It was freezing outside when I woke up this morning to hit my commitments with workout training for 20X. That’s when I realized I’ve become soft living here in California when it comes to weather.
I woke up at 4:00 AM and immediately had to push beyond the comfort of my threshold of working out in pleasant weather.
I did some running outside as well as lifted some weights inside. Normally I would love to keep my workouts inside with this type of weather, but I’m not an average person.
Average people only do the work when it’s convenient and have reached their threshold.
The ONLY way you can expand your power is through your ability to persist in expanding your capacity.
I’m preparing for 20X, so I MUST push past the threshold; it’s the ONLY way to increase my power.
Push past the comforts and beyond the pain. Run longer. Lift heavier weights. If the weather isn’t ideal, dress appropriately and get yourself in the Gap of what your stories are telling you as you push beyond what you think you’re capable of doing right now.
All great people have had to do this, whether it’s their physical, spiritual, mental or emotional capacity.
Withstand past what is comfortable if you want to achieve greatness as well.
Your capacity = power
Ask yourself:
* Where do I hit my threshold and quit?
* Do I have the ability to endure?
* How can I increase my capacity when I decide to push beyond the threshold?
If you want to expand beyond your threshold, you’re going to have to step beyond the threshold across the board in your body and spirituality, with your wife and family.
