Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet

by Jesse Itzler

Most of my successes in life have come from learning how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.

I don’t think about yesterday. I think about today and getting better.

“When you think you’re done, you’re only at forty percent of what your body is capable of doing. That’s just the limit that we put on ourselves.”

If you want to be pushed to your limits, you have to train to your limits.

Enjoy the Pain I earned it. Now I’m going to enjoy it.

You can get through any workout because everything ends.

Don’t get too comfortable. Ever.

You can always keep going.

Now I finish the first thing on my list with 100 percent focus and then attack the next.

Be ready for anything at any time. —SEAL

Fear is one of the best motivators. Anger is the other.

A thousand push-ups is something I

could never have imagined doing. It just shows that repetition and consistency equal results.

If you don’t challenge yourself, you don’t know yourself.

I don’t stop when I’m tired. I stop when I’m done.

If you can see yourself doing something, you can do it. If you can’t see yourself doing something, usually you can’t achieve it.

I think about what I need to be thinking about.
