Stress Control
Recap
Stress control isn't a matter of being fearless but of controlling fear – and having a mindset of do or die.
► Believing – expecting to win – vastly improves your chances.
► “The key to victory is 10 percent skill, 90 percent will.” That’s a common mantra of elite military units.
► Willpower is a choice. Flip the switch from fear to fury.
► Besides, what other choice do you have? If someone’s going to kill you, you might as well go out with a roar rather than a whimper – especially since that roar just might save your life after all.
► Your will to live must overpower his will to kill you.
► Fight with mad-dog ferocity, and never give up. All in all, you must DO or die.
