Stoic thought of the day:

“If thy faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.” - Proverbs 24:10

“It’s your reaction to adversity, not adversity itself that determines how your life’s story will develop.”- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

"Resilience is knowing that you are the only one that has the power and the responsibility to pick yourself up."― Mary Holloway

“Persistence and resilience only come from having been given the chance to work through difficult problems.”- Gever Tulley

“My scars remind me that I did indeed survive my deepest wounds.”- Steve Goodier

“Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou will always look.” - Marcus Aurelius

We were already 11 hours deep. 11 hours into a 12 hour endurance event. We had been pushed by the Krypteia and by each other during the cold and blackness of night. We had done countless sandbag laps, hours of PT and the seemingly endless Burpee mile and now, the Krypteia were encouraging us to quit. They informed us that we were going on a “hike” fully rucked (roughly 60-70 pounds) and with our filled sandbags (60 pounds). They broke us into teams and made it clear that if we got out on the hike and could not make it back the whole team would fail, “So if there is any doubt, you should just quit now.” Upon their declaration, the question that I have struggled with my whole life echoed in my head: Am I enough? I walked to our team leader and told him I was unsure if I could make it, “I am almost broken” I said. His response was perfect: “We are all almost broken, ruck up!” The mere understanding that we were all suffering made my resolution stiffen, I would not let my team down and maybe more importantly, I would not let myself down. Far to often in our lives we quit at the exact moment that we should rage against our weakness.

“The one thing I dread: Not to be worthy of my sufferings.” - Dostoevski

Stoic thought of the day:

“Weakness is a choice when strength is available.”- Jocko Willink

“Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret.”- Jim Rohm

“The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about.”- Anonymous

How many times did I barely put up a fight? The cravings would come and quickly I “tired” and almost willfully gave in. My weakness was so pronounced it was my default mode. I allowed myself to become truly pathetic: a city with no walls. The mirror stared back hard and in some moment of disgust I decided to try again. It wasn’t some glorious moment where the sun shined and angels sang, it was a heavy sigh and shaky, unstable step forward. Hell, at first it was just learning to stand again. No excusing, no rationalization just the acceptance of what I had allowed. Then the torturous first step forward: step, steady myself, breath, repeat. There is no perfect moment to change , just this moment.

Hold the line.
