" Ready!" " Ready!" "One." "They've done tests for years trying to figure out who can get through selection training, but we never can tell until it happens." "Do not show me weakness, or I will attack." "And sometimes you never know a person until you put him in that situation." "It's worse than hell because it exists and you're already there." "The purpose is to weed out the ones that don't want to be there." " I quit." " Your mind will quit faster than your body physically." " You guys are crazy." " So we can focus on the ones that do." "There's about four of you guys in this class right now." "The rest of you guys suck ass." "And we're gonna drop a smoke hammer on them and it's gonna suck." " You embrace the suck." " You say, "You know what?"" "We're gonna get through this shit together." ""Let's do it."" "It's the only way that you can find out what type of person you really are when you're pushed to the limit." " Over edge!" " Over edge." "Number 12, do you think highly of yourself?" "You're the new class leader." "I don't want it to be easy." "It's not gonna be easy." " Hurry up!" " Hurry up!" "Don't be last." "We don't like quitters, and you can't come back." " Why are you here?" " I just wanna be a better man." "So you wanna learn how to lead?" "Yes." "We make you cold, so you learn how to be uncomfortable." "When people come to a selection, they're looking for something." "They've got demons in the closet, they're dealing with shit." "They have a horrible childhood like me." "I don't know what it is, but they're all looking for something, and we are gonna be on them like white on rice." "So, actually, it's split down the middle right now." "It's half pretty strong and half pretty weak." "Yeah, a lot of people are gonna go." "Number 20, first class leader." " He's all over the place." " Super high strung." "He gets stressed out fast, and he just tenses up." "But, that being said, super hard worker, and just couldn't really be more authentic." " Number 11." " The guy puts out." "He's the oldest in the class, too." " Is he really?" " He's 45 years old." "Number eight, the weak one." "She'll be gone tomorrow." "Absolutely." " Think so?" " Yeah." "She's done." "Do you think if she quits, her sister's gonna quit with her?" "Yeah." "So on that, let's switch up the class leader." "Who do you want to go with?" " I think, my opinion?" " We've done 20." "We've done 12." "I think 23." "She's on the fence." "She's up and down." "Make her team leader." " It's gonna make or break her." " Yeah." "Well, what about my man 30?" " He's gonna beat a guy." " I like the guy." " I like him." " He puts out." " He's got super heart." " He does have a lot of heart." "Heart can only go so far, though." " The water's gonna kill him." " The wat... yeah." "The beach is gonna be a bruiser." " It's gonna beat some people up." " Rough cold water, it's gonna eat some of these people up." " Think about how you get up." " Worst case scenario." "You oversleep, you jump up, you don't make your bed." "You forget to brush your teeth," "Your hair looks like shit and you run out the door." "Amplify that by 10,000, and that's what we're doing." "Get up now!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Get your socks and shoes on!" "Get your socks!" "Get your socks and shoes on!" "Get your socks and shoes on!" "Move what you got!" "Move!" "Move!" "They don't realize it, but we're trying to set them up for real world military skills." "Hurry up, already!" "Get out!" "Something like a break out would simulate incoming mortar fire, or an ambush, or somebody's raiding the base or compound you're on." "As I'm screaming and yelling and just facilitating this evolution of hell, I just see people going up to instructors and leaving." "Who wants them there?" "Get your socks and shoes on!" "Get your canteen." "Let's go!" " One, two, three." " One." "One, two, three, sound off, sound off!" " Do it again." "Do it again." " Go!" "Belly down." "Belly down." "Let me see that position!" "Move!" "Get in there!" "This is cold, wet, and miserable." " Drag your hips down." " Let's go!" "Come on!" "All I need is one quitter." "Let's go!" "So what are you doing, tight shorts?" "Get on the ground or get in the pit!" "Get in the pit!" "Line up in formation." "One, two, three" " All:" "One." " One, two, three." " 36." "We're taking people from a dead stop and we're red-lining them." "Boom!" "We're making them work, because in the real world, when the shit hits the fan, you don't have time to have that cup of coffee." "You better know where all your operational gear is and you better go from zero to a thousand like that." "Suffer in silence." "Embrace the suck." "We don't care." " Make this a learning experience." " Yes, Instructor." "This event in military style selection processes, and in the military in general is not for everybody." "They're coming off their gym workouts and their Pilates, and their CrossFit, and 5ks, and maybe some marathons, and we're immediately kicking them right in the ass." "This is what you wanted." "I will find leaders in you all today." "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." "Eat, eat, eat." "Anybody done with two MRE's yet?" "I know they don't taste as good as they should, but you're gonna need the calories." "It's gonna get cold." " I'm begging you, eat them." " You're going to need them." "I'll tell you, the storm's coming." "Eat it." " Pre-game." " Yup." "Eat." "Try to eat as much as possible." "Try to eat two." "Drink water while you eat." "Make this process quicker." "Eat fast." "As fast as possible." "What's going on?" " My panc..." " What's the problem?" "I think I'm having a pancreatic attack, because I felt this pain before and right now..." "Why did you come here if you have chronic pancreatitis?" "If you knew you had these problems, why would you come here?" "Because I..." "I didn't want the problems to define what I can do." "And within Army Special Forces, I was an 18 Delta, which is a Special Forces medic." "We'll med drop somebody..." "If somebody is physically incapable or is gonna get hurt, we'll med drop him." " I don't wanna quit." " Then don't quit." "I'm not gonna med drop you." "I saw you outside doing PT." "I think you're fine." "I think you just are using this as an excuse to leave here." "But I'm not." "Raise your hand if you ate two MRE's." "There's no wishy-washy, number 30." "Did you finish two MRE's?" "Well, he didn't ask if you finished one and a half." "He asked you if you finished two." "30, you are gonna freeze your nuts off." "Yeah, this is... you make it past the next thing," "I will be somewhat impressed." "Somewhat." "You're 21 years old." "You knew you came here with this." "You need to make a decision." "Do you want to stay and can you stay?" "If not, you need to take your patch off, hand it to Instructor Bowen, and you need to leave." "You're either going to continue on or you're going to give your patch to Instructor Bowen." "The majority of the people that are gonna quit this are people who are afraid of failure." "And it's easier for them to make an excuse..." "They'll find every excuse in the world to quit and go home and get back into their warm, cozy bed." "So, no, I don't have any sympathy for somebody that doesn't want to be here, wants to quit." "If you wanna quit, go home." "I know that's harsh, but that's the reality of it." "It could always be worse." "Somebody out there's working harder than you are right now." "Go down to your left." "What's your name, number 30?" "Where are you from?" "Why did you move to America?" "Basically, or you have?" "How'd they pass?" "Why did you become a nurse?" "Guards!" "Keep going, keep going!" "Keep turning, keep turning." "Keep turning." "Now, shimmy to the left." "Shimmy to the left." "What's up?" "Why are you removing that?" "What's going on?" "Who is that?" "What number?" "Get over here." " What number?" " 29." "Take a deep breath and relax." "Left, left, left, left, left." " BUDS, our initial." " SEAL selection course, stands for Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training." "At BUDS, you're doing everything from the water." "So, you're born into that mindset that you're going to be cold, you're going to be uncomfortable." "Thirty seconds, do not remove your hood." "Remove your blouse." "Go." "Remove your blouse." "Remove your blouse without taking your top off." "Interlock arms." "Interlock your arms." "Interlock your arms!" "Interlock your a." "Interlock your arms!" "Interlock your arms!" "Why can't you listen?" "The 58-degree Pacific Ocean, it's physically brutal, it's mentally debilitating." "You find out who are the hard ones, who are the ones are there for the right reasons." "And it really shows the backbone of the individual." "It's a rite of passage." "Class leader, come here." "You're fired." "Get back in line." " Number 23, come here." " Yes, Instructor?" "You're the new class leader." " You got it?" " Yes, Instructor." "I always want a full head count," "I wanna know who's in medical," " and I wanna know who quits." " Yes, Instructor." "Shit goes downhill." "Anything the class does falls on your shoulders, you got it?" " Yes, Instructor." " Okay, fall back in line." "Instructor Care, I'll turn it over to you." "Can everyone hear me?" "Yes, Instructor." "Next course of event is gonna be called surf immersion." "What we're going to do is we're going to test you mentally and physically to see how long you can withstand extreme exposure to the elements of the cold." "You're gonna follow me into the surf, and you're gonna take my commands." "There's two commands." " Seat and on your back." " Yes, Instructor." "Follow me." "Stay in line." "And stop." "Straighten up the line." "Guys, your line looks like shit." "Straighten it up." "I let their feet get wet, and they get to feel how cold it is, and that coldness runs right up their body." "Take seats." "Seats!" "Seats!" "Seats!" "Straighten up the line." "They sit down, they lock arms," " No talking." "Straighten up the line!" " and we wait." "Stay tight." "Lay back!" "Lay back!" " You better lock those arms." " Lay back." "And you better not lose a single person." " Fix it up!" " Fix it!" "Fix it!" "Fix it!" "Get up and fix it!" "Here it comes!" "Here it comes!" "Here it comes!" "I just time it so the surf breaks right on them." " Lock your arms!" " Keep your arms forward." " Lock your arms." " Lock arms!" " Fix it." "Fix it." " Number 15, how many times are you gonna let go of your buddy?" " Fix it!" "Do the arms!" " Stop breaking the link." "Get up!" "Get up and fix it!" "They disperse in many different ways." "They try to hold that link, and that link is supposed to be their force, their zen." "They try with everything they have." "But the poor bastards on the end like number 30 and a couple of the other individuals, they get washed out to sea." " Grab him!" " Go get him," " number 11." " Okay." " Hold tight, stand up." " Get back!" "So as a team, they have to regroup, go grab those individuals, and get back into position as quickly as they can." " This is why you lock arms!" " Link arms!" "Move out!" "That's it!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Get up!" "Stop breaking the link, number 30!" "We just go over this over and over and over." "Whoo!" " Keep those arms strong." " Pull yourselves up!" "It's a sit up!" "Straighten the line or I'm going to put you in another three feet." "Lie on your backs." "Shut up." "Lay back!" "Sit through it!" "Don't let go!" "There will be pain, but what's so important about this and everybody needs to understand is there's a lesson that's being taught." " Don't let go!" " Here it comes!" "Here it comes!" "We're programming people to challenge themselves to know when to work as a team." "They have to feed off each other's strengths and weaknesses." "That's where the bond takes place." " Left." " Halt." "Straighten that line up." "Straighten it up now!" "Stand at attention." "Stand at attention." "Stand at attention." "Stand at attention!" "23, look at me." "It's gonna get colder." "I'm trying to save you a lot of pain." "Are you sure?" "I actually love your heart, but I'm trying to help you here." "I went in the water to go get you." "I'm gonna put you in deeper, and it's gonna get nastier." "Are you sure?" "Look me in the eyes." "Do you want it or do you want to give me your patch?" "You'll freeze?" "Or do you want to give it to me?" "I'll go for it." " Everyone take your." " T-shirts off." "T-shirts off." " T-shirts off." " Take your t-shirts off." "Hurry up." "Throw them up here." "Throw them on up over there." " Take your time, number 30." " Take your time." " Good job." "Way to go." "Take your time." " That's it, class leader." "Take your time." "Take your time." "Hey, suck it up or leave." "That's your only two options." " About face." " About face!" "Forward march." "Way to go!" "What are you doing?" "So, what are you doing right now?" "You wanna quit?" "Where's your patch?" "Go get your patch." "Stop!" "Go see the corpsman." "Get out of here." "Seats." "Lay back." "There she goes." "Fix it!" "Get this line straight!" "Fix your line, 4." "Fix your line." " Don't let go." " Hold it, hold it." " Don't let go!" " Don't you let go!" "This is what's going to happen." "You guys see that buoy out there?" "Yes, Instructor." "It's about 250 yards offshore, okay?" "You go all the way around." "You gotta swim counter clockwise around the buoy, not clockwise." " What way?" " Counter clockwise." "That's right." "I wanna come back in, Instructor." "You handed me your patch and you said you quit, right?" " Yes, Instructor." " Okay." "Well, in my world, we don't like quitters, and you can't come back." "You got that?" " I understand, Instructor." " Okay." "You're done." "There are sharks out there, so, if there's a medical emergency..." "Not like, "My leg's cramped up,"" "like "My back kinda hurts."" "If you are gonna die or your eyeball's gonna fall out of its socket or a shark just bit your leg off, you're gonna wave your hand like this, okay?" "If you wanna quit, just swim back into shore." "And how far away are you gonna be from your swim buddy?" "Six feet." "That's why we tell you." "You do a lot of swimming in BUDS." "Everybody knows the dangers of rip currents and the surf zone and cold water." "We put some life preservers on a couple of guys that said they were not comfortable in the water so we can be safe." "What we want them to do is just complete the evolution." "The only reason that you should be swimming into the beach is because you want to quit." "What do you got?" "You, go over there." " Instructor?" " What do you got?" "Talk to me." "Right here." "You can't breathe through the goggles or you can't swim?" "You can?" "Okay, well, why aren't you swimming?" "If you could swim, go swim." "If you can't breathe with the goggles, swim with the goggles around your neck." "You can't do the swim, can you?" "Look up at me." "Do you want to quit?" " You'll give it one more shot?" " Yes, Instructor." "27, your swim buddy wants to swim." "There's the buoy." "What are you waiting for, 30?" "Ready?" "He's done." "27, go see your instructor." "Come here, 30." "Come here." "What you got going on?" "I asked you if you could swim, right?" "You said yes." "Look up at me." "Why do you keep looking down?" "What were you briefed by Instructor Haggerty?" "If you turned around and came in, what did that signify to us?" "That I did what?" "You what?" " Quit?" " Quit." "Exactly." "This program is for a well-rounded person." "Do you understand that?" "You're small, you're cold, you're weak." "You have a lot of heart." "You have a ton of heart." "Okay?" "Unfortunately, it's not gonna get you through this program." "Doesn't mean that you can't do something again in the future." "It just means you can't stay here today." "You understand?" "27, would you like to do some push-ups to warm up?" " Yes." " Drop." " Ready?" " Ready." " Down." " One." " Down." " Two." "My personal opinion is you don't have to be a strong swimmer to pass anything." "You have to be comfortable with yourself and your abilities in the water." "I'm not the strongest swimmer, but I'm the guy that will literally power through the water to get it done, because you tell me to do something," "I'm gonna do it." "If I don't do it, it's because either I'm dead... or I'm dead." " Drink water." " Drink your water." "Drink water." "Drink water." "Drink water." "Drink water." "What is it, 2-0?" "Take your bottle, buddy." "Go see the medic over there." "We're not here trying to hurt individuals." "But this isn't about just seeing who has what it takes." "This is about giving us everything you have." "Let me tell you what, if I don't see somebody puking, or keeled over with cramps, or literally just dropping unconscious," "I'm not doing my job." "It's okay." "Feeling better?" " Do the deep breath." " Do the." "Imagine that sun just warming you from the inside out." "Do it in sync." "Deep breaths." "Deep breaths." "Brotherhood..." "I never knew what that meant." "I never had a brother." " That sun is warming us." " That sun right there, it's beaming right down on you." "It's warming you right now." " I lost my father." " He was murdered, so there was a void, you know?" "I'm cold." "I'm not even that cold." " It's like it's involuntary." " It'll stop soon." "Just tell yourself to stop shaking." " Stop." "Just make your body stop." " I'm not shivering." "I was going down a dark road growing up getting in a lot of fights, doing a lot of stupid shit." "That's good, that's good." "Deep breaths." "Feel that sun?" "Feel that warm sun?" "My life began when I became a Navy SEAL." "I finally found a home." "Try your shiver on the breathe out." "During the selection, we're trying to make it as miserable as we can and as close as we can to real thing." " Wanna speed up, number eight?" " Keep going." " Number eight, are you with me?" " I'm behind you." "Okay." "So they're always gonna be wet, they're always gonna be cold." "They're always gonna be sandy." "This is called, "land portage."" " Up boat." " Up boat." " Prepare to down boat." " Prepare to down boat." " Down boat." " Down boat." " Prepare to up boat." " Prepare to up boat." " Up boat." " Up boat." "Land portage... working as a team to get a boat from point A to point B the most efficient way possible." "Pays to be a winner!" "Pays to be a winner!" "Second to log PT, that tested me like nothing else." " I know how much it hurts." " I've been there." "Come on, guys, prepare to down boat." "Prepare to down boat." "Down boat." "This good deal's not gonna last forever." "Breathe in." "In the smaller crew, we had a crew that was mainly comprised of women." "They were shorter and they weren't physically as strong," " and they were suffering." " Think about it." "Do I have empathy?" "No." "I don't like the word "empathy"." "It pisses me off." "Two hands on the paddle." "Two hands on the paddle." " What are you doing walking?" " All the way down, 23." "23, this is your evolution." "Head up." "Whoo!" " How you doing, 2-0?" " Good, sir." " Better day than yesterday?" " Yes, sir." "Keep doing what you're doing." "Listen up." "Without your paddles, without your water, this is a race." "It pays to be a winner." "Bust it." "Do not touch any of the instructors." "Yes." "Where is that right hand supposed to be, number eight?" "Keep going." "Down." "Up. - 20, 22, hands behind your head." "Keep going." "Come on, number 8." "I know, she's almost there." "She's almost quit." "I will find a way to get to every single person and see if they have that fortitude, the determination and drive to succeed in any task given to you... come hell or high water." "Seeing how it's going right now, I can see it." "I can see it in your body language." "You're in that zone where you want to quit again." "Is that what's coming?" "I don't want to." " Don't cry." " I don't want to." "I can feel it." "I can see it." "Like you're getting ready..." "You're just getting ready to quit." "We constantly question people." "The reason that we do it is we just push them to another mental extreme." "We want them to question why they're here." "We want them to question what they're doing." "Bust it!" "Go!" " Yeah, I got it." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." "And when you start to tune out the noise from the outside, that's when you're going to start hitting your stride." "Don't worry number, 8 and 9." "I'll be here when you guys wanna talk to me." " Go!" " Go!" "But certain people just break from that." "You got some water in your ears?" "Hit it again." "Go." "Go, go, go, go, go." "Get out of here." "Come here, twins." "Hey, whoa, easy, easy." "Get down!" "We've been fighting this as hard as we can." "I mean, we're clearly not as big as some of the others, but we've been fighting, too." "You let us get into your head." "And you let the water and the cold get into your head." "Take it for what it is." "I was in so much pain, but I don't wanna let you down." "You're not letting me down." "What do you want to do?" "Hey, number 23, do you know what?" "You're only going to be letting your own self down." "Do you want more or do you want to turn it in?" "Listen, we got about three seconds." "What do you want to do?" "Either give me the patch or get back in line." "All right, I'm gonna turn it in." " I..." "I'm sorry." " Give me your patch." "I cannot stand quitters." "I do not have empathy for quitters." "When I'm on duty, I am gonna push individuals as hard and harder than they've ever been pushed before, because if not, I'm doing them a disservice, and I'm letting the other instructors down." "I owe it to them, I owe it to the individuals, and they owe it to themselves to literally put up or shut up, and that's it." "Pass them up." "Go!" "Pass them up." "Go!" "Pass them up!" "Prepare to down boat." "Down boat." " Prepare to down boat." " Down boat." "Who's guiding it?" "Who's guiding it?" "Six feet." "Let's go." "Six feet." "11, get up here." "We picked you as a class leader." "Number 11 is the new class leader." "How many do you have in your class, do you know?" "16, Instructor." "Are you looking forward to this evening?" "I am, Instructor." " I know that feeling." " I've had this feeling that you guys have right now." "Miserable." " Prepare to up boat." " Prepare to up boat." " Up boat." " Up boat." "There it is." "Up on the shoulder." " Up on the shoulder." " Boat presses." " Boat presses." " Boat presses." " Up." " Up." " Down." " Down." "What number was that?" "One." " Up." " Up." "What about you, number 19?" " Down." " One." "Are you gonna quit?" " Up." " Up." " Down." " Two." " Up." " Up." "Down" " All:" "Three." " Up." " Up." " Down." " Four." " Up." " Up." " Down." " Five." " You got that certain..." " Up." " Six." " - a certain don't give a attitude." " Up." " Down." "Seven." "Up." "Well, I didn't say it was good." "Eight." " Up." " Up." " Down." " Nine." "Have you been on an airplane?" "And is this, today, the first day you ever saw the ocean, right?" "The first day you ever saw the ocean was today." "That's amazing." "A lot of my firsts were in training." "Surprisingly, I never saw the ocean before I went to SEAL training, so I can relate to number 19." "He's young and ambitious and hungry to learn." "Instructor Capone, watch number 19." "Today's the first day he's ever seen the ocean." "Outstanding!" "First day ever to see the ocean." "This is your first day to see the ocean?" "What did you think of it?" "I saw you get hammered by a wave." " Number 19." " First time on an airplane, first time seeing the ocean today." "You're not bad." " Pretty cool." " You're not half bad, you're not half good, 19." " Down." " Down." "Why do you think we do this?" "Why do I make you freeze your ass off?" "It's to make you mentally tougher." "It's because compared to what we do after this training, we're never colder, we're never more miserable." "When you are actually freezing your ass off for 10 or 12 or 24 hours, you don't really think about it." "You're just uncomfortable." "You understand that?" "Yes, Instructor." "Being cold is not really being cold, it's just being uncomfortable, right?" "Yes, Instructor." "You're not dead, are you, when you're cold?" "No, Instructor." "You're still thinking clear, right?" "Yes, Instructor." " You're just what?" " Uncomfortable." "You're just uncomfortable, that's all." "So, we make you cold... so you learn how to be uncomfortable." " You got it?" " Yes, Instructor." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." " Forward march." "Take seats." "Whoo!" "Back!" "Off your knees." "All right!" "The finish line is never there." "That's what I wanna get across to these people." "Every day in life is a mission." "Get me a medic!" " Glucose water." " Here, let's do this, since he's about to pass out, have him sit down." " What's going on, four?" " I was dizzy." "You felt lightheaded?" "You know, doing one of these events, the participants' well-being was always on my mind on the medical side." "And I've got quite a bit of experience doing this, and when it goes bad, it goes bad fast." "Stand by for a few minutes, number four, okay?" "Drink water, and I'll tell you when you can move back over there, you go it?" "Yes, Instructor." "Anytime you go outside and take away people's sleep, you take away people's food, you change their pattern of life, it gets dangerous." "Number four, you gotta make a decision." "Are you going back in or not?" "Number four, you've been med dropped from the course." "I'm dropping you." "You understand you've been med dropped from the course?" "So, roster number four, based on his vitals and his low blood sugar, and then his LOC, or level of consciousness, it would have been way too dangerous to let him continue, so I made the decision at the time to med drop him." " Stand right there." " Stand right here." "Next person, come." " What's your roster number?" " 27." " Where you from?" " Portland, Maine." " How old are you?" " 35." "Roster number 27, are you good?" "Yes, I'm good." "Move over here and stand by." " What's your roster number?" " Number 19, sir." " Where you from?" " I'm from Winter, New York." " How old are you?" " I'm 23 years old, Instructor." " Roster number 19, are you good?" " I am good, Instructor." "Move up there with roster number 27." "Move out towards the tent, and get into one of those heated vans." "Hurry up." "Run!" " What's your roster number?" " Number six." " Where you from?" " Pittsburg, Pennsylvania." " How old are you?" " 25." " What's your roster number?" " 11." " How old are you?" " 45 years old..." "Inspector..." "Instructor!" " Inspector?" " I keep that... yes, Instructor." " Are you good?" " I'm good." " Where you from?" " I am from Kentucky, sir." "Louisville, Kentucky, sir." " How old are you?" " I'm 25 years old, sir." " 35 years old, sir." " How old are you?" "35 years old, sir." "2-0, are you okay?" " I'm fine, sir." " I want you to move back there..." "People start dropping fast, and that continues, and then as the tasks get harder, you start losing more people." "Saturday what?" "What's the date?" "Give me the actual date." "16?" " Where you at?" " Move out." "But I'm gonna tell you this right now, it's an hour into it, or if it's 10 days into it, they will leave here stronger than they were when they got here, without a doubt." "It's been a grueling 48 hours." "Now we have, I think, 15 solid candidates." "Now we're gonna test them in other ways." "This is horseshit!" "We'll get into a little bit more mental conditioning, mental toughness." "'Cause I don't feel I've been a good man in my life." "Do you want to continue?" "I'm not a quitter, sir." "You never wanna have a medical issue in a course." "It's the worst thing that could happen." "You are having a lot of trouble, number six." "80." "There's a paradigm shift that happens in your head." "Something that shifts in your mind from "there are limits" to "there are no limits.""
