The 100 Day Challenge Program
Days 50 - 41
Goodness how the time has flewn
*******************************
“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
― Dr. Seuss
Have you been keeping an eye on the date,
yes I'm late
challenge day was yesterday not today,
but today it had to become
because yesterday my computer was home
but I wasn't there to turn it on
50 days have already gone.
That's a month and two thirds if you're still playing along.
And not everyone can or will.
I'm glad that I didn't send the challenge yesterday because I read an article today from Ron White which I want to share part of with you,
Ron Says
"Do you know what a Navy SEAL is? Basically, an Olympic athlete with a gun.
Probably 5% of the world's population has the physical ability to become a SEAL. I would guess that less than 2% have the mental toughness and maybe 1% have both.
When you make the effort to become a SEAL, you enter a program called BUDS. This is a multi-week program designed to get rid of the mentally weak and physically inadequate. A typical BUDS class might have 150 men and only 20 will complete the program. You might ask, 'What happened to the other 130 men? Were they kicked out or asked to leave?' The answer is... neither.
When you enter BUDS it is because you have prepared for this program for years. You don't just decide one day that you are going to become a SEAL. You dream about it and plan for it for years, just to get to this point. Do you know how you leave BUDS? You walk over to a bell and ring it and when you leave it is your decision. You see, 150 men will enter a program that they have prepared for years and then in just a matter of days or weeks, they ring a bell and say to the world, 'I am not cut out for this. I quit. I give up on my dream.' http://www.success.com/ronwhite/ezine/2011/november/rw_159_web.html
WOW
How do you get the mental toughness that says, I can do this, I can anything and everything I put my mind too.
How?
If elite soldiers can't do it, then how on earth can I?
When I saw that figure I didn't focus on the 130 who failed, but the fact that out of each class there will be 20 or so people who WILL make it. They have the desire, they have the ability and they have the mental toughness that says "I am damn good at what I do, and my results speak for themselves"
How about you?
Are you going to give up now and press the bell that allows you to leave the room, or are you going to keep going to the end? Only you can decide.
With many thoughts
