"Bad things happen to good people. But by complaining and being negative, you are not helping the situation in any way whatsoever." - Jason Redman
Imagine coming home from combat in a wheelchair, with metal hardware holding your body together, breathing through a trach tube for over seven months, and having your wife grind up your food so you can eat through a stomach tube. Most people would crumble under that weight. Jason Redman, a former Navy SEAL, made a different choice. Instead of wallowing in what happened to him, he put up a sign outside his hospital room that changed everything - not just for him, but for everyone around him. That single decision to reject victim mentality became the foundation for a recovery that defied every medical expectation and transformed how his family, friends, and fellow warriors saw what was possible in their darkest moments.
What Jason shares about the SEAL mindset goes far beyond military training - it's a blueprint for anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed by life's challenges. He reveals how SEALs use "muscle memory" principles to build unshakeable discipline, why they train for scenarios even worse than the worst-case situation, and how the simple "crawl, walk, run" approach can help you accomplish goals that feel impossible right now. This isn't about becoming tougher or pushing through pain - it's about understanding that leadership starts with how you lead yourself, especially when everything falls apart.
