Deaf reset 2025. This is a commitment. So a commitment. Commitments scare people. They make people scared. But this is a commitment that's going to make you better. Now, I was thinking about the commitments I've made in my life. One of them, when I was pretty young, I wanted to join the Navy. I wanted to be a seal. And you go and talk. I went and talked to the recruiter and you get presented, okay, here's what it's going to take. You want to be a seal? Cool. Yeah, no problem. And the recruiter, of course, they're saying, oh, you're going to make a great seal. They have no idea. They don't think you're going to make it. But they're not going to say that, hey, you're going to make a great seal. Here's all it's going to take. Sign this piece of paper. Six year commitment of your life. Six year commitment. By the way, I'm 18, so this is a third of my life. Six years is a long time when you're 18, by the way. 80% attrition rate, by the way. People get injured and don't make it. Or you go to war, you get wounded, you get killed, you're going on deployments, you don't have any idea what's going to happen. But I knew that that's what I had to do to get where I wanted to be. I had to make that commitment. Now what's nice is when you're in the military and you sign that line, guess what? You raise your hand, you make the commitment. You literally swear an oath. That is a commitment. So it can be nerve wracking when people get asked to make a commitment. There are a lot of things like this, right? Where look. You ever known someone's getting married?

You ever seen someone get nervous about it?

Yeah. So that happens. Why? Because it's a huge commitment. Some people back away from the whole thing, leave people at the altar, hey, I'm out. Yeah, this just wasn't going to happen, so. That's because there's a commitment there and people are scared of commitment. Even with something like the death reset, which is a commitment for the month of January, it's a commitment. And sometimes people get scared of that. Even a 30 day commitment. Look, not a six year commitment like joining the Navy, not a lifetime commitment like getting married, but a 30 day commitment. People are scared of that. I'm kind of glad that they're a little bit scared of it because if they were just throwing the commitment out there and not being worried about breaking the commitment. And they don't care about it. It doesn't really matter. But people also put little qualifiers in there around trying to get better. Like maybe I'll go to the gym tomorrow. You know what I'm saying? Maybe. That maybe can be pretty big. Or I might go to Jiu Jitsu in the morning. Have you ever had someone say that to you? Yeah, sure, I might be there, bro. Tell me you might be somewhere. You either show up or don't show up.
