Navy SEALs have a saying. You may find it helpful. When something sucks, they look at each other and say: "FULL BENEFIT" It’s an instant mindset shift. • Hiking and it starts pouring rain? • Driving and your car breaks down? • Working on a project and lost a draft? FULL BENEFIT. *** LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity The message is simple. Every adversity is an opportunity. • To grow • To learn • To evolve • To get stronger • To become better These moments forge us if we let them. The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it. Work through the process. Learn the lessons. Reap the full benefit. *** Follow @TMitrosilis for more content like this.

@TMitrosilis In the army the saying was “this is good training” at least in the 70s
@TMitrosilis Heard one from an ex Seal speaking to our company yesterday, “the only easy day was yesterday”.
@TMitrosilis Difference is military units are paid to train over and over, train as you fight - fight as you train Business and organisations should do more training exercises, often To learn how to deal with complex things, before they happen.
@TMitrosilis Here are a couple more for you from a former Frogman: - Pays to be a winner - The only easy day was yesterday - 2 is 1 and 1 is none - Your never out of the fight
@TMitrosilis Well teddy im not a navy seal, so I’ll stick saying “it is what it is” when adversity hits
