The Spartan Way: Eat Better. Train Better. Think Better. Be Better.

by Joe De Sena

Spartan Core Virtues: Self-Awareness: Know who you are and who you are not. If you don’t, you’ll be confused daily. Commitment: Stick to it because the world is filled with people who don’t. You’re better than that. Passion: If you’re not passionate about what you do, you’re not going to be great at it. Take things seriously and learn to be passionate. Discipline: Set your rules and stick to them. Be disciplined about it. Prioritization: Deal with the important things—important being what you define as important—first. Grit: Get gritty. Break out of your comfort zone. Do the hard, scary shit. Find your passion and persevere. Courage: This is the ability to stay focused and work relentlessly with both intensity and passion through virtually anything, especially through failure. Optimism: See the world as you want it to be, not as it is. Be ever hopeful. Integrity: If you’re not honest with yourself and others, then what are you? Wholeness: Live the life of a complete and whole Spartan.
