I ran a 100 KM Stadium Run(250 laps of 400 meters) on 24th January. My goal was to run this race under 7 hours & 30 minutes but my finish time was 9:15. I fucked it up big time but I have learnt a couple of things which I will be applying on 7th March as I am planning to again run this same distance, same format at same venue and will try to take a bit of risk in the first half. I will put every bit of effort to run it under 7:30 mark.
The only point is people are like we are earning and doing chores. This is enough of work.
Why devote our precious time and energy to pursue these things which don't even have monetary benefit?
We need to be totally present & not keep going on total automation. As Ellen Langer puts emphasis on the importance & significance of Mindfulness over the last 4-5 decades. I have read Lisa Feldman Barret's book and listened to her on a lot of podcasts as well getting insights about how our emotions are formed and how it gets shown in the present and future because of the past experiences.
But the point is I feel like most of the people aren't self aware. they don't know about cognitive biases, they don't know about how emotions are formed and then how to emotionally regulate as well.
Most of the people's pyramid's foundation is flawed which is layered under the biases and they see the distorted reality for which they are not able to see the pitfalls in their own thinking and which has been conditioned because of the immediate environment & what they consume in terms of content on all levels. I am yet to see a single people around me who is well aware of their emotions, biases and have Extreme Ownership trait apply in their own lives. Because of their cognition they view other people's lives as reality but it is a lot of distorted reality and there are living in somewhat not reality.
As Anaïs Nin said- We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are.
Really solid headline 👏
Great read! And love the title 👊🏼
Steve, I’ve always loved your work (honest, direct, courageous). Been pulling a lot of it for my own work with athletes and performers..
And I love how supportive you are of your friend, Brad. Purchased The Way of Excellence (I’ll put it next to Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game).
Thanks so much. So glad you’ve found it valuable and thanks for supporting Brad! I know it will mean a lot.
👏👏👏

Golden read
Don’t tell me I have to branch out beyond my phone?!
Discomfort will unlock new ways of thinking that you didn’t think were possible. For yourself.
