What does resilience really mean, and how can you become resilient in the face of adversity?

In this episode, coach Travis Ramsey shares lessons he learned through Special Forces training – including why people fail at being resilient, how to become a master of something, and how to become deeply rooted and live your life so that the outcome doesn’t matter.

Listening to this episode will change the way you look at life!

  • Years ago, Travis went through the selection program for the Army Special Forces and Green Berets – of the 200+ people who started, only 26 remained until the end.
  • Fascinated by what made this diverse group of people succeed, Travis dove into researching their common traits and unique characteristics.
  • “Be here now” is a key principle to keep in mind because the present is rarely so unbearable that you can’t go on.
  • Think about it. It’s winter and it’s cold. How would you feel about the idea of coping with two more months of that weather? And how would you feel if you knew that the nicer  weather would start tomorrow?
  • The key is to be really focused on the present and move forward one step at a time.
  • If you think about it, our suffering is rarely about now. Usually thoughts of the future or past – and not of the present – are what negatively affect us.
