Navy SEAL David Rutherford on Embracing Your Fear–Mission 3 of 5: Retrain Your Brain

“Train to fail. That’s how you learn. That’s how you understand what your limits are.

To embrace that fail. To put your vulnerability out there. Feel what it feels like in your core when you don’t succeed. Because in that moment, you’re rewiring your brain. And that prepares you to embrace fear.

Building on Parts 1 and 2–Mission 1: Search for the Truth and Mission 2: Accept Your Reality–US Navy SEAL David Rutherford gives his next challenge to you in Mission 3: Retrain Your Brain.

Music: Barrellhouse by Chad Holmes
