I think discernment is really one of the most important, and that's why I started with it.

It's understanding that know what you stand for, which begins with an ethos, a collective ethos, and then a personal why.

After that, you get to decide the person you want to become, but it requires you to become very aware, acutely aware of the thoughts that you are thinking because those thoughts you determine are they relevant or not, which then inform the next right action.

Through time, then, obviously, you build discipline, the ability to take that next right action every time it shows up.

And as Jocko Willink says, freedom.

Discipline equals freedom.

I cannot disagree.

I know that there's an ability to adapt and flex our mind.

Beyond that, you'll be able to learn how to adapt and cultivate a growth mindset and develop emotional agility, which is the ability to move quickly from feelings.

You're very agile.

And really my favorite one, which I don't have time to cover in this episode, but my favorite one is the ability to maintain a neutral mind.

Friends, as high as you go, the more amped up you go, the more excited you become, the more disappointed you become, any of these big emotions, as high as you allow yourself to go is as low as you will fall.

It's very predictable.

And at the height of excitement, you're vulnerable.

Because typically, after a high, there's a low.

And at that low, you're also your most vulnerable from a mental standpoint, from a physical standpoint, from an emotional standpoint.

You will learn how to maintain and leverage dopamine and your physical environment to build a level of neutrality that will allow you to push forward.

And ultimately, it's just like reps in the gym.

You build your capacity.

You build a capacity.
