Do Hard Things

By Steve Magness

Traditional Toughness - Act Confident
Science of Toughness - Embrace reality
An ounce of doubt keeps me sharp.
Assume nothing will happen as smothly or easily as you hope, but with enough time and effort it will get done.
Traditional Toughness - Ignore the pain and push on
The science of toughness - Acknowledge the pain but maitain equanimity
Reappriase - How might discomfort be beneficial
Reassure - This too shall pass
Traditional toughness - Forget the psychological needs and just do the work
The science of toughness - Satisfy the psychological needs and you'll work harder than ever
