You see, all the instincts are in here.

It's pulling those instincts out.

And sometimes to pull out the right instincts requires some travesty or crisis or challenges to go through.

So human up.

Get up and get on it because the weak will struggle.

Success is reserved for those that are the strongest.

And so every time I would need to pull the trigger on something and there was resistance and reluctance, those five words, it's time to man up.

And then I would do it.

And you need to have the courage to follow through.

Quit half-assing yourself.

Every time I've risen the standards, people have made me feel guilty that maybe I'm raising it too high.

Maybe I'm too tough on my guys.

Maybe I'm too edgy and I expect everybody to step up and man up and woman up.

Maybe I'm a little too demanding.

Maybe I shouldn't raise my standards to this level.

Don't let them confuse you.

You keep raising the standard.

And guess what?

I had to get up even though it was hard.

And I had to take ownership of my life, take ownership of my time, take ownership of my day.
