I love this scene from FACING THE GIANTS
in fact eery time I see this scene I have to watch it in full. . .
I know what’s going to happen
I know what he’s going to say
but I still have to watch it to
REMIND ME
to
REMIND OTHERS
when we’re blind to what we can’t do
our eyes are open to what we can;
that’s there’s nothing that can’t be accomplished
when we don’t realize what can be;
that if nobody ever told you,
you couldn’t
would anybody be surprised
with what could. . .
I recently read that the Navy SEALS have this rule called the
40% RULE. . .
Your Brain stops you at 40% of your capability because it feels pain and isn’t comfortable;
THAT extra 60% can go a very long way
but you have to
D O
instead of
T H I N K
YOU’LL ALWAYS FIND ONE
What a great start to the week
Here’s your pledge:
DO JUST ONE THING
YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD
(and if you want to show off. . .
DO IT BLINDFOLDED)
Oh yeah. . .
One of my most favorite parts of the clips
is when it’s all over and the Assistant Coach yells:
“WHO’S NEXT?”
I needed to learn of that 40% Rule. Thank you for finding and sharing it in this post. That 40% gets me each track workout–yes, as insane as it sounds, I am doing speedwork, albeit on legs and in the body of a 64-year-old–as I am afraid to push myself for fear of blowing something out.
You, sir, own that 40% Rule…TRUTH? No matter how much our bodies continue to breakdown and betray us, we can always give 100% of what remains in and of us; obviously the biggest question is: WILL WE? Thanks for you honest comments. Run on, Brother
