"And that's what this book is about. It's about learning how to weather the storms, no matter how bad they are, and start amking decisions to improve the situation and get yourself to a better place. And when I say "weather the storm," I don't mean that in a passive way. Sure, there's something to be said for enduring pain, but enduring that pain and not making any changes in your life until the pain subsides is pretty dumb. You don't want to be dumb. Life only gets better when you do a few things: 1. Take accountability for it. It's your fault. 2. Failure is going to happen. When it does, see number 1. If you want to fail less, see numbers 3-7. 3. An ounce of preparation prevents a pound of cure. The best time to start preparing is right now. 4. You cannot mass-produce elite people. They need to be forged from hard experiences. If you want to be one of them, you need to seek these challenges consistently. 5. Take care of yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For some people that means therapy. For some people that means yoga and a cup of tea or fishing with the family. For me that means embracing a constant struggle. Rejecting comfort makes me... well... comfortable. 6. Surround yourself with good people striving to also improve themselves. 7. Build goals and pursue them to the end of the earth. No matter where you are in life, putting yourself on this path will change everything."
