Hell Week

It is day 4 of 5 and you have only had two hours of total sleep over the last few days. You’re cold, exhausted and someone is yelling at you.

You and your teammates finished carrying a boat overhead for miles and now you’re standing in freezing water. You can’t feel your legs or any part of your body. It’s been 30 minutes and you are questioning everything. The boss is telling you to quit.

Ten people already gave up and you fear you are next. You hate the idea of quitting after you came so far, so you keep going. This is undoubtedly the worst feeling you’ve ever felt. But you wanted this, and if you stick through it, you will have survived Hell Week and achieved your dream of becoming a Navy Seal.

Those Seals who survive Hell Week are the toughest men in the world. This level of fitness and mental strength have earned the Seals a reputation among friends and foe that these are a bunch of guys you never want to mess with. They can do anything.

It Starts In Your Mind

Success comes from following the right habits over time. Habits form from Discipline. Willpower is at the core of discipline.

This week, will you stick with it?

• that tedious work project that you can’t seem to figure out?
• That team that is so difficult to work with
• The workout routine that is kicking your butt
• The new eating habits that seem to be taking all your fun away.
• The ongoing crucial conversation with the one you love.

Willpower says, this is hard, but I will stick with this. No matter what.
