Announcements:

• Monthly Battle Plan is now available to watch.
• Make sure you have your month ahead planned!

Lessons:

• Expect it to be hard
• We used to think our brains saw the world as it is. Recent developments in Neuroscience demonstrates this is incorrect.
• The more closely aligned the expectation is with the reality, the better mood / feedback we experience
• It’s human nature to cling to life of any kind, not through a love of life - but through being terrified of the unknown.
• When you expect it to be hard, you align expectations with reality and find happiness and opportunity in the challenge.
• Nietzsche said “what doesnt kill us makes us stronger”. Thats not untrue, but incomplete. “What doesnt kill us, and of which we determine to actively reflect upon and learn from, makes us stronger”
• It’s not the challenge, the adversity or the struggle itself - it’s the mindset, decisions and actions in response that produce the result.
• Being truly hard to kill demands that assume responsibility, and that we exercise that power through action.
• Blame is a door closed quietly in despondent acquiescence. Responsibility is a door kicked violently open to unknown potential.
• Have the courage to kick in the door, expect nothing and demand everything.
