The superlative

Your brain is the most powerful weapon in the world.

Once you put away your phones and your computers and all that we have nowadays, that's great.

But your brain is the only thing you have when you're going through depression, when you're going through hard times, when you're going through death.

You may have a shrink you're going to. You may have a best friend you're going to.

But there's 24 hours in a day where you're alone in this brain.

And your brain is talking to you in all kinds of ways.

And it wants to control you and pull you in these different pockets.

If you can't control your own brain and your brain controls you, you got to tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to go and how you want to get there.

You got to work hard. You got to work hard.

I can't remember what's in this paragraph to pass this test to get in the military.

And then write it out again. And write it out again.

I realized if I keep going back and going back and going back until this just becomes...

No, it's just like, alarm clock goes off, we're going back.

It's okay, we're going to adapt and overcome now.

When I was in the Navy, still training, people go,

You were in three hell weeks in one year.

When I lived in a $7 a month place when I was growing up for a short period of time,

Once we moved out of that place, we moved to a $236 a month place,

I was like, I never want to go back to that little piece of ****.

But, if you go back to that $7 a month place, and you realize, this is where I live.

So, when I was going to Navy, still training for 18 months, and going back through all the hard parts, over and over again,

So, my mind said, it's like going to work.

You go to work, you put your suit and tie on,

Every day, suffering, being broken, duct tape my feet up, stress fractures, shin splits, being broken.

And your mind says, if we're not broken, this ain't normal.

So, then your mind starts to get tougher and tougher.

There was nothing outside these walls of hell.

I loved God, but for a short period of time,

Navy, still training. That was my mindset.

You put yourself, you immerse yourself in wherever it is, you become that.

You become that and give yourself no way out.

When I was 297 pounds, and I was fat as hell, trying to be a Navy SEAL, the scariest thing in the world to me, even to this day, was that that could have been the rest of my life.
