The Prepper Broadcasting Network - Surviving America 048: On the Other Side of Quit

Episode Date: August 20, 2025

A good life happens on the other side of quit. This is a message from a quitter. For many, many years, I was the type of guy to throw the towel in. Now, I see so many people with issues and excuses that I thought it time to talk about life on the other side of quit.I learned this through fitness but it applies to everything and there is an opportunity to exist beyond the QUIT in so much of what we do each day. Take notes. You don't need special powers for this. It's just a lifestyle.Build Your Medical Cachehttps://pbnfamily.com/build-your-medical-cache/www.pbnfamily.comwww.limatangosurvival.comwww.faradaycontainers.comwww.packfreshusa.com

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil. The future has already arrived. years ago when he burst onto the scene and the claim was that most people quit at 40%. And I, there are a bunch of quotes that come and go in your life, you know, some that change it in ways that are expected, some that are unexpected. Most of the time we forget them. You know what I mean? Most of the time we forget the things that really come into our life and change us. The mentalities, the quotations, the events, right? Most of them. Some, you know, they stand up forever.

But the idea that most people quit at 40% when I heard that from David Goggins and started to apply that to my life, it was a game changer. You know, it really, it really was a game changer. And I think it's, there's no measurable, right? There's no data to back it up. But it was good enough. It was good enough for me. And it was good enough for me to look around the society and go,

I see a lot of people quitting. I see a lot of people tapping out to, you know, any variety of things. And to be able to sort of build that into my life at that time because I had a son, I was either having my second son or, you know, whatever the situation. We were close. Nine years ago, my son is nine now. And I think it was probably about nine years ago. You know, we were getting ready to hit a whole new level.

of striving a whole new level of of struggle you know what life is with kids you know what life is you know trying to make a living and trying to make it work as an entrepreneur which is you know for some people it's very easy a lot the majority of entrepreneurs you hear a person they say oh I own a business you think man they must be loaded they they must be rich and have no worries at all you know being a business owner's tough So at that critical moment in time, what was great about it was 40% of most people quit at 40% was highly applicable and still is to this day, right? It's highly applicable to yourself. It costs no money.

One of the things I love about the really sort of epic changes that have happened in my life is there, there are almost always things that really have no bearing on investment, finance, whatever. You know, it's either always heart or mind sort of mentality changes. And on today's show, I just want to talk about life on the other side of quit, you know. And if you don't think it's preper related, survival related, you know, your homestead related, it's everything. It's everything. We all have a moment in the day when you know it's over. I've done all I can do now. My eyes are getting heavy.

I'm falling asleep. And that's the end. It's the end of the day for me. you know or we have a moment where we're the face is a glow in the front of this thing right and and you're going to pass out doing that but we all have a moment when we tap and then we fall asleep and that's that's the day do you know what i mean every bit of time that you play on the other side of quit gives you more you know in my show description below i went as far as to say that and I believe this wholeheartedly guys like a good life does not happen by accident at least

I never met anybody who's living a good life by accident you know you're sitting there and you're wondering to yourself like why can't I get it together why do I always struggle you know women are horrible men are horrible they can't get ahead a good life happens on the other side of quit. That's where the good life is. The good life is hidden on the other side of quit, you know? And if you don't know what I mean by the other side of quit, just go run five miles, you know, or make an attempt at running three miles, whatever. It's not all in the world of fitness either, by the way. But I'm giving you sort of the quickest way in and out. Because you'll hit two miles three miles something along those lines you're going to hit a certain point during

a run like that well your mind and your body are both going to start to tell you it's quitting time now's the time to quit let's throw in the towel this is a little much you know what i mean this this this is very uncomfortable we're having trouble breathing we're having trouble uh getting blood to where we need to get blood to like this is hard this is a hard thing we're doing and we want to quit right Now, I like this world, and I want you to learn how to like this world also. This world beyond quit, this world on the other side of quit. You know, it happens all the time. It happens in long, long meetings.

It happens sometimes in long conversations. It happens at some point during your workday. At some point during your work day, you check out. You check out for a little bit or you check out for the day or whatever the situation. You quit. or you bite down because reports do today, you know, like it's my job, I got to get it done. And then you make that transition on the other side, over to the other side to quit, over to the other side of my mind and my body both want me to quit. The easiest way to convey it is in that sort of physical fitness realm because it's so clear, it's so apparent, it's so mean and nasty, you know?

it's so easy to be working out and what happens with me i don't know if it happens with you but and this happens in all aspects of the quit what happens in all aspects of the quitting mind is you start making excuses you start making excuses the excuses come immediately oh you know what i shouldn't do that today because of this oh you know what i shouldn't run one of the biggest ones that always gets me is because this is how it works, right? I have a set amount of running I'm going to do. Maybe it's two laps around this park that I run. Maybe it's five miles. All along that run, the moment things start to get a little hard. My mind and my body will both start doing this. Well, you know, you worked out pretty hard yesterday. Well, you know what? Maybe just go up here

and turn around you know one of my runs is a straight sorry I have to exterminate this ant just an ant crawling on my wall anyhow I do a five mile run that's straight out and straight back there's a lot of perpendicular streets along the way good morning Jordan

a lot of times I'll hit those certain streets I'll see that side street coming and it sucks and it's hot, you know, and it's like, I could turn around here. I could turn around here, man. Oh, thanks, Schaefer. I appreciate that. Yeah, my hair is always crazy.

So you can hit that mark. You could turn around. You know what I mean? And that could be, you still have a great workout. You just have to recognize that when those excuses are coming, that's the quitting voice. That's the quit. And to get beyond the quit. you have to go further and the good life is waiting beyond the quit that's where the good life

happens that is where the good life happens you when you peel yourself up off of the floor you peel yourself up out of the bed right and you go a little further or it's the end of the day and you push a little further that's where it is man that's where it all exists everybody that I know who's living their dreams who has and I don't even mean like in a big way in a big incredible you know Instagram way I'm talking about people who are doing the things that they want to do living happily that kind of stuff and they all spend time on the other side of quit right the good life is not buried in the couch cushions the good life is not under the comfy blankets and in the pillows it's not

nice to have that portion in your day, right? It's a nice thing to do. But the reality is, man, the good life happens on the other side of quit. So most people quit at 40%, right? That's the claim that David Goggins made all those years ago, and it really, really pushed me beyond that sort of quitting mentality, okay? Not that I had necessarily a quitting mentality at that moment in time, but it gave me the ability to get even further on the other side to quit, right? Because quitting is a choice until something breaks or gives out, right? Like it's, but for the most part and for most of what you're doing, quitting is just this choice that you make. Everyone has limits, but so I started to think about that.

If most people quit at 40%, what are we missing? You know what I mean? What's missing in that mentality? Because you can take that mentality and you can grind yourself down to nothing. I'm never going to quit. I'm never going to stop. I'm never going to this. I'm never going to that.

And what will really happen to that to you if you live in that mentality exclusively and you don't give yourself the rest, you don't give yourself the recovery time. I'm not talking just physical fitness now. I'm talking life in general. You know, I'm going to work the most hours. I'm going to be the most productive. I'm going to, you know, bab, blah, blah, blah, blah. You'll just burn out.

You know what I mean? You'll burn out. And it doesn't matter how cool that sounds anymore. Most people quit at 40%. Well, I'm going to give 100% on every, you know, you'll burn out. You'll burn out on something. Maybe you don't burn out on everything. Maybe burn out on the relationship.

Maybe burn out on the job. Maybe burn out on the kids. Maybe whatever it is. You'll burn out because that's just the nature of the beast, right? It's the nature of the human body and mind. So I started thinking, what can you add to that? that is another cautionary sort of phrase right so most people quit at 40 percent the other thing is help the thing that i struggled with for years help asking people for help because if you're one

of these people that looks at a quote like most people quit at 40 percent and you're like not me not me i'm going to go all the way right then you wind up being one of those people that's also like i don't want I don't want to get help. I don't want to ask anybody for help. I don't need help. Whatever the situation is. And that's, that sets you back. That sets you back also. So most people quit at 40% and most people don't ask for help till they're about to quit. That's my addition. That's my addition to that incredible claim, right? The Goggins claim, most people quit at 40%. My addition most people don't get help until they're about to quit and you should get help when you're about 50% right when you're about 50% maxed is when you should say i need i need a hand you

know what i mean i need somebody to help me here this is rough this is brutal i'm struggling i'm drowning here it's not working out right so i want to talk about existing on the other side of quit on the other side of this next segment because it's not as hard as you think. You don't have to spend as much time in hell as you think. You know what I mean? But you do have to go to the other side. You have to go to the other side, right? Jordan and chats is so I'm not supposed to push it until I start crying. Yeah. That usually means you going too far. But, you know, we all get there, right? We all get there from time to time. It's an acquired skill.

What I would say, though, Jordan, is be grateful that you have the willpower to push it to the point of tears. Because that's a magnificent thing in and of itself. It is. It is. You look at the lackluster performances in the world today. Guys, guys, I mean, look, it's brutal. The retail space in the U.S. face-to-face retail space in the U.S.

It's a nightmare. It is an absolute, the pacing, the pacing, okay? And I know this is not a southern thing. It's not a northern southern thing. I came down to Virginia in 2009. I knew it was going to be slow, right? Er. But it's nicer, too.

It's a balance, right? Up north, nobody's got time for you, but they're fast and they do it right. You know what I mean? they don't want to they you know what i mean it's they're almost aggravated at your existence but you can tolerate it because you're going to get what you want exactly the way you want and you're going to get it fast you know what i mean you go into a hoagie shop you order you're crazy whatever it is that you want and boom boom boom it's coming out it's coming out quick it's going to be

the best damn hoagie ever had and that's it you're going to be on your way right um i when i came down here. I said, all right, we're moving to the south. Jimbo. It's going to be a little slower. It's going to be a little sweeter. And that's what it was for a long time. Post-COVID, the retail world, like, you get on yourself and you're like, I shouldn't order so much stuff online. You know what I mean? I order a lot of stuff online. I shouldn't do that. I'm doing a disservice to my local businesses and those kinds. And then you wander up into a local business. And you've got a per, you know that movie, Zootopia? Like, we're getting to the point of the sloth service in Zootopia.

I don't know if you've ever seen. If you have kids, you know exactly what I'm talking about. But look, it's not, like I said, this is not a North-South issue. This is a people quitting issue, right? They're giving up. They're giving up on the idea that they're going to give their best effort. It's very easy to see. You know, the pace of people is.

so slow it's unbelievable it's like i it's one thing to be like i could i could do that two times as fast as that guy right it's another thing to be like what we what i just witnessed i could have checked out five to ten customers in the time it took them to check me out you know it's breathtaking it's breathtaking but it's a you know it's a reality it's a reality it's a reality you see a lot of quit in society you see a lot of this kind of stuff in society j fergan chat says the south is heaven i agree uh but don't let the sweet fool you for real no doubt about it um it is beautiful in the south though i don't want to say it because too many of us northerners are moving down here as is too many of us northerners are

moving down here as is and then they uh they move down here and they vote democrat and they screw it all up. Just like Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas finished. Texas might be finished. You know, too many Californians. There is a, there is a, what's it called the carrying capacity for liberals, right? Isn't that what it is when you get, when you get your hunter's education, you learn about carrying capacity? I think that's what it's called. That's their way of being like, you can shoot animals. It's all right. You don't have to cry about it. They're going to eat all the food and everyone's going to die anyway if you don't kill some of them the carrying capacity in red states for liberals is a real thing you know beautiful places all down the south once they go over

their carrying capacity now i'm not saying we should hunt them of course not but what i'm saying is there is a very real limit to all the sudden things start to change things start to morph and it's like oh boy oh boy you know this is this has become uh this has become a problem now. This has become, we're having meetings about handing out hypodermic needles for the drug addicts in the streets. I think we've reached the carrying capacity for liberals in my beautiful southern city. We're not having that conversation. Well, maybe, I don't know. I have no idea, actually here in Richmond. Jordan says people just don't want to work. When I work, I work with a hustle. That's it. That's the game. You know, you're there to work. You know what it is, too, though? It's also that people don't

get fired. You know, my first job was, if you didn't work hard and you didn't hustle, you got fired. It really sets the tone. It really helps you understand what work is, right? There's a job to be done. You're going to do it fast and do it well, or you're going to get fired. If we could just have those parameters back, like just those parameters would change everything. Those parameters would make everything. I mean, retail would be better, you know, it's just a lot of things. Okay. I'm going on and on and on and on and on and long enough. Let's get into inside the cache.

I got an interesting one for you. It's not a physical product that I'm going to show you. But it's a good. You know what? Maybe I should prep it first, so we're good to go. It is one of the great resources that I've ever created or helped create. Let's get to it. All right.

Folks, inside the cash, medical, how do you make that big jump in medical, man? Like, how do you come out of that sort of world, you know, where you know the basics of first aid, maybe, the basics of CPR, maybe, right? We talk about the preparer's medical handbook here all the time. This is over at pbmfamily.com, by the way. You go to pbnfamily.com. There's this little link up there. It's build your medical cash. You see it? Build your medical cash. You don't have to be a member for this. This is not a thing where you have to sign up for membership and all that kind of stuff. You should, but you don't have to.

pbn family.com you go you click build your medical cash and you wind up here and you can obviously buy the preppers medical handbook while you're here which is to me the de facto preppers medical handbook it is sort of the medical manual for me and mine the pbn family the pbn network the host the incredible hosts have been you know spouting the the benefits of owning this small and affordable book for a very long time it's it's an essential about a few years so he's also been our doctor forgy's been our longest running sponsor here at pbn you know he was one of the first he was one of the first guys that that gave me personally the confidence to be like oh we can we can do this sponsorship thing we can make people money like we can do it and that's huge

if you have a conscience you know and you and you have sponsor you want to make money that's what you want to do you know you can't always do it doesn't always work out that way but you know you that's the goal um he sent me about two or three years into our sponsorship he sent me a list see this list in blue down below this incredible list of items that are all linked here they're all linked to amazon and give you the ability to buy every single item that's in this book you see it so you buy the Prepper's Medical Handbook, you get the manual. How to diagnose, how to treat, how to treat with antibiotics, you know, a variety of conditions, a variety of situations, a variety of medications. If it's over the counter, right? If it's over the counter, then it's linked here. And it's a lot of stuff, man. It's a lot of stuff. You know, everything from Lannacane to Jordan's going to laugh at me on this one.

Clotrymazole cream. I don't even know a clotrimazole cream. I don't have that. I don't know what it even does. But look, you click the link, boom. Oh, it's hydrochortizone. Okay. Why don't they just call it hydrochortisone?

Why do they got to? Sorry, I clicked the link to the Amazon page to see what it was. That didn't show up for you guys. But, yeah, surgical scrubs, they got a great dental kit, irrigation. syringes, sutures, percogesis tablets, ibuprofen, you write, a lot of basic stuff. Small syringes, cat tourniquet, cat Gen 7 tourniquet, not a bad item there. A disposable skin stapler, oral thermometer, mylar blanket. Who the hell don't have one of those already, though?

I hope you do. A lot of cool different dressings, quick clot, spanko bandages. I mean, a lot of times and why I think this is so valuable, guys, is because a lot of times when you get into first aid, or at least this is my situation, right? I got into first aid and I was like, I don't know what the hell to buy, dude. I have no idea what to buy.

Like, I have no idea what I should put up, what I should fill a container with, right? No clue. You get this book, you get this list, at pbnfamily.com you know get your basic first aid stuff and then add all this to that medical cash medical what's medical cash

it can be a big plastic container with a lid you know big rubber made container with a lit whatever all the sudden you fill this thing up and now not only do you have the physical items that you need but you know that when you go looking into this book into the preppers medical handbook that it's going to tell you

this is what you need it for oh my son has this issue my daughter my wife has this issue my husband has this issue what do i have to do let's let's consult the text right and then when you do that you wind up with a list of things that you need you look down if it's not antibiotic related it's going to be if it's if it's you know not prescription related it's it's going to be on this list so basically the blueprint to build out the first aid kit for this book so that you have the instruction and the gear necessary, right? It's a, I mean, it's harmonious. That's the way I always looked at it. It's harmonious. To me, it's just a beautiful thing that we offer at pbnfamily.com. I've never seen anything like it offered anywhere

else. I have to thank the good doctor for making it happen. I mean, he really did make it happen for us. And if you really want, you know, you can buy an IFAC, an amazing, or you can buy an incredible stomp bag from some company like who's the good one refuge medical's great company right american company you can buy this stuff uh like a big stomp bag from those guys if you don't know what you're doing with it if you don't know what you should be you know what i mean if you don't have a manual for how to use it in other words chances are you're probably going to do things wrong waste things, use things the wrong way, whatever the situation is. So for me, it just made sense.

It made such perfect sense to build this medical cash out with everything that's in the book that I'm going to reach for anyway. What book you're going to, what are you going to consult? Whatever you're going to, you could do this yourself too with any book you want. We've just done it for you and made it easy. That's pretty much it. That's pretty much to deal with that, folks. So listen, go to people.

and family.com. Check out the medical cash that we have sort of pre-built for you over there. Who knows? Maybe we'll put them all together in kits and sell them as is. It'd be kind of fun, right? With the medical handbook in there, be a cool little thing. While you're there, sign up, become a member today. It goes a long way. It goes a very long way. And we appreciate it. Okay. Now, let's get on the topic of how to get to the other side. to quit right and how to live there how to spend time there because it's a lot like holding your breath you know what I mean that's what it reminds me of it's a lot like holding your breath it's a lot like lifting something heavy that you can't like there's no way I can lift this thing right

and then you start to lift it and you lift a little little more and more as time goes on and all of a sudden you start to realize like oh I'm getting good at this oh I can do this I can do this regularly. I can lift this for a long time, right? It's exactly that. You just have to get there. You know what I mean? You have to know how to get there.

And you can get there doing things that you love. You can get there doing things that you hate. I'll tell you another great way to get on the other side of quit is heat. Heat is a great one. Sona, steam room, Virginia in August. Not this week. We're having another one of those, what are they called? What are they doing in the sky?

We're having another one of those sort of atmospheric manipulation weeks. What do they call? What's the technology? When they're spraying shit in the atmosphere, not chem trails. Although it is pretty chem trailing when you think about it. They're spraying like the silver up in the sky to block out the sun. We're having another one of those weeks. What's it called?

Because I want to run with that. I want to run with that spray, sun blocking, silver, that should do it. Or is it going to give me silver, colloidial silver, let's go to news. Blocking sun, climate change, atmosphere. Let's do that. Bill Gates Venture. Yeah, this is the one I read a long time ago. This is the one that first got.

Remember, like, earlier in the year, they came out and they were like, hey, we're going to go ahead and start spraying this stuff, I think, to block the sun out. Years ago, I read about it. And, of course, the king lizard himself, Bill Gates is the man behind it, the man who is intent on killing you. I mean, I can't really figure out anything but what this guy is doing with all his mind. is like how do we how do we make more land for the lizards to roam what's it called widespread research into the efficacy of solar geoengineering has been stalled for years due to controversy opponents believe such signs come through the unpredictable risks including extreme shifts in weather patterns imagine that not dissimilar to warming trends we already are witnessing yeah

some big rich lizard moron is going to spray chemicals into the air that are going to block out the sun and we're going to be going, I really wish we had dug some more coal up out of the ground to warm this damn planet up now with our, and the funny thing is we'll even have our mastodon furs on like back in the day. We'll have our mastodon furs on because they're bringing those back from the dead too, right? They're going to bring the mastodons back. So we'll have our spears. We'll have our mastodon furs. We'll be hunting the mastodons, probably slaying the saber-toothed tigers by then.

It's all part of the reset. It's all part of the reset of the human species that has happened for the last. What if we've been around for about 100 billion years human beings? And we'd follow the same cycle. We follow the same crazy cycle where we do all this dumb stuff. we get all technologically advanced and then we thrust ourselves back into an ice age and start over that's why we can't figure out what it is right dr randall carlson saying oh i think a comet hit and screwed the whole planet up and created an ice age no some stupid human every time just gets

really rich gets super rich and is like i'll fix it let's code all the food in artificial coding and it should be fine it'll last the whole year if you coat an apple in my appeal it'll last for two years won't be anything wrong with it trust me not at least while i'm alive and can be sued and then they you know they spray a bunch of stuff up in the atmosphere they trigger the ice age they get scared because everything's great it's nice it's warm everyone's happy tan food's growing everywhere they keep looking at the tides and the the coasts and oh i think the coast is rising we better do something and then some idiot lizard comes along spread why do i call them lizards it's a running joke about uh the million aes and billion aes and you know

they're the lizard people right they're so sort of departed from humanity that we call them the lizards here at pbn they're the metas they're the uh the Zuckerbergs the bezos is the people who are so ungodly rich that you look at their skin and in their eyes and you're like maybe so where was i going with that i have no clue total rant total rant on the other side of quit that's what's important that's what we're talking about oh temperature temperature yeah solar geoengineering we're having a wonderful solo geoengineering week here in richmond virginia really we are it's like fall it's like fall but not really it shouldn't be like fall but it is like fall so but a lot of times it's super hot this time of year and just sitting outside on the porch is enough to make you

like ooh i may be hitting the other side of quit at the moment like james was talking about and i'm going to keep adjusting the camera because i'm a psycho um you can get there a number of ways and you know you get there because like i said the first sign that you're getting to that other side is you start making excuses. Oh, I got to stop. I got other things to do. I got to go change the laundry. I got to go, right? You get there. And the key is you stay there. The key is you stay there. You stay in that uncomfortable situation where you're like, oh, I want to stop. I want to stop for any number of reasons. Like, I want to stop this for any number of reasons. As long as it's good, like not terrible for you, right? But in most of the most of the way,

cases you feel that the easiest way i mean maybe temperature is pretty easy freezing waters can be dangerous but and heat can be dangerous too you got to be careful but i do think that endurance work physical fitness that kind of stuff is real easy it's a real easy way to run up to that door and open it up you know right you run up to that door of quit and open it up and you look in there and you go like oh be so nice to stop right now It'd be so nice to stop running right now. I just want to stop running. And then the body starts in and the mind starts in.

Oh, I got my knee. What if there's something wrong on my knee? I probably should stop. I better stop. Could be something wrong on my knee. I might have to go to the dock. What if I tear something important in my knee and I'm laid up for it? Will this run really matter that much if I'm laid up for six to eight weeks with a meniscus thing or whatever?

And those are the voices that come in. Oh, you got to go home. you got to do this thing you got to cut this run short you know that's the quit and you got to live there you got to live there you got to spend time there you got to spend time in that catastrophic and chaotic malstrom that is the quitting mind and then you start to build you start to build almost like a bridge or something along those lines you start to build on your ability to live there. All of a sudden, you can stay there. Can't breathe. Legs hurt. You know, your, what's it called? Your diaphragm hurts. Oh, God, it's so suck. It's so bad. It's so terrible. Most people

quit 10 minutes ago, but I'm still going. And you learn to live in that world. And from a mental standpoint, it shifts everything, right? You get to the quit. And then you quit. Okay. At least you did something, right? But if you get to the quip and then you push well beyond, Joe Rogan calls a perspective enhancing. I think it's a pretty good way to look at it. Calls a perspective enhancing, right? Because that's exactly what it does.

When you are, when you can't breathe, when you haven't been able to breathe properly for the last 10 minutes, and you've got undeniable searing pain in your calves or your hamstrings or whatever it is. The little problems of the day, the little things that often require lots of your patients, they transform into nothing.

Actually, they burn away into nothing, right? And they fizzle out into nothing, right? You know what I'm talking about. Everybody has those little problems in their life where it's like, oh, my God, I got to, oh, my, I can't believe that she left the thing over here when it's supposed to be over, you know, those problems, right? I can't believe that he couldn't walk and do this thing.

The dog did this and, oh, my God, I'm losing it. I can't take this life anymore, right? All these little things that happen, all these little irks that people have, right? If you can get on the other side of quit and stick around, stick around in that suffering for a while, man, all of a sudden, everything starts to look different. Oh, I don't care. I could care less about that little stuff. I was just in hell and now I'm back to the heaven on earth

But more importantly than feeling good In all honesty Because like the claim that I made at the beginning of the show Is that the good life exists on the other side of quit Is that all of a sudden you have more energy All of a sudden you have more willpower At the end of the day You have what it takes to go the extra mile

You have what it takes to go the distance for the most important things in your life. Right? One of the things that people don't talk about out loud, and it's because it's embarrassing, is that you think you live a life where you value the things that are most important to you, and they get your best effort, right? Like, you believe that, you think that, you feel that, you maybe even rest your hat on that. But from my experience, the easiest people to leave in the dark are the people you live with. The easiest people to abandon, I'm not talking about in the big ways. I'm talking about in the little ways, in the day-to-day ways, right? They're the people you live with. It's very easy to neglect somebody that you live with every day and say, well, I'm beat.

I had a long day at work. Traffic sucked. You know, I woke up. I had this problem. I had to call in and deal with this thing and all that and you know what i'm just i'm just going to go lay down and call it a day right it's very easy we make believe that we give our best effort to the people who we say matter the most in our life but most of the time it's not true right if you're intentional about it if you make it intentional if you make it a responsibility if you make it a priority and on top of that if you can go beyond quit then you can actually do that then the average person can actually do that the average person can wake up early get the things done that they need to get done all this little willpower stuff that has to happen to find yourself at the end of the day or

the middle of the day or the latter part of the day or posting or whatever is and say let me pull up next to the kid, see what he's doing. Doesn't matter that I'm not interested in it, right? See what he's doing. Watch him fall under the spell of his passion and understand that this is a big deal to him and, you know, see and feel and understand the thing that my wife and I created. Doesn't happen as much as you think. You know what I mean? Doesn't happen as much as you think. Your spouse, same situation, right? Same situation with the spouse. We did X, Y, and Z to arrive at this moment at the end of the day so that we can spend some valuable time together and then all the sudden you wake up. All the sudden you wake up and it's the next day, right? That's life, man. That's life. And you have to train the

ability to go beyond that. You have to train yourself on the other side of quit and you have to get there and you have to stay there, you know. So take that all with the grain of salt today. Understand that the good life is on the other side of quit. The moment you feel like quitting, the moment you don't want to do it, the moment you don't want to, I can't do anymore. I don't have any strength. I don't have any will.

I don't have. Most people quit at 40%. Right? That's the David Goggins quote. Most people quit at 40%. So when you feel like you have nothing else, just keep that in the back of your mind. that's your little that's your little uh bonus you know what i mean it's like am i really done am i really done or am i just bullshitting myself because i want to get in bed and be comfy

most people quit at 40 percent my addition is that uh most people don't ask for help until they're ready to quit until they're just about to quit right and it's too late at that point most most cases so life's difficult how's it all relate to prepping it should be a no-brainer if you're asking me how does it relate to prepping and survival and that kind of stuff then you're not i already know you're not doing enough prepping and survival stuff in your life you don't have a build into your lifestyle you're not taking it seriously enough if you have to ask that question because for the vast majority of us We know that after everything else is done, life-related stuff,

that's when you can start thinking about prepping and survival-related stuff. Oh, when am I going to do this? I need time to train. I should I go to the range? Oh, there's weeding and yard work and gardening. And I got to clean the coop. And I got to do, you know, all this stuff exists well on the other side of everything that has to be done during the day.

So if you're just getting started prepping, one of the biggest excuses. you're going to make is I'm a little tired. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow I'll start to think about emergency plans and those kinds of things. Maybe tomorrow I'll do a little dry fire training with the handgun. Maybe tomorrow when I have a little more, or the weekend, when I have a little more energy I'll do. The good life is on the other side to quit. Everything fun and cool is waiting for you. But you've got to practice. getting up to that that quitting mind pushing past it and staying in that uncomfortable situation

as long as you can and you'll find it more and more bearable with time and before long you'll be unstoppable you know you'll be an unstoppable force people will look at you and go like how the hell does someone do this stuff that that person does I know a lot of them look one of them's in chat right now I know a lot of people like this they understand that the goodness is on the other side of quit, okay?
