Today on the Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine is diving deep into the first of the seven commitments necessary to forge elite teams—--courage. Mark, drawing from his Navy SEAL background, breaks down the foundational importance of courage—--and why it serves as a crucial gateway to the higher energies of growth, acceptance, and love. 

 

Mark reveals how courage is not just about charging forward, but rather about the willingness to face our deepest fears, embrace risk, and refuse to stay in our comfort zone. He provides actionable strategies for cultivating courage, like practicing the art of letting go, or simulating challenging scenarios through what he calls “reality-based training”. 

 

Mark candidly reflects on the ongoing struggle with ego, vulnerability, and the power of forgiveness. Delving into the importance of aligning one’s daily actions with their greater purpose and principles, Mark highlights how leading yourself and others through adversity sometimes means walking away from old environments and relationships. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Training For Risk: Learn how embracing risk means preparing for it—-facing your fears and building competence.

 

  • Living By Your Personal Ethos: Realize how true transformation comes from aligning your actions with your deepest values—-even when it’s hard. 

 

  • Courage as Inaction: Note that courage can be subtle—as much as it’s about action, many times it’s about restraint—-having the wherewithal NOT to speak or react to a situation. 

 

  • The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover that in order to live by your personal ethos, you must UNDERSTAND what your personal ethos is. Doing so requires reflection on what you value, and what you won’t compromise on.
