This video is the first lesson of the "Domine a sua mente" event. Ernesto Reis, a former Major in the Brazilian army and current US army spouse, discusses the three pillars of the special forces mindset: mentality, maturity, and motivation. He explains these concepts and their application to overcoming challenges and achieving goals in civilian life. The video also promotes his "Pense como Forças Especiais" (Think like Special Forces) program.
Mentality: The special forces motto, "Ser mais do que parecer" (To be more than to seem), emphasizes authenticity over outward appearances. Growth involves five phases: learning, experimenting, executing, struggling, and becoming. Pain is a crucial part of growth, indicating areas needing transformation.
Motivation: Motivation isn't about fleeting enthusiasm but finding purpose in the journey. Three types of motivation exist: external (reward/punishment), internal goal-oriented, and internal journey-based (finding meaning in the process). Service-oriented motivation is particularly powerful and sustainable.
Maturity: Maturity isn't about age or achievements, but reacting constructively without needing external validation. It involves overcoming the fear of disapproval and learning to say "no" appropriately. Routine and consistent effort are essential for building a solid foundation in life.
Procrastination: Procrastination stems from a lack of direction and clarity, not laziness. A structured mental framework is needed to sustain goals. The "Pense como Forças Especiais" program provides this framework.
"Pense como Forças Especiais" Program: This program offers a structured methodology for developing a resilient mindset, drawing on the experiences and principles of special forces. It includes modules, live sessions, and a supportive community.
