We don’t rise to the level of our expectations, we sink to the level of our training. Train for any conceivable circumstance, especially the bad ones, and both your expectations and training will serve you.
Loved this one Andres and didn’t know that about Phelps!
There’s something about those that face things with courage and strength that seems impossible. Yet there are those like him and even myself at times find ourselves in a situation that’s not only terrifying but insurmountable. We stay the course because we remember that not only can it not only get any worse but we have people depending on us to do something. Stoics described this so perfectly whether it was Seneca, Epictetus, or Marcus Aurelius in the virtues of courage, justice, wisdom and self-control. Morals, values, and virtues were something that were passed down by the older generations. Unfortunately many have forgotten the tradition of passing things down from generation to generation these days. It’s refreshing to read something that has the reminder that strength comes from virtues, and those come from morals and values…Thank you for giving me courage today

Completely agree Kyle! Preparation is key.
Hard work during training is like planting a seed that transforms into a tree that represents competence and excellence.
All the hard work made during our training sooner or later pays off. Always.
Loved the comment Kyle
