COT:
Everybody has a superpower. My daughter’s superpower is being hampered by lack of execution and time mgt, which is what I’m good at. She’s got to learn that lesson on her own and it’s a tough pill for me to swallow. I’ve been coping by “food therapy” and praying. If anyone is going through something difficult, I will be happy to eat or drink with you or pray with you.

COT:
Sharing mental toughness from David Goggins, 40% Rule. We’re all wired the same, Flee or Fight, it’s how our brain reacts to tough or scary situations. Goggins talks about pushing your limits, finding where your mind says quit, that’s when you hit your 40%. Then it’s up to you to push further, there’s still another 60% your body can go, it’s just our mind holding us back. Continue to push yourself, find your 40%, then push a bit further. That moves your quitting point forward and we grow.

YHC spoke about advice his father gave while starting professional career that adaptability is perhaps the most important skill to develop. YHC shared story of adapting to new geographic regions…Jersey now NOVA, etc and finding the things that unite us rather than divides us. Finding the best in people.

So….just as we develop muscles through beatdowns…let’s all develop the skills of adaptability.

Thanks for joining this Monday morning!
