Do you want to be left behind?  In battle-hardened-combat-veteran Jocko Willink's book "DISCIPLINE EQUALS FREEDOM," he talks about how there is no shortcut, no hack to getting after what you want.  But is it really simple as telling yourself "Get After It?"  Does "get after it" work for everyone? Why is it that some people think "get after it" and just go for it, leaving other's in the dust?  On one hand, Willink has lived through some of the toughest conditions and stressful situations a person can experience - so it makes sense that "get after it works."   But how can the rest of us apply thinking that get's us at it?  Let's explore this question about self-talk and motivation not just to workout, but how it can carry into just about every area of your life from career, to money, to goals, hobbies, relationships, and beyond.
