fact that you didn't execute on what you needed to execute on, then they can make you feel better.

But they're not helping you.

They're not helping you at all.

This went wrong.

This failed.

Didn't accomplish this.

And it's not the fault of my boss.
