"How to Overcome Adversity Like a Green Beret"

I put this in quotes to make fun of myself and this kind of headline. 

For whatever reason, people look to the military, especially those who have served in a special operations unit, as subject matter experts on mindset, mental toughness, resiliency, perseverance, etc. The question is often phrased as "How do I overcome and navigate through adversity in my life like you did in whatever I think was 'hard' when you were in yours?". I'm calling out all the fancy, good sounding, politically correct, cleanly packaged and sellable recipes, formulas, rules, and checklists that make for a nice keynote presentation. I will share with you something that works better than whatever doctrine someone repeats. It will likely take you off guard and might even offend you a little a little bit. If it does, you need it more than you know ;)
