Chapter 6 - Thoughts

 HESITATION IS THE ENEMY.

 

Hesitation allows the moment to pass, the opportunity to be lost, the enemy to get the upper hand. Hesitation turns into cowardice. It stops us from moving forward, from taking initiative, from executing what we know we must.
Hesitation defeats us. So we must defeat it.

 

- Jocko Willink

      Lead.

Step up. Be the one who people look to.
Absorb the impact—and the negativity.
Draw fire—yes: Draw fire

Chapter 7 - Good

 How do I deal with setbacks, failures, delays, defeats, or other disasters? I actually have a fairly simple way of dealing with these situations, summed up in one word: “Good.”

This is something that one of my direct subordinates, one of the guys who worked for me, a guy who

became one of my best friends, pointed out. He would pull me aside with some major problem or some issue that was going on, and he’d say, “Boss, we’ve got this thing, this situation, and it’s going terribly wrong.”

I would look at him and I’d say:“Good.”

And finally, one day, he was telling me about something that was going off the rails, and as soon as he finished explaining it to me, he said, “I already know what you’re going to say.

And I asked, “What am I going to say?”

And he said, “You’re going to say: ‘Good.’”

He continued, “That’s what you always say. When something is wrong or going bad, you just look at me and say, ‘Good.’”
And I said, “Well. I mean it. Because that is
how I operate.” So I explained to him that when things are going bad, there’s going to be some good that will come from it.
Oh, mission got canceled? Good. We can focus
on another one.

Didn’t get the new high-speed gear we wanted?

                 Good. We can keep it simple.

 

Didn’t get promoted? Good. More time to get better.

Didn’t get funded? Good. We own more of the company.

Didn’t get the job you wanted? Good. Go out, gain more experience, and build a better resume.

 

Got injured? Good. Needed a break from training

 

Got tapped out? Good. It’s better to tap out in training than to tap out on the street.

Got beat? Good. We learned.

Unexpected problems? Good. We have the opportunity to figure out a solution

 

Finally: if you can say the word “good,” then guess what?

It means you’re still alive.
It means you’re still breathing.

And if you’re still breathing, that means you’ve still got some fight left in you.
So get up, dust off,

reload, recalibrate, re-engage—
and go out on the attack

 

So. Let us cry no more. Let us mourn no more.

Let us remember—but let us not dwell …
Instead: Let us laugh and love and let us embrace and venerate everything that life is and every opportunity it gives us.
Let us LIVE—for those WHO live no more.
Let us live to honor them!

Chapter 8 - Focus

 

In combat, focus comes pretty easily because the battle is right in front of your face.
You have no choice but to focus.

But, sometimes, in day-to-day life, you can lose track of the long-term goal. It fades from your vision. It slips from your mind.

WRONG

 

I want that long-term goal to be so embedded in my mind, that I never lose sight of it.

EVER

And the little tasks and projects and short-term goals that you tackle need to lead toward strategic victory—winning the long war.
But we want results

 

 

NOW.

 

 

We want the shortcut to the winner’s podium.
We need the instant gratification.

And when we don’t get the short-term glory

 

sometimes we lose sight of those long-term goals. They fade. We lose focus.
So we stop the daily tasks and the daily disciplines that will allow us to achieve our goals. And a day slips by. And then another day. And a day turns into a week and a week into a year.

And you look up in six weeks or six months or six years …
And you’ve made no progress:

None

 

In fact: The only thing valuable in regret is the lesson you learned.
The knowledge you gained.
But walking around filled with regret gets you nothing.
So. Learn and move on.
Don’t let regret beat you down. Don’t be a slave to regret.

Chapter 9 - Truth

 

Everything is in our head, our head make us ANXIOUS, happy, nervous and Sad. The problem is that this is the way we are wired, we need a new way to get wired. People tell BULLSHIT and once you start giving fuck about this bullshit you are doom as fuck.

 

 

That's the problem... believing in it!

We get brainwashed, manipulated... always face negativity... The problem is that we don't act upon the things we desire... we leave the thoughts aside and we take massive action.

 

 

That's what we need!

 

STOP GIVING FUCK ABOUT IT
STOP FEELING GUILTY FOR THINGS YOU HAVE DONE

 

 

 

(Explanation: I am going to explain it in a very easy way... don't take life so serious... You are supposed to have joy, happiness, laugher not SADNESS and anger and tiredness... DEPRESSION.

Guilty for what?
You can't change it... just accept it)

 

 

 

 

STOP SAYING LATER
STOP THE DENIAL
STOP EXCUSING ACTION
STOP EXCUSES
STOP SELF-DEFEATING THOUGHTS
STOP LIVING IN YOUR HEAD

 

 

 

(Explanation: Probably there is NO one to explain you the dynamics, but I am here... your mom fucked you over with "Rape", "Pedophiles", "Diseases", "Syndromes"... and all dark witch craft.. and she fucked your brain... now it's time to live this wired way aside and install a new system.

No More denial of changing or action, thoughts are SUPPOSED to be driven by motivation not by desperation.
You have been in your head 1000 times... nothing more than a cynical... hell.. crazy circle of mad thoughts spinning around..)

Chapter 10 - "No" and "Not Feeling It"

 NO.

Let it teach you. Let it make you better. Let the fear of regret fuel you—to take action—
today—now

 

 

Take action now to become a person not filled with regret,
but a person filled with knowledge and strength and power
and life.  

 

NOT FEELING IT

How do I handle those days when I’m just not “feeling it”?
Those days when I am tired or worn out or just sick of the grind …
What do I do on those days?

I GO ANYWAY. I GET IT DONE

 

Even if I am just going through the motions—

I GO THROUGH THE MOTIONS.

Don’t really want to work out? I work out.
Don’t really want to hammer on a project? I hammer on the project.
Don’t really want to get up and get out of bed?

I GET UP AND GET OUT OF BED.

Now—these could be signals that you need some time off—and those signals might be right

BUT—don’t take today off. Wait until tomorrow. Don’t give in to the immediate gratification that is whispering in your ear.

SHUT THAT DOWN. DO NOT LISTEN.

Instead: Go through the motions. Lift the weights. Sprint the hill. Work on the project. GET OUT OF BED.
I don’t like procrastination. But if you feel like you need a break—that is one thing you should procrastinate

Chapter 11 - Fear Of Failure

Fear of failure.

Fear of failure can keep you from taking the risk.

It can leave you sitting there, paralyzed into not taking action.

And that is obviously bad

 

But: I don’t want you to overcome fear of failure.
I want you to be afraid of failure.

FEAR OF FAILURE IS GOOD.

Fear of failure will keep you up at night, planning, rehearsing, going over contingencies.
Fear of failure will keep you training hard.
Fear of failure will stop you from cutting corners

Fear of failure will keep you working, thinking, striving, and relentlessly trying to be more prepared for battle.
So I want you to be afraid of failing. I fear failure.
But more important—
I want you to be horrified—terrified—
of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing.
 
That is what I want you to be afraid of:
Waking up in six days or six weeks or six

years or SIXTY YEARS and being no closer to your goal … You have made NO PROGRESS.
That is the horror. That is the nightmare. That is what you really need to be afraid of: Being stagnant.

So.

     GET UP. AND. GO.

Take the risk, take the gamble, take the first step. Take action.

      And don’t let another day.
