From Jocko Willink – BEGIN – This is where it begins. In the darkness. Before the sun and the birds and the world. Every day. When the alarm sounds. IT IS TIME. Rise – Despite fatigue and soreness. Curse the warmth of the bed. Curse the comfort of the pillow. Fight the temptation of weakness. Get up and go. Do it quickly, without thought. Do not reason with weakness. You cannot. You must only take action – Get up and go.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From Archbishop Desmond Tutu in The Book of Joy – 

“Discovering more joy does not, I’m sorry to say, save us from the inevitability of hardship and heartbreak. In fact, we may cry more easily, but we will laugh more easily too. Perhaps we are just more alive. Yet as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that ennobles rather than embitters. We have hardship without becoming hard. We have heartbreak without becoming broken.”

“You have to decide that you’re going to be in control. That you are going to do what YOU want to do. Weakness doesn’t get a vote. Laziness doesn’t get a vote. Sadness doesn’t get a vote. Frustration doesn’t get a vote. Negativity doesn’t get a vote.” – Jocko Willink “On mind control”
MOLESKIN:
I’ve felt this over the past week with illness, job stuff, and otherwise. It’s up to me how to respond. I get to choose how to move forward. It’s ok to feel those things for a little bit, but it’s up to you to choose how to go ahead.
