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, “Stress.” Let’s jump in:
- Humans can withstand almost inconceivable stress — and you can too.
- This is your first step: Gain perspective.
- To do that you must do something critical in many situations: Detach. Whatever problems or stress you are experiencing, detach from them.
- Stress is generally caused by what you can’t control.
- If the stress is something that you can control and you are not, that is a lack of discipline and a lack of ownership. Get control of it. Impose your will to make it happen. Solve the problem. Relieve the stress.
- If the stress is something you can’t control: Embrace it.
- You can’t control it, but–How can you look at it from a different angle? How can you use it to your advantage?
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Don’t fight stress. Embrace it. Turn it on itself. Use it to make yourself sharper and more alert. Use it to make you think and learn and get better and smarter and more effective.
Use the stress to make you a better you.
