you…” and “It’s not your fault…”<br />

And so they tell you: It’s okay to stop—it’s okay to<br />

settle. IT’S OKAY TO GIVE UP.<br />

And that is the instinct you need to fight.<br />

To push back—<br />

to smash into the ground.<br />

DO NOT TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT. Do not give up based on<br />

instinct. If you are forced to stand down—to retreat<br />

so that you can rebuild and re-attack—so be it. But<br />

make that decision based on logic—not on the instinct<br />

of surrender and defeat. Destroy that instinct.<br />

Replace it with the instinct that says:<br />

GET UP. GO. FIGHT ON.<br />

Make that your fundamental reaction to adversity—MAKE<br />

THAT YOUR GUT INSTINCT—<br />

and you will over<strong>com</strong>e anything that stands in<br />

your path.
