So basically what he's saying is to get out of your comfort zone, I definitely agree with what he's saying. If you want to be successful in anything you have to get out of your comfort zone.

Thankyou man, I've been wanting to be a navy seal myself. My dad is good friends with a navy seal and he has been training me. Something I've been scared of is sky diving but I know I have to do it if I wanna succeed

Clint Emerson has taught me some very valuable lessons, all in under 10 minutes

I'm s big guy at 6'1", 260 pounds.
Now and then I walk over an unused railroad trestle that crosses over Soquel Creek in Capitola. There are places where existing plywood is split. Jr. High kids walk across this every school day but not heavyweights such as myself. My adrenaline really gets pumping as I walk on these creaky ass beams. Feel like a million bucks after that 50 yard walk though.

Getting my ass handed to me in a 15' inflatable sailing kayak, contending with passing motorboats and unfavorable wind & tide, that was a great day on Jamaica Bay!  Everything definitely went wrong, even lost my paddle at one point, only to see it floating right next to my "boat" 15 minutes later!  I survived.  Small sailboats are great.

Why are there so many thoughtless comments? Shouldn't people who are interested in bussiness be sharper?

I half agree in what he is saying. but everybody is different, and we are not all highly trained navy seals . sure push the envelope a little every now and then, but be aware of what you are doing . know your capabilities .

Dudes a Navy SEAL and is probably used to getting shot at and being in fire fights on the regular and says that getting in a boxing ring with a bigger dude puts him out of his comfort zone? Yeah ok buddy

I always test my will everyday in school

[brandonrager]

Do this stuff Vitality Pro is doing. It will test you

Think for a second: what is better than competition? Did you Enough....? Got it? Better than competition is cooperation. Better than "being better than the other" is "helping the other to become better". Better than prove yourself something is to know already you are good and you have nothing to prove yourself.
In one word: your whole system, your whole way of thinking is totally wrong. Stop trying to give suggestions and think there are other (better) ways to live your life.
