YES 125: How to Believe in Yourself with James Lawrence

The man behind the documentary, The Iron Cowboy, is here to talk to us about human potential.  James Lawrence originally did 50 Iron Man's in 50 days.  He inspired many by this feat but decided to surpass his expectations and do 100 Iron Man's in 100 days.  He calls it a whirlwind adventure and journey of non-stop chaos and problem-solving.  He simply asked himself what he was capable of physically and mentally.  Furthermore, he removed the chaos and tried to control as much of the environment as he could. James believes no one is excluded from hardships, and it’s only through experience that we can get better at managing them.  He says valleys and peaks are equally important, as valleys are where you can reassess and ask yourself how you can become stronger and pull yourself out. Whether winning or losing, James says it’s your fault.  We all have a choice, and our choices determine our consequences.  If you don’t like the consequences you’re battling, make better choices.  We all have vastly greater potential than we give ourselves credit for.  Tap into yours and see what feats you can accomplish. What You’ll Learn: How to control your environment. The importance of peaks and valleys. How we choose our consequences. The importance of cultivating your strengths. Favorite Quote: “I would always ask myself, ‘if I take one more step, am I going to die?’ And the answer was always no, so I never had a good enough reason to stop pursuing this.”  —James Lawrence Connect with Pierce Instagram —  HERE Facebook — HERE -- Have you ever felt a pull to do something more?
