Yeah. And also, I'm also like no marriage counselor.
That's another thing you can add to my list.
Well, I think that I just feel like because I'm sober, right? I see everything through a clear lens all the time. And I've also learned through the work I've done on myself that like the stuff that hurts...
the most or that is the most uncomfortable tends to be the things that provide also the the most gratitude and the most reward so like going through the things that are super difficult and challenging tend to ultimately deliver
the greatest gifts you know and like that's that has been depicted over and over and over again in my life where it's like man like and that's and and i'm also a glutton for it you know like you sign i sign up for some ridiculous fitness challenge and what was it called again that one that you did that i was supposed to maybe do with the high rocks it was great i'm doing i'm doing one again in dallas i want to do it in november it's so great it's so great you should do it can i train for it now
Oh, of course. Yeah, of course. You're already in great shape. So for you to do it, the only thing that you would have to pick up is probably your running.
It's a lot of running.
It's 8K. So it's an 8K.
Yeah, but it's not about... It's different. It's like running 1,000-meter...
spurts so you basically run a thousand meters and then you do a thousand meter row you run a thousand meters and you do a thousand meter skier you run a thousand meters you do burpee burpee broad jumps you run a thousand meters you do farmers carries you run a thousand meters you push the sled you run it so it's a lot of and it's basically running a thousand meters after fully exerting your body on some other exercise
So it's awesome, though. I love it. But I guess going back to the point where, like, for me, what I've just learned is that, like, my greatest learnings in life have all come out of and on the other side of challenge and difficulty and adversity and fear, you know, everything.
And so I think, like, I know walking into a conversation that I feel like I need to have with my wife is never comfortable.
it's like if i feel like it's not if if it's something that she's doing that's frustrating for me you know or or if if i could tell that i'm doing something that's pissing her off and she doesn't immediately bring it up to me i will broach the conversation and most of the time i'm correct But like, I just know that, you know, the other side of fear is freedom, period. Like, that's just the truth.
It just is. It's just everything that you are afraid of, when you are able to face it, walk through it, experience what that feels like on the other side of it, you just feel a sense of like, you feel light.
I think what it boils down to is, and this is kind of what I've distilled it down to from my life, and I've failed so many times at this, but commitment over time develops confidence, and confidence over time develops courage. It's the three Cs. Anything great requires courage. And typically greatness comes out of overcoming fear, right?
Like people write about people that win wars, shit like that, right? And so I think where it starts is like the commitment component of life.
Commitment breeds confidence.
Yeah, but you can't be competent without experience.
Yeah, but that develops competence in that thing, right? So like as an example, when I was... coming out of the dark place in addiction, right? And I was, I had zero self-confidence, zero ability to do anything but run for the fucking hills. Because that's what I did. That was my life for 11 years. I just was like, dial it in. I'm done. Feel good. I want to feel better. Feel bad.
