Join 📚 Armand's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
I loved waking up at 5 a.m. and starting work with three hours of cardio already in the bank while most of my teammates hadn’t even finished their coffee. It gave me a mental edge, a better sense of self-awareness, and a ton of self-confidence, which made me a better SEAL instructor. That’s what getting up at the ass crack of dawn and putting out will do for you. It makes you better in all facets of your life.

Evolution can only happen if risk of extinction is present. Further, There is no evolution without skin in the game.

On the fourth day of sesshin as we sat with our painful legs, aching backs, hopes, and doubts about whether it was worth it, Suzuki Roshi began his talk by saying slowly, “The problems you are now experiencing…” “Will go away,” we were sure he was going to say. “…will continue for the rest of your life,” he concluded. The way he said it, we all laughed.
