Building resilience! No excuses! | Kevin Brewer | Rise Again From The Struggle

Well, I completed the task. I pushed myself this weekend and did way more than I thought I could do.

I saved my run today for the end, too. I knew I would be sore, tired, and not wanting to run.

But I finished strong. Three miles in under 30 minutes. My legs hurt. My body was tired. My mind wanted to give up and just relax.

That's why I did this. I wanted to confront the demons that would crop up as my body was wearing down.

I know I'll hear them chirping next weekend. I know I'll be tired and sore. I know I'll need to talk to myself more than I listen to myself.

You need to build these skills before they count, though. Don't leave it to chance.

That's the key. These are skills you can build. You can learn to overcome your demons. But, it takes hard work and discipline. There's no shortcuts. There's no hacks.

No excuses!
