Blood, Sweat and Tears

The other day when I was working out at the Equinox of Greenwich I had the privilege to speak with an off duty Navy Seal. The first thing you recognize about someone who is in any form of military is their presence and quiet confidence.  Men and women in service understand the principles of humility and professionalism.  Its the idea of doing your job in a professional manner.  This navy seal talked to me about how mentally tough you have to be to make it through training.  Being mentally tough is something we can translate into all areas of life no matter what your lifestyle or profession is.  If you want to be physically fit, then you know that you are going to have to push your mental threshold far enough to make it through pain periods in order to see results and grow.  

Blood, sweat and tears are what the Navy seal explained to me.  It's the sacrifice you make not just in your own mind and self but what you do for the others surrounding you and for your family.  Nothing great is ever just handed to you.  You have to be willing to work hard for your goals and to achieve your dreams.  Don't be afraid of pain and failure, its a part of the growing process and it makes us stronger people.  Remember that you have to be willing to fail in order to make strides in your journey.
