0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.

0:50So when you made that conscious decision to make that sign and kind of create a mission statement for yourself to recover in a more positive state, what shifted for you and what shifted for the people around you that you weren't claiming to be a victim? Yeah, I mean, it was just nothing but positivity that, and don't get me wrong, I had hard times. I mean, there were definitely days that were hard. I mean, it was not, you know, it's not blue skies and rainbows every day, but it is a choice. It doesn't mean that it's a choice to keep driving forward. And my wife, who I call the long haired admiral, is amazing.

1:29But I, yeah, she's trying to raise three young kids. And really, I felt like this fourth kid, because you know, who was cleaning my wounds, you know, who was grinding up my medicine, who was feeding me through, you know, grinding up food so that I could eat through a stomach too it was my wife i was in a wheelchair when they brought me home i had all this metal and hardware and you know helping me clean this trach that i wore for seven months and two days so the last thing i was going to do was add additional stress to her by complaining or by right you know and not only that i want to set the example to my kids like hey bad things happen to good people but by complaining and being negative you are not helping the situation in any way whatsoever.

2:12And this is something I talk to people about in this idea of leading always. When it sucks the worst, nobody needs to hear about it because all you're doing is pulling others down. And it is a virus. It is a cancer when it occurs because usually when a team is at a point in time where people are starting to turn inward and feel sorry and eat themselves, you're at a tipping point. And this is when a great leader can step up and step out of his own misery to try and lead others forward to push you in the right direction or you will fall in the other direction and and that's I wanted to show my kids and others that I wasn't going to be that guy I was going to continue to drive forward no matter what that's powerful lead yourself lead others lead always for those who are looking to accomplish their goals but they feel stuck in life what would you say were the strategies of the seals in accomplishing your goals at the highest level what are some of the things that you guys did strategy wise um structure and discipline so muscle memory would be the biggest one which is now many of the things that i teach in in both overcome and in my point man for life program and it was something that i was missing i felt like i was missing when I left the military.

3:33And I think a lot of military members feel the same way. The SEAL teams are incredibly effective at what we do for a lot of reasons. One of the reasons is selection. And that selection is, there's a lot of things you have to do to qualify just to get SEAL training. A lot of people don't realize how smart SEALs have to be. So there's a level of intelligence. There's a level of physical ability. There's a level of obviously resiliency that has to come into this. And then we put everybody through this meat grinder called SEAL training that eliminates anybody that doesn't have that ability. And then once we get, you know, once you get to the SEAL team, it's how we train and build teams.

4:15And it's forged through tremendous adversity because our training, even once you get to a team, is designed to be very hard. I mean, And some people would say almost sadistic in the way we would train. We would look for what is the absolute worst case scenario we can think of, and then how do we amplify that just a little more? To make it even worse. To make it even worse. And then train from that. And then train from that. And it was grueling and painful. And sometimes we got guys killed in training. You try to reduce the level of risk, but we also recognize that in order to be ready for combat, we have to train at the highest level.

4:52so and in order to do that it was a lot of repetition and and crawl walk run was the mentality and it was not these big goals of hey I'm going to take down this entire town like you know right off the bat because that's really complicated that starts to get into all kinds of very complicated things it was how do I take down a single room and we walk as we flow through it. And then it became, well, how do I take two rooms? How do I take three rooms? How do I take a house? How do I take a compound of three houses? How do I take a village? So it was a crawl, walk, run mentality all the time. And then structure and discipline and the way we trained, everything was built up that way from shooting.

5:41Oftentimes I was a marksmanship instructor and I've trained some other people to shoot. And they're always, they're a little funny because the very first thing to do when I train anybody to shoot is you shoot at the uh you know at the three yard line a little black dot and we're shooting at the three yard line and they're like hey man this is stupid I'm like no you're not you're learning and the repetition that you need to effectively pull your weapon out and and get a positive sight picture trigger squeeze release that round second sight picture and follow through so that we can do that over and over and over again until, you know, at that, at whatever point, you know, you're shooting from 50, a hundred yards or more.

6:19Yeah. So all of that comes together to create small victories and repetition, structure, and discipline that all come together to be successful.
