Here is today’s Game and what’s going on.
Here is what I discovered today in our Dadly Daily Declaration reading from Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink.
The title of today’s reading is “Fear of Failure.” Let’s jump in:
- 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.
- 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.
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Be horrified of sitting on the sidelines and doing nothing. That is what you need 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 slip by.
