Listen "049. TGT: Adversity is Just a Test _ Darren Terry"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 49 from The Grit Theory. If you want to obtain the gold that is in this conversation, there is only one way. Jump in and hold on. Darren’s self-proclamation preparing for the Black Toe Run: “Your best efforts don't warrant recognition. Your entitled mind will result in a broken mind. You must transcend your already heightened mindset if you have one, but even this probably won't be enough, because others will have reached that level too. Even if you manage to win, you don't deserve shit other than personal gain. No money, no award ceremony. Because victory here is not meant to be a finish line. This is purely a showcase of your inhumane ability to endure. You will hurt, you will continue to hurt, then you will hurt so much more. You will be forced to find your true potential, or the warm fire will find you. Comfort has no place here. Unless your comfort is the discomfort. Anything short of excellence will be defeat and even excellence will probably result in injury. In short, the Black Toe Run always wins. However, if you choose to endure, if you embody everything this race represents, you will leave forever changed, and maybe... just maybe, a champion.”--- Did today’s conversation challenge you?
