CoT Disclaimer:
We close this thing, the circle of trust, with a brief “shout-out” or prayer or moment of silence – that’s up to the leader. F3 is open to men of all faiths and no faith, and we respect and encourage the moments of openness and honesty of our brothers. We do it because we are thankful for the opportunity to come together and build ourselves into better men and because the vocal and corporate expression of that gratitude builds a strong community.
Mind over matter – if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter … Turning a negative into a positive
Suddenly, I had a thought that immediately changed the way I felt, that made me forget about the bruises and the exhaustion. I even let out a small chuckle. I realized that the SEAL instructors who were training me hadn’t actually done anything to me.
They hadn’t laid a single hand on me, or forced me to do any of those sprints and lunges. They hadn’t stopped me from going to bed. They hadn’t forced me out of bed for a timed 4-mile run in the soft sand. All they did was tell me what they wanted me to do in order for me to become a SEAL. I had done all those things to myself and, more importantly, by myself. From that day on, in the two years it takes to become qualified as an operational SEAL, I continued to push myself well beyond my perceived limits, getting stronger both physically and mentally. The SEAL instructors had become like a set of braces for me, allowing me to build my mind over matter strength.
Where does this frame of mind come from? It comes from believing in a higher purpose, focusing on our objective, and having a level of passion for something beyond reason.
