Let's go.
So again, I would love to be able to
give you this profound anchor that people need to have.
But it's like, oh, do you want to do this or not?
Which is what I think a lot of it boils down to.
Do you actually want to do this or not?
Do you actually want to do this or not?
Because if you actually want to do it, what's going to stop you?
Nothing.
And if you don't really want to do it,
Well, it's going to stop you just about anything that comes up.
Just about any obstacle that gets in your way becomes an excuse.
It becomes a reason.
It becomes a rationale for not proceeding down that path.
And this is interesting too.
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, by the way, which is what happens to the vast majority of people.
