Life’s Tough Lessons
I'm often reminded of something my father once said: "Expect life to be hard." This simple advice has been a guiding principle for me through many ups and downs.
It's a mindset that prepares you for the inevitable challenges life will throw your way. It helps you power through the hard times and makes you appreciate the good times.
Life has thrown me a few curveballs, I’m sure it has thrown you some as well. Lately, my family and I have been navigating some tough personal challenges. Different from my daughter's Leukemia and unlike COVID shutting down our gyms. This one is testing my strength and resilience but forcing me to level up and use the skills I have acquired over the years. I plan to share more of this journey in the future.
We are all battling something, so I share this to make sure you know that you are not alone.
I also mention this because it underscores why I TRAIN HARD. What I talk about in these newsletters and on the podcast is not just about physical fitness, performance on the mats, training for the Tactical Games, or achieving personal bests; it's about preparing for life's most brutal hits.
My discipline, consistency, and hard work aren't just about personal achievement; they're about ensuring I can provide for my family and stand there as a strong shoulder for them to lean on when they need it most.
This approach — training in the good times to prepare for the bad, has been my lifeboat in the stormiest of seas. And it's a strategy I encourage you all to consider and hopefully adopt.
Life will test you. It will push you to your limits and then some. But with preparation, resilience, and a mindset ready for battle, you can face these challenges head-on because otherwise, what choice do you really have?
My dad always told me that I should expect life to be hard. He was right, and that is why I do everything that I do.
TRAIN HARD.
P.S. We are doing our first “Live with Jason and Gabe” this Tuesday, March 5th, at 4 pm PST.
This will be a live, interactive call open to anyone on the TRAIN HARD App. It is also just the first of many special events and access reserved exclusively for everyone on our App, doing the work to become capable human beings, protectors, and providers.
You will be able to ask questions, get in on the conversation, and connect with like-minded people from all over the world.
If you are an App subscriber, mark your calendars, and then please look out for an email from the team later this week with details on how to access the call.
And if you still have not checked out the TRAIN HARD App, now is the time. I hope to see everyone on Tuesday!
YOU ARE THE AVERAGE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH.
Share this knowledge with those in your life who are also driven to TRAIN, PROTECT, PROVIDE.
Together, we can build a brighter future by helping each other become the best version of ourselves.
