I’m sure you’ve felt this way at some point. Like everything is going against you and when it rains, it pours. And just when you think it can’t get any worse, you get kicked when you’re down.
This is your weekly reminder that that shit is TEMPORARY! So it’s very true that tough times don’t last but tough people do. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing or what’s going on in your life, the actions you take based on whatever adversity that lies in front of you, is what will define your future.
“But Nick it’s 10 below, I can’t get motivated to go to the gym when it’s cold and cloudy.”
“I don’t give a shit. It’s not 10 below at the gym.”
And it’s so damn true that the only thing more contagious than a positive attitude, is a negative one. So your job is to recognize your thoughts in that moment and flip the switch. For example, on my last 2 min bear crawl with 20 sec left, I looked at the clock. My sweats were soaked, my vest felt twice as heavy, my legs and arms wrecked, but I knew I could get one more length in.
Your most lethal tool is your mind, sharpen it. You hold the power to make things good. And when things are good, they’re good, they’re good.
