The fourth skill, by the way, is... Task orientation. But if you show up doing everything that I just explained because you've trained to do it, right? It's not a cognitive thing. It's an actually, you know, this is a very visceral process. Then, you know, what you're going to get on the other side is an energetic synchronization.

Yeah, absolutely. Well, the mental, I mean, essentially the human being has a body, the mind and spirit. If all you focus on is a body, you're going to be a one dimensional being. The body follows the mind. You know, we learned that in the SEAL training as a tenant of what I teach at SEAL Fit. The body follows the mind.

And so, you could be physically fit and still fail at a sporting event if your mind is not conditioned properly. You could be the most talented athlete, you know, and we see this over and over again and still fail. You might win one or two times but you're going to fail if your mind isn't conditioned right.

And then behind the mind is the spirit and knows beyond the scope of this conversation. But I could almost make that same statement that once you connect with a spirit, with your spirit, then everything flows from that. And the mind becomes even more refined and finely tuned with universal principles. And that's when like your ultimate power comes out. So you're truly at your most

complete fullest self when body, mind and spirit are all aligned and working together, you know? I mean, SEALs who are aligned like that and everyone's operating that way, you know, they literally are shaping their enemy's minds.

You know, SEALs shape their enemy's mind with their violence of action and offensive mindset, you know, because everyone is thinking, we got this, we are running toward the sound of gunfire, we're going to dominate this battle, we're going to, you know, take it to the enemy, whatever. Everyone's thinking that way.

And like I said, at a very subtle level, that breeds fear in the enemy and the way we act and the way we think and the way we show up on the battlefield breeds fear in the enemy. Now, they may not even know it, but it happens, right? And that's why they, you know, their actions and reactions are going to be weaker than ours.

And they would literally just show up and wreak havoc on the enemy and then disappear. And that's what I mean.

And they won practically every altercation.
