Was knocking out a No Filter Network preview show with mental performance guru Brian Cain when he delivered some wisdom that each and every one of us needs to hear RIGHT NOW… So much so that I took the liberty to fire out the video because there was no doubt in my mind it had the ability to immediately, positively impact somebody’s life…
To give you guys a brief background, Cain and I became friends when he was looking for some guidance into the ultra endurance world & reached out to me a few years back… Our relationship continued to grow as the suffer sessions piled up and I couldn’t think of a better dude to be the official mental performance ambassador to No Filter Network.
The question I asked Cain during the real time live streaming interactive session was what are the lessons he has learned since diving into the ultra endurance world…
Cain started with “this too shall pass.” A phrase we have all heard and is as relevant now as ever before… No matter how bad things may seem, at some point, they will dissipate and so long as you are reading this Daily Hustle, you have a lot to be grateful for because life is still happening…
The next thing Cain divulged was “talk to yourself, don’t listen.” No matter who we are, we have all been infiltrated with negativity and doubt at some point. If we sit back and constantly listen to the cynic, we will inevitably be fucked… Yet when we counter the pessimistic voices with inspirational, encouraging and positive self talk, we are the ones who will control our destiny…
Lastly, Cain referenced his first 100-mile race and how he got through the last 20 miles when he felt there was almost no way to go on… Cain was on a sidewalk at mile 80 and would pick a crack just a few feet in front of him and use that as the next goal destination. Instead of focusing on the finish, he focused on the small victories that would eventually lead him there with just one thought in his mind…
“GET TO THE NEXT CRACK!”
