The worst thing about in<strong>com</strong>ing artillery fire is<br />
you can’t control it. It is happening and you just<br />
have to accept it. Don’t stress about things you<br />
can’t control.<br />
If the stress is something that you can control and<br />
you are not, that is a lack of discipline and a lack<br />
of ownership.<br />
Get control of it. Impose your will to make it<br />
happen. Solve the problem. Relieve the stress.<br />
If the stress is something you can’t control: Embrace<br />
it.<br />
You can’t control it, but—<br />
How can you look at it from a different angle?<br />
How can you use it to your advantage?<br />
I couldn’t control the chaos of <strong>com</strong>bat.<br />
I had to embrace it.<br />
I had to figure out a way to take advantage of it.<br />
Make it into your ally.<br />
So. Don’t fight stress. Embrace it. Turn it on<br />
itself. Use it to make yourself sharper and more<br />
alert. Use it to make you think and learn and get<br />
better and smarter and more effective.<br />
Use the stress to make you a better you.
