Why You Feel Like Something Is Missing - Cameron Hanes

I think “chosen suffering” is a payment to God in someway. You have an obligation to improve. Take advantage of what God has blessed you with.

This is beautiful. I run ultras. Not ever to these guys standards. But it helps me realise and understand that I can overcome my demons and be the best daddy to my boys. My son ran the last mile with me on my 35 miler last week and it made me feel human. And he’ll remember that forever. Thanks guys for your podcasts and your brain food! It helps a lot of people trust me! Love to everyone who reads this stay hard!!!

This is the best podcast out atm.

“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.” ― G.K. Chesterton

Chris is the second name Cam mentioned in his new book, after Goggins. Much respect 🫡

I’m a huge fan of Chris and the pod. But it’s crazy to hear him lecture guests about parenting and marriage lol

At 52 I recently got into running again. We have 13 acres of land. Instead of being lazy and buying a tractor,I bought a DR walk behind brush mower. Walking while cutting builds my ligaments and tendons. Thanks for the encouragement.

I’ve listened to this episode 3 times now. So many good points, it has really helped me at this stage of my journey, I tore my shoulder labrum while I was still in a boot 6 months post op ankle surgery from torn ligaments and constant ankle swelling. I was a Marine Drill Instructor and after ankle surgery they ended my SDA tour, I felt so defeated. I was also 33 years old and was still trying to out do guys at 25. Didn’t even seem like a challenge but my body just didn’t recover like theirs, or whatever justification my mind created but after a torn labrum and rehabbing my ankle I went into a dark place. Chris was right. What do guys do when your only outlet is not longer available? What does one do when your stress relief will cause more problems than it will solve? How do you keep doing bands and yoga to get yourself back to performing? It doesn’t create that inner peace that comes from slaying demons in your mind. Then all that’s left is the demons and the couch. The phone. The wondering if this is it? How can people live like this? I went to that dark place to discover my identity was tied up in something that may have been built by hard work but was still only temporary. When I began to accept my circumstances and be grateful for the health I had left that’s when I began to heal. Like a hero’s journey, in order to be deserving of strength I had to know what life was like without it, so that I would never take it for granted .

A 4mph walk is pretty crazy. That's just about my average jogging pace I think
