Fight Club

Application In Your Life:

  • In this chapter titled fight club, it gives us a reminder of how we should fight in our lion's den. In the last chapter, we spoke about how we shouldn't run from our pit, or struggle in life. Instead, we should fight for what we believe in and our convictions.
  • The old adage is true in stating, it's not the size of the dog in the fight it's the size of the fight in the dog. Fighters don't walk away when the going gets tough; they fight to the finish for their convictions.
  • A lion's roar is meant to communicate dominance and assert its authority in a territory. And the only thing that will silence a lion's roar is the roar of a more powerful lion. Don't let other obligations in life roar over you. 
  • We are called to be like a thermostat and not a thermometer. A thermometer conforms to the temperature of its surroundings while a thermostat has the ability to change the temperature of its surroundings.

Biggest Takeaway:

  • We were born on the battlefield between good and evil, and we have to choose sides. It may be our phones, bad habits, or our unconscious decisions. We have to fight for what is good. 

Quotes:

  1. Our fear of looking foolish prevents us from roaring. 
  2. The fear of looking foolish is foolish.
  3. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Maturity is the balance between courage and consideration.  Abundance Mentality is the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. A character rich in integrity, maturity, and the Abundance Mentality has a genuineness that goes far beyond technique, or lack of it, in human interaction. If we search deeply enough within ourselves-beyond the scripting, beyond the learned attitudes and behaviors- the real validation of Win/Win, as well as every other correct principle, is in our lives.  Relationshi...
