Train Through the Resistance #003

You don’t get stronger by staying comfortable. Resistance builds strength — in your body, your mind and your spirit.

Personal Note:

When I was a Marine, I trained beyond required hours — empty-hand disciplines like Karate, Kenpo, Judo and Jiu-Jitsu.

One time, sparring in the weight room with twin Puerto Rican black belts from New York — scrappy and sharp — I bowed off the mat, walked out, threw up… then came back in, bowed on and kept going.

Nobody said anything — but every Marine saw it.

That unspoken “Hell yeah” from the room? It wasn’t about winning. It was about not quitting.

Mission:

Pick one hard thing today — and do it anyway.

– Cold shower

– Skip a comfort

– Extra workout

– Fast from something weakening you

Scripture for Today:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time…

but it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace.

Hebrews 12:11

Reflection:

– Where am I letting comfort weaken me?

– Where do I need to keep showing up even when it’s hard?

Reminder:

You don’t rise to the occasion.

You fall to your level of training.
