Living with a SEAL review
Just listened to the most recent podcast with Jesse Itzler a few days ago. Decided to order his book "Living with a SEAL." It came in the mail last night and I was able to knock out about 70 pages before bed and finished it up today. I'm not even sure I have the words. I couldn't put it down. Just awesome. It's amazing how our mind works and how we put limiting beliefs on what we can accomplish and what our bodies are capable of. It was funny, refreshing and makes you take a serious look at yourself and all the BS reasons we give for not doing what we should be doing. "It's too cold" or "it's too late" or "I'm busy now" are all things that just didn't fly in this book. I envy the spirit and mental toughness that some people have and how they just will themselves to accomplish their goals. I think most people struggle with "living their best life" and I'm certainly no different. Life seems to have a way of getting in the way of what we really should be doing (our One Thing). It's been a focus of mine recently to really narrow down on how I feel and what I want to accomplish. I'm still trying to put together my goals for the next year actually because I'm trying to expand my comfort zone. It's books like this and the inner reflection that occurs after is what's truly inspiring to me. Just wanted to share with you all.

@Brian Ellis...yeah I've seen a number of his motivational videos on youtube. His name is David Goggins. About halfway through the book I started putting it together that it was the same guy. They've got a "revealed" chapter at the end that confirms this and tells more of his story. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to check it out.
@Jay Hinrichs...the workouts are probably the most eye opening part of the book, but I think the thing that most of us on this site can take away is just the mental toughness and getting outside of your comfort zone. Getting comfortable being uncomfortable. Those are skills at any age. Thanks for commenting.
