Hi everyone, Peter Liciaga here with a Black belt strong lesson.
Ever since I was a young kid, I always admired the American soldier, especially the NAVY SEALS.
Not for the guns, the killing, or the special missions…
I admired them for their mentality, training, and discipline.
Here’s a short excerpt from a keynote commencement speech given by Naval Adm. William H. McRaven on May 17th 2014 to the University of Texas’ graduates. Adm. McCraven is the ninth commander of the United States Special Operations Command and is best known for having planned and directed the raid that led to the death of Osama bin Laden.
I don’t think there’s another brotherhood who pushes their minds, bodies, and spirits further than the SEALs do.
And it’s not by accident or “sheer God-given talent” that these men are so tough and powerful.
The SEAL mindset, is what I will call a “Black Belt Strong Mindset”. It’s a mindset that super-empowers their perspectives, beliefs, and behaviors.
In this short commentary, I am going to share one of the most powerful take-aways from the Adm McCraven’s speech that you can apply into your life to be more fit, successful, powerful, and healthy.
GET UP EARLY AND MAKE YOUR BED EVERY DAY!
Take this Black Belt Strong Mindset to heart.
This Mindset is so powerful and important, it is at the very foundation of my life, which you can learn more about by staying connected with me on my website at www.PeterLiciaga.com or on the social platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.
Share this with your family and friends, because I know these Black Belt Strong Mindset will change lives.
The Black Belt Strong Mindset : GET UP AND MAKE YOUR BED is BOTH literal and symbolic.
Getting up early and making your bed starts your day off with an immediate sense of completion, organization, planning and VICTORY!
It creates momentum for your day. It cultivates the mentality of execution, focus and completion the minute you get up in the morning.
Questions: Are you getting up early and making your bed? or are you getting up late and leaving your bed a mess and setting yourself up for a day of laziness, sloppiness, fatigue, mediocrity and possibly failure?
Let’s Get Real: We are all living our lives either with a messy mindset or a Black Belt Strong, get things done, making things happen mindset.
HOW ARE YOU LIVING YOUR LIFE? MESSY? OR BLACK BELT STRONG?
