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, “Destroyer Mode.” Let’s jump in:
- Where does the switch come from? The overdrive. The berserker mode. The full-on destroyer that will not stop?
- This is something that is learned. And it is a hard lesson and not everyone gets it.
- It is an important lesson, a critical one. It is the thing that allows you to go to the extra distance.
- It actually takes two opposing forces to bring it to life. It takes emotion and logic to reach your maximum potential, to really give everything you have, to go beyond your limits.
- Emotion and logic will both reach their limitations. And when one fails, you need to rely on the other.
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
When it just doesn’t make any logical sense to go one, that’s when you use your emotion, your anger, your frustration, your fear, to push further, to push you to say one thing: I don’t stop.
When your feeling are screaming that you have had enough, when you think you are going to break emotionally, override that emotion with concrete logic and willpower that says one thing: I don’t stop.
Fight weak emotions with the power of logic; fight the weakness of logic with the power of emotion. And in the balance of those two, you will find the strength and the tenacity and the guts to say to yourself:
I. Don’t. Stop.
