Healthy empathy as self-other separateness and the appropriate regulation/suppression of reflexive emotional responses. This is not how empathy is usually discussed and thus why most people get empathy wrong. @TheMarthaBeck explains the healthy path, on the Huberman Lab podcast.

An email from Coach Sommer I revisit often:

Hi Tim,

Patience. Far too soon to expect strength improvements. Strength improvements [for a movement like this] take a minimum of 6 weeks. Any perceived improvements prior to that are simply the result of improved synaptic facilitation. In plain English, the central nervous system simply became more efficient at that particular movement with practice. This is, however, not to be confused with actual strength gains.

Dealing with the temporary frustration of not making progress is an integral part of the path towards excellence. In fact, it is essential and something that every single elite athlete has had to learn to deal with. If the pursuit of excellence was easy, everyone would do it.

In fact, this impatience in dealing with frustration is the primary reason that most people fail to achieve their goals. Unreasonable expectations timewise, resulting in unnecessary frustration, due to a perceived feeling of failure. Achieving the extraordinary is not a linear process.

The secret is to show up, do the work, and go home.

A blue collar work ethic married to indomitable will. It is literally that simple. Nothing interferes. Nothing can sway you from your purpose. Once the decision is made, simply refuse to budge. Refuse to compromise.

And accept that quality long-term results require quality long-term focus. No emotion. No drama. No beating yourself up over small bumps in the road. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the process. This is especially important because you are going to spend far more time on the actual journey than with those all too brief moments of triumph at the end.

Certainly celebrate the moments of triumph when they occur. More importantly, learn from defeats when they happen. In fact, if you are not encountering defeat on a fairly regular basis, you are not trying hard enough. And absolutely refuse to accept less than your best.

Throw out a timeline. It will take what it takes.

If the commitment is to a long-term goal and not to a series of smaller intermediate goals, then only one decision needs to be made and adhered to. Clear, simple, straightforward. Much easier to maintain than having to make small decision after small decision to stay the course when dealing with each step along the way. This provides far too many opportunities to inadvertently drift from your chosen goal. The single decision is one of the most powerful tools in the toolbox.

Important Truth: Growth happens slowly and then all at once.

If you don't learn to recognize your own growth in its most subtle forms, you may become discouraged.

Here are 9 hidden signs of your personal growth:

(bookmark this for the next time you feel stuck)

1. You start embracing the embarrassment of being a beginner.

The only way to accomplish something meaningful is to endure days, weeks, months, or even years of embarrassing failure. The beginner’s embarrassment is actually a positive signal. Embrace that beginner's embarrassment and you will change your life.

2. You stop concerning yourself with how your growth makes others feel.

When you're on your journey to growth, some people won't like it. Your growth, focus, and improvement are exposing something in them: Their insecurities, their fears, their lack of ambition. You can show them empathy and love, but ultimately, you are not responsible for how your journey to self-improvement makes others feel.

3. You start feeling scared of the things you're working on.

One thing I’ve learned: The self-doubt never goes away, you just get a little bit better at moving forward in spite of it. Being strong doesn’t mean masking your self-doubt behind arrogance and bravado. Being strong means opening up about it and continuing to march forward into the unknown.

4. You stop focusing on sounding impressive to others.

We spend far too much time worrying about impressing others and not enough time focusing on impressing ourselves. Focus on the internal, not the external, and everything will fall into place.

5. You stop complaining about things outside of your control.

When you complain, you’re giving too much power to the thing you complain about. Your entire life will change when you take back that power.

6. You start embracing the changes in your identity.

​The Paradox of Change says that the only constant in life is change. Instead of fighting it, start embracing the change—be dynamic, be adaptable. There is no Past You to cling to, there is no Future You to worry about. There is just the Present You to take action.

7. You start embracing being wrong

The most successful people don't have the best answers—they ask the best questions. They realize that finding the truth is much more important than being right. In fact, they legitimately enjoy being wrong. They embrace new information as software updates to their brain.

8. You start setting (and enforcing) healthy boundaries.

Establishing healthy boundaries and getting comfortable with saying NO is a cheat code for life.

9. You start cringing at yourself from six months ago

The "cringe" you feel when you look back at your old output, mindsets, beliefs, behaviors, and actions is a positive indicator. It means you've learned, changed, developed, and grown. If you feel that urge to cringe at where you were, consider it a nice reminder of your progress.

Rule for Life: When in doubt, zoom out.

On a regular basis, zoom out and use these hidden indicators of personal growth to reset on your journey.

Change your perspective, change your life.

[Tyler Todt @tyromper]

1) Prioritize your family above all else.

This means making a CHOICE to
-work less
-watch less TV
-set boundaries with friends

Fill yourself up first.
I wake at 5am to:
-train
-journal
-pray for my family

Then I’m ready to pour into them.

Men,
Lead yourself,
then LEAD them!
