And I would love to say like, oh, keep pushing through adversity, but this isn't adversity.

This is just things that suck.

It's one level below adversity.

Adversity is when you're having a challenge.

This is just something that's going to suck and you're going to have to push through it.

Anything from, oh, my girlfriend dumped me and I'm going to prove her wrong to something that much more significant, which is my girlfriend died and I told her I was going to do this and I'm going to do it for her.

Both those things, depending on the human being, can be a strong enough why to get through.

And I have friends that were, I have one friend that was in Vietnam.

He was in Vietnam.

And when he showed up to SEAL training, he didn't know what it was.

He thought he was volunteering to be like a diver, a diver that would do construction under boats.

He thought that what it was.

And so he showed up and they're like, this is SEAL training.

He's like, what's a SEAL?

And they kind of explained it to him.

And then he went and made it through.

All that torture, all that mayhem.

And why?

Because that was what they were telling him to do.

And he was like, okay, that's what we're doing.
