Shared a brief story about David Goggins, a super athlete, when he was overweight and out of shape. One night he was eating doughnuts on his couch when he saw an ad for the Navy Seals and wondered how it would feel to be like them. Suddenly, he had an epiphany: not only would he join up, but, he said to himself: "I am DONE seeking purpose in comfort." In other words, no longer would he seek out comfort, but discomfort, since no one ever accomplished anything great by trying to be comfortable.

We recalled the Blue Pill or Red Pill Moment from the movie "The Matrix" (https://youtu.be/zE7PKRjrid4). The Blue Pill is the choice of the easy, false life society would have us live. The Red Pill is the choice of the hard, true life of the high impact man (HIM).
The challenge is to choose the Red Pill and to keep taking it every day: The Daily Red Pill or DRP. This is how we fight back at what is trying to drag us down in life.

Many great people have embraced discomfort to achieve success. Tony Robbins starts each day by jumping full body into a tub of ice water. We don't have to get a tub of ice water, but getting up early and coming out in the dark, cold morning for a beat down is equivalent. It is uncomfortable to the extreme, and it is a great way to train your brain to accept discomfort to achieve success.
