The Navy Seals live by this motto!
In other words, love the pain, invite the pain, ask for more!
We all have fear – we’re human, not robots. It can drive you to excellence, but you must first stand up to it and be ready to fight. I grew up afraid of failure and anything that was uncomfortable or unfamiliar, but made a conscious decision as an adult to fight back.
When will you get sick of allowing fear to dominate your decisions? Choose NOW … no more!

I posted this chat a couple months ago, but wanted to revisit it. Coach Godwin is the all-time leading scorer from the University of North Florida’s basketball team, and is now a leading skills coach. His Until philosophy aligned perfectly with my 1% Mindset.

6 runner-ups at the US Open isn’t a coincidence, it’s a pattern!
I won’t pretend to know Phil Mickelson from the inside-out, but I do know he’s a gambler, loving the adrenalin high that comes from defying the odds. The 1% Mindset is built on the foundation of doing what the majority are too afraid to do, but it’s also immersed in complete discipline and control.
Champions from all arenas know when to crank it into 6th gear and when to downshift into 4th. Talent isn’t enough … winning is an art form!
Thank you to @EnvyMyAmbitions on Twitter for sending me this picture. He tweets me regularly, focusing on how he’s going to separate himself from the pack – ridiculous work ethic is one of his biggest weapons.
What are YOU doing to distinguish yourself? What commitment have you made to to set yourself apart from the weak and timid? Are you modeling for your kids, students, or friends? Who would benefit from your personal redevelopment?
If you can’t do it for yourself … focus on those who may feel inspired watching you raise your bar. The 1% Mindset is a choice to wake up each morning, dedicated to living a fearless life, pushing boundaries past the majority’s small term thinking.
When will you start?
