What separates the relentless from the weak is that the relentless welcome discipline. They find comfort in the familiarity of a physical challenge. Rather than griping about frustrations or waiting for them to pass, theyll channel their energy into something productive. And by doing so, they reap the rewards: A stronger will, a better body, and a job well done. Stressful careers, social drama, tragic losses, moves, divorces, or just a vague sense of inadequacy – theres not a lot thatll knock a relentless person off his or her game plan. They sweat, they grind, they push themselves, they lose their breath, and they focus. And when its all over theyve cleared away enough mental fog to see the more optimistic side of whatever theyre facing. Working hard when life gets hard makes people more resilient. Complaining, wallowing in self-pity, and blaming others in the face of difficulty gets people addicted to victimhood. And that adopted attitude of weakness can spread like a cancer. It causes learned helplessness and habitual pussification. When life gets hard, work hard. Fight back, kick your own ass before anyone else has the chance – youll steal their power. Can you think of a better remedy when lifes circumstances have you feeling powerless? And once the dust settles with tough issues, the relentless find it even easier to double down. Their inner dialogue tells them that if they were able to muster up discipline during the hard times then they sure as hell cant relinquish their power when life gets smoother.
