Dr. Michael Gervais is a high-performance psychologist who's spent 30 years studying what separates elite performers from everyone else. His first principle? You don't rise to moments. You fall to the level of your training. Every single time.

That extra rep at the gym when your body screams to stop. Staying in a hard conversation just a little bit longer when you want to bail. Those aren't just isolated moments. They're training sessions.

And you're always training something. The way you frame this conversation right now. The way you responded to the cold eggs you ate this morning. All of it is shaping how you'll respond when it really counts.

Here's the reality check: 84% of people live right around average in the way they approach their live's. Not because they lack talent. Because they never fundamentally organize their life around what matters most. Most people don't even make that decision. 

Without awareness of how you're working with your thoughts and emotions? You don't have a fighting chance at becoming what you're capable of.

This is what post-traumatic growth actually looks like when you've been training for it your whole life.
