The Way of the SEAL by Mark Divine

Chapter 1: Establish Your Set Point

Read that chapter to take a deep dive into how you can utilize controlling your attention and developing emotional resilience.

Here are some interesting and useful points we cover from the chapter:

Make a stand
Find your purpose
Embrace Risk, loss & failure

If you don’t establish your set point, and don’t connect every action to it so you can answer, “Why am I doing this?” in the face of great personal risk, then you can easily be derailed by circumstances or other people’s desires for you.

Mark is a multiple Blackbelt in different Karate styles. Heavily influenced by that Warrior Mindset and priciples.

“Destiny favors the prepared in mind, body and spirit”

Most of us don’t take the time to think deeply about our personal ethos. Your stand (or ethos) is the articulation of your character, which guides your behavior.
