The author of The Unshakeable Self describes being sick and vomiting on a mountain but refusing to quit, arguing most people choose comfort over the hard work that builds real strength.
This is where you have to decide, who do you really want to become? The Unshakeable Self was somebody who said, this is not enough for me. The Unshakeable Self was written, the IGNITE program was created because I wanted more when life kicked me in the gut. I can promise you, there's not a person on this call right here that has come close to the financial, mental, emotional devastation as I have. And I have witnesses on this call that will test. You guys don't have a clue what broke is like. You don't have a clue what hardship is like. You don't have a clue what perseverance really feels like. You don't. I've never been this direct and I've never been this harsh, but I realized something this weekend on that mountain. I was sick. I'm sitting looking over a half a mile to a mile range looking at elk, throwing up. It's 36 to 45 degrees. I've got a fever and I'm miserable. But see, I wasn't ever going to take myself out of the game. I wasn't ever going to just lay there and say, well, poor me, I'm sick. I should have the right to lay here in bed. You have the right to do whatever you want. But see, people will make choices that are easy. People will make choices because that's their comfort level. People make choices because you know what? It's too damn hard to be successful.
