Have you ever talked yourself out of an opportunity for no reason at all? Excuses for no reason at all? Self sabotaging yourself before you’ve even put your feet on the floor is a great recipe for frustration and never getting out of your own way.
LESSONS:
If you’re nervous about doing something, perhaps this means this is an opportunity you SHOULD take
Are you answering the knocks on the door? Those thundering knocks are opportunity, waiting for you to answer the door and say YES!
Discomfort and nervous energy will go away once you start experiencing the benefits of facing the very things you are afraid of.

0:00.0 | Spartans, do you feel like there's not enough opportunities out there for you? |
0:05.0 | Spartans, welcome back to another episode of the Spartan Way Podcast. |
0:12.0 | I'm your host |
0:13.0 | Zach Evernesh coming to you from beautiful Pittsfield, Vermont, the birthplace |
0:17.8 | of all things Spartan. I love coming here, it gets me fired up, fresh air just the atmosphere being here and it kind of inspired me to come up with this next topic where I've heard a lot of people talk about the lack of opportunities out there and what I realized is myself included |
0:37.6 | Sometimes we self-sabotage ourselves. There's so much opportunity in this world, whether it's career, health, |
0:45.0 | fitness, getting better at something, but we talk ourselves out of it. We kind of quit |
0:50.8 | before we even start. and some recent experiences with my own gym. I was |
0:56.4 | looking for a new coach. I was looking for people to come to the gym for media for |

1:16.1 | they couldn't do it. |

1:31.0 | and we self-sabotage these opportunities that are right in front of us. |
1:36.9 | So the truth is, opportunity is everywhere. |
1:40.8 | There are thundering knocks of opportunity on all these doors and you got to ask yourself |
1:46.2 | Am I saying no because there's a slight bit of discomfort? It's maybe too early, too late, it's a little bit further away than what I'm used to. |
1:57.2 | Here's what we got to start doing. |
1:58.8 | Here's what we, myself, you, the world of Spartans, we've got to start saying yes to these opportunities, |
2:07.0 | especially the ones that have a little bit of discomfort, the things that we think are not opportunity. |
