Some Ways to Push Yourself and Accomplish More
There are some incredible people on this planet. We constantly hear about people accomplishing incredible physical and mental feats. How do people run for 100 miles straight, or climb up Mount Everest, or spend months in silence in a monastery? A man just ran a marathon distance in less than 2 hours!!
I’ve been reading recently about David Goggins. He’s an ex-Navy Seal that’s gone on to become an extreme ultramarathoner and motivational speaker. He’s pushed himself on from being a mediocre athlete to now being considered one of the “world’s toughest men”. Now I’m not advocating for his lifestyle or for us to accomplish harrowing physical feats. And to be honest, I don’t really admire his overly aggressive methods and promotional style. But we can learn a lot from people who overcome significant challenges to accomplish great things. Sometimes that purpose can be intrinsic. I’m currently re-reading “Into Thin Air” by Jon Krakauer. It’s an account of an ascent on the world’s highest mountain, Everest. Although it’s a tragic account, Krakauer talks a lot about why so many people were willing to take on such great personal risk to try and attain such a difficult goal. For many, it was just to see if they were capable of achieving something that was considered the pinnacle of their sport. They were so driven by this purpose that they were willing to take a great personal, physical and financial risks.
