Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

The hardest moments of development are during growth spurts. Young athletes lose a lot of the work they’ve done on their mechanics when they grow rapidly. When you see a young athlete start performing poorly out of the blue, measure them and stay patient.
"I jump out of bed every morning and can't wait to get to work!"
Not you don't. Stop it
You can love what you do and still want to go back to sleep
They're not mutually exclusive

“Coach, this is light.” My response used to be, “add more weight.” Now when this happens my response is, “move the bar faster.” Adding more weight isn’t always the answer just because a movement isn’t difficult. #freakfactory
