Reflection: What’s your rate of growth?
“You can’t get better fighting someone who’s worse than you”
We don’t know what greatness we are capable of until we’re tested. The article linked below suggest a simple formula:
“The magnitude of the challenge x Your intensity = Rate of Growth”
Not that it’s scientific or anything, but an interesting idea to gauge where you are. Several of our pax are working for BRR (big challenge + big intensity). Growth opportunity for sure. Many are setting personal records for consistent days posting. What are the challenges you are setting for yourself? Link attached is a great read by Eric Greitens; a Navy Seal, Rhodes Scholar, boxing champion and humanitarian leader.

Goodwrench crushes every sprint #wheels-stamina-go

7 really is the half point of a 10 rung ladder – Cheetah math verified
