 Hey everyone Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense. It's just after Christmas here and I'm out in between lifts on my squats and overhead presses and I've been thinking about this for a while. James Yeager when I took a fighting rifle, a fighting pistol, I can't remember which, he had this article in the back of one of his course materials and it was this article about you know someone out there is training to kill you and they have very little food and they have very simple gear and they sleep very simply and you know he's referring to like some Middle Eastern terrorist right and basically they're training to kill you what are you doing to counteract that what are you doing to prepare when that person comes to try to kill you and sometimes I think that can be a helpful way to look at your life when you look at the discipline of your life and the discipline of your habits right so again it's just after Christmas it's the day of a Christmas when I'm filming this and I'm out here trying to get my lifts in because we got to get back to the grind right and one of the ways that I think about it sometimes is if someone was building a dossier on me right and they were going to present me as the target in front of a group of people what does that dossier say what do I want that dossier to say right don't want to say oh you know well Dylan that wakes up about 10 minutes before he has to go to work and throws his clothes on and rushes out the door and goes to work and comes home and then sits on the couch for the next four hours and eats potato chips and you know he eats like garbage he doesn't really do anything to self-improve himself at all and you know then goes to bed at like 11 30 midnight before he wakes up again to do it all over right or don't want that dossier to say like you know Dylan wakes up early and he's reading or he's dry practicing or he's lifting and he's doing something like everything this guy does is intentional and purposeful and and he's always constantly thinking about this because he's reading these different things and he's really working on his technique and the other day we watched him he dry fired for two hours like that's all he did we sit there and just dry fired perfect his reload that's all he did his reloads for two hours and then you know he goes to work every day and he does very well there and by all accounts is an outstanding employee and then he comes home and he loves his wife well loves his kids well this guy has like deep philosophical moral rooting and what he believes and like he's he's committed man like he's ideologically committed to what he believes and he is like a strong mind and character because he follows through with that he does things and he has really strong friendships across the board with all the people that he's close with and you get my point right like what do you want that dossier to say do you want them to be afraid when they give that briefing this is a guy you do not want to mess with we're considering them extremely hazardous to our team right or do you want them to be like this guy I don't even know why we're doing this guy's a chump right like what do you want to say what do you want that dossier to say so I hope that's helpful I hope that gives you a little bit of motivation take an honest look at your life what does your dossier say right or what do you want it to say and then live accordingly do break gates and endure
