The biggest challenge you have in your life is the battle of gaining mental toughness.
This world is based on three things.
1. Fear
2. Confusion & Chaos
3. The power of suggestion and belief
Once you have overcome these hurdles, and master them everything else in the world is pretty cut & dry.
Fear is an illusion created out of your imagination and memory. Neither one exist in this moment. The other is other people's fears and imagination. Our brain likes to create stories. Part of mental toughness is moving through the fear no matter what the thoughts say, the emotions, or the feelings say. You just move and do. Every thought is just a thought. Every emotion is just and emotion. Every feeling is just a feeling. Acknowledge them, validate them, and dispose of them. Never dwell in them.
Confusion and Chaos: Everything that is spoken to you or what you speak has a negative or positive effect. Life or death to you or another person. The intention is to harm others or intention to be harmless. Ill-intentions are your down fall. People say things to distract you. People do things to distract you. There intention is to distract your focus. Words are used to rattle your cage and see what you're made of. It builds character. It shows whether you will quit and give up in the middle of half time. One of my favorite mentors would be Bear Bryant. Hard, harsh, and pushed his players to the limit. If you weren't mentally tough, you wouldn't make his team. If you quit and give up on you, basically his lesson was, the only one you're quitting on is you. Not anyone else. This is the truth.
The moment you've had enough pain and suffering in your life, is when you will get up with a fight and fight with all your might to succeed.
The power of suggestion and belief. Anyone can tell you anything. You will believe it and accept it as truth without questioning it. Question everything. Facts and evidence. If there is no facts and evidence in your experience, it's not your truth. It may be someone else's truth.
