Listen, now more than ever, mental toughness is going to be your most prized asset, your brain, your mind.

But you know this already, obviously.

So you know what I don't need?

I don't need another fucking Instagram post.

Email.

Fucking vague advice from somebody telling me now you got to be mentally tough.

Obviously, man.

Obviously.

So what the fuck does that mean then?

You're going to give me some tools. You're going to give me some strategies. You're going to explain to me what the fuck does that mean then? You're gonna give me some tools, you're gonna give me some strategies, you're gonna explain to me what the fuck mental toughness even means in the first place? And how one is supposed to build mental toughness in the midst of a fucking global crisis?

It's offensive, man. I'd feel offended if I are you.

So listen, let me explain to feel offended if I are you.

So listen, let me explain to you what mental toughness is, all right?

It's very simple.

Mental toughness is the ability and the willingness to endure emotional pain, not physical

pain necessarily, but emotional pain within the context of a larger mission or goal.

All right? So listen, you being able to go to the gym and lift lots of weights does not make you mentally tough.

Now, does lifting weights? Can lifting weights contribute to one's mental toughness? Absolutely.

There's a lot of frail motherfuckers physically that are way

tougher than a lot of you meatheads running around here with big muscles. So mentally tough

is the ability and the willingness to endure emotional pain, to endure within the context of some

larger goal of mission. So you putting yourself through stress for no reason doesn't make any sense.
