I almost decided to omit this challenge because it’s not strictly about improving yourself. Chapter Four of Goggins’ book is titled Taking Souls. It’s a little over the top, but it’s also revealing. Some of us, at least sometimes, are outward directed in wanting to achieve something.
In this chapter, Goggins describes some of the truly unpleasant tasks he performed during one of his Hell Weeks (he went through three of them). Goggins knew every officer and enlisted man supervising him during Hell Week was looking for a weakness they could exploit. Goggins turned the tables from what should have been an inferior position. He not only did what he was assigned, he did more and/or did it with more energy and enthusiasm than the instructors could stand. Along the way, they realized they could not break him and would sit him out of some of it. Goggins calls this taking souls.
Goggins’ fourth challenge, summarized, (from his book) is this:
Challenge #4 – Choose any competitive situation you are in right now. Who is your opponent? Is it your teacher or coach, your boss, an unruly client? No matter how they are treating you there is one way to not only earn their respect, but turn the tables, excellence.
That may mean acing an exam, or crafting the idea proposal, or smashing a sales goal. Whatever it is, I want you to work harder on that project or in that class than you ever have before. Do everything exactly as they ask, and whatever standard they set as an ideal outcome, you should be aiming to surpass that.
Whoever you are dealing with, your goal is to make them watch you achieve what they could never have done themselves. You want them thinking how amazing you are. Take their negativity and use it to dominate their task with everything you’ve got. Take their motherfucking soul?
Some of you contrarians will retort you don’t care what other people think and you are not exercising to impress anyone else. Fine. What if you are your own worst opponent? What is your worst criticism of yourself? What do you tell yourself you can’t do? Now, aim to surpass it.
This week’s music.
Type O did a power ballad? Huh.
I thought it was good. I especially liked the lead vocals getting shared.
Yeah. I liked it.

Holy cow!
Oh, goodness.
I don’t know if the situation that is consuming all my brain power at the moment is so much competitive as it is just stupid. It is about work and that fact alone pisses me off. Why am I thinking about work when I am not at work? Thanks Chafed. I might just own some souls when this is over. I forgot that bit in Goggins book.
Thumbs up on the music!
Thanks sloper. I have the same thing going on. FWIW, I have taken to journaling. I don’t do it every day. More like as needed. It has been of some help.
I journal, and when I finish a notebook, I go back and read it, recap it in the new notebook. Great way to find patterns in behavior, changes in priorities, progress, improvements, stagnation, decline, and why. I do a lot of stream of consciousness writing. I mostly write in long-hand. It forces me to think about the heart of a matter. Also, it’s more visceral, and I remember it longer.
Thanks Chafed,
I haven’t read Goggins but most of my life I worked happy and let the results illustrate my efforts. I wouldn’t have done well in a union. First day on a union job I was the Blaster’s Helper. I filled the holes after he charged them. About 2 hours in he told me to slow down, we had to make the job last all day.
After a few months and a couple promotions I left to move on to new challenges.
Smart move Fourscore. I’m the same way. I think that’s why I struck out on my own.
This was a perfect one for me this week. We just started our hockey season. This year our A team is looking pretty light. We only have one Paralympic player, and we’ll play teams with 3 or 4 or more. Gonna be rough. Our Paralympic guy has little patience for people not at his level. At practice when I screwed up (which was often) he gave a shitty remark. So that’s my opponent.
Somebody needs to read Glibstoic.
Good call
Seconded
My family drama is pretty mich over for a while, so I’m going back to my medical coding course, which seems to be beyond my comprehension. I am feeling quite inadequate.
So this was timely. I’ve always thought of this “taking of souls” as punching THROUGH the target, not AT the target.
Good to hear that the family thing has worked it’s way through the system. My kids are much older but I still feel the burdens of some of their problems. Once you get restarted in your school work you’ll remember some and it’ll start to fall into place.
The kid at Penn that dropped out of his senior year owing a 100K has a lifetime problem.
Good reminder.
My mother is my sounding board. I shouldn’t burden her with it, but she’s got a few years on me, so I figure she knows more and can give me good advice.
My friend Laura finished her medical coding course. If she did it, you can definitely do it. I believe in you!
Best of luck. I’m glad you can devote a little time to your studies. I know a lot about family drama.
Thanks. I didn’t really want to talk about it this weekend, but everyone is where they are supposed to be for at least the next year.
That’s good. Hopefully it means you get a year of peace.
If we’re super lucky, 18 months.
Fingers crossed 🤞
“My family drama is pretty much over for a while”
That’s good. Now you can exhale and get back on track. Medical coding (and just about anything else) is much easier absent distractions.
Good to hear the drama is going away.
👍 I hate drama.
” I’m going back to my medical coding course, which seems to be beyond my comprehension. I am feeling quite inadequate.”
No offense, but bullshit. You can knock that crap on its head. I have dealt with med coders…you have twice the brains most of them have. Get to it!

Nice!
Pot roast is cooking on stove here. Considering making cream corn to go with it.
Little steaks and some squash with rosemary here. Happy for it.
Fooooood!
Today I made some dove breast sliders. Pan seared dove breast on a butter toasted brioche roll. Add bacon, roasted jalapeno, and sauteed balsamic onions. One side of the roll spread with fig jam. Other side spread with chevre.
It’s sweet, spicy, savory, tangy perfection
How do you catch a dove?! 🙂
Those guys land on my fire escape or windowsills all the time.
Dove hunting my way: mention you like dove but don’t have enough time to hunt. Then students bring me dove to eat. Very successful hunt for me!
Tiny drumsticks! Squee!
I haven’t had dove since I left TX about 40 years ago. Fun to hunt, lots of shooting, lots of missing. We have a few (very few) around my house in the spring, I like the cooing in the morning.
So….can’t t make HH, but how do you feel about a mid January meet for an evening. You and I need a long talk, Major.
Hi Swissie,
Januarys are unpredictable weatherwise. You would be welcome and hopefully could RON. It would be a great way to break up a winter for us. You might even get stuck for a day or two.
What does this Goggins fella have to say about those people who see excellence as a threat? The ones that use politics to rid themselves of their more meritorious competitors?
Huh? Excellence is excellence. It should be neither a threat, nor an inducement. You should never be pressured to excel, however, some of what you do may result in excellence. If not, no big deal.
I’m talking about mediocre people who view excellence as a threat and spend their time & energy trying to sabotage the excellent.
Surely you’ve encountered such people?

The way the story about boot camp was told, Goggins talked about “taking souls” through just being A+ at everything he was asked to do. Going above and beyond doesn’t always result in respect/soul-taking when you’e dealing with the type of people I was describing.
Soul-taking is difficult when your opponent has no soul.
Ayup
Yes.
I agree KK. Being that this was BUD/S (aka SEAL school) striving for excellence was expected. I don’t think there is any part of his book dealing with some mediocrity holding you down. My guess is Goggins would tell you to leave and find a position/start your own company where you can thrive.
Catch-up post for the day.
Why is it always Mercury in retrograde? Never Venus, Mars, Jupiter???
Stopped by the 3rd of the 3 new Mexican joints that opened locally since the beginning of the year for lunch – really good. Actually they’re all pretty good IMO (still kinda weird that the only new restaurants to open in our smallish town this year – aside from a brewery w/ kitchen – have been Mexican joints). Nice to have some selection though – and I’ll eat at all of them again going forward. Hope they stay in business.
Since I’m still driving over to Cville periodically for appts, etc – decided to go ahead and start signing up for ($$$) medical studies as well – several of them are fitness related. May post some updates on them as I get a few more details and participate.
Lastly..didn’t see anyone post this yet today:
https://twitter.com/GhostGcom/status/1569000592592314369?cxt=HHwWgoC93bvumsYrAAAA (great vid)
I thought it was because Mercury orbits inside us but… so does Venus. I took an astronomy class a few centuries ago but forgot, well, all of it.
That was excellence. You want to know how to handle
toxic people? Learn from that. Remain calm, remain stable. Always.
Agent: well, you’re obviously going to be on our radar now
Me? I would likely ask for their card and say “ok, so you’re on mine”
But that would likely needlessly escalate things.
That was excellent. Those agents were trying to bait him into giving them an excuse to jump his ass, and he wasn’t having any of it.
Jupiter IS moving retrograde currently as is Saturn.
The reasons they don’t get as much press is:
1) Their retrograde periods last a long time, so talking about it gets tedious and repetitive. <– this is the main reason
2) The meanings behind their retrograde motion are so common you'd assume the never are in direct motion.
You are not lame. Shed that moniker.

My weight loss goals are really not working right now. Not exactly sure what it is.
They were working pretty well a year ago – recently realized that one difference is that during that time, I would get up, eat (wait a couple hours) and then workout before going to work.
This past month, I’ve been doing – get up, workout (on empty stomach), protein shake, wait a bit – eat something (not that much most times), then go to work.
Not really sure why that’s so much different….I’ve have noticed that my appetite has been dropping/leveling off significantly (may be related to medication or just age) – which isn’t a bad thing in itself. Of course…I feel that I *should* eat something in addition to my shake pre-work…even though I haven’t been as hungry. (frozen atkins meal, etc) – and the last few weeks I haven’t even been eating that much at work – skipped my tuna, applesauce and atkins bar most nights).
Trying to figure out a good option – maybe just a small salad – but I may also try just not eating anything before heading to the office if I don’t feel like I need it…. Some constipation as well…but I would still expect the overall weight to drop. We’ll see how things work out the next few weeks. I’ll be doing more lipid/cholesterol testing the next few weeks before an appt in Oct – but my physical a couple weeks ago showed excellent blood pressure, no pre-diabetes concerns or anything else…
If you are low-carbing and have been for a while, you might not be eating enough. At some point, LC becomes severely calorie self-limiting. Or I might have just put my foot in my mouth, so …
My intent is always to “low-carb” but I haven’t really cut out sugars or related things that much (haven’t really done serious carb counting since 2020) – I like small servings of chips/pretzels pretty regularly (small tupperware containers make serving control pretty easy most of the time), or some pringles, etc.
I mean…maybe this time around I’m actually developing a bit more muscle too – esp with starting to integrate dead lift type exercises….but not sure.
Hmm… I just finished reading Presto! and I recommend it, albeit with a grain of salt. If you can ignore “I’m an atheist” or “I love sex” shtick, there’s some meat (pun intended) there.
If your diet is on the web, I’ll be happy to review it and give you my thoughts. On the other hand, only ridiculously strange people post their diet on the web..
FWIW, like Penn, I am eating “whole” plants and I think it’s good for me. He doesn’t exercise much, but I do. I can write a book (and maybe I will) about the benefits I think I gain from my diet, but even if I’m wrong, it seems pretty hard for me to believe that my diet has held me back much, considering some of my accomplishments.
FWIW, SP’s plant-based diet is what got me posting on this site. Were it not for her, I’d probably just lurk.
I replied much earlier, but my reply had three links in it, so it got sent to moderation … and the moderators are asleep. So, here’s the reply with only one link:

I have reservations at 2 RV parks for winter – 1 hell & gone downstate SC, 1 closer in Fountain Inn, SC. The one in Fountain Inn wants $700/mo and they don’t even have laundry! That’s a last resort.
I’m on the waitlist at 2 others close by in SC, so please keep your fingers crossed I can get into one!
Are you a Good Sam member? Their website was quite useful when we were traveling.
Good luck!
I’ve got every RV app known to man, and am a Good Sam and KOA member
I can always go to the one that’s far away downstate and keep working the phones to find a spot upstate
Just go to the blue city of your choice and camp wherever you want to.
Lol
Just FYI: I’m expecting a visit from you at some point.
It’s flipping gorgeous up here.
NY? What’s the dealio with having a loaded pew pew on my rig?
They don’t want your kind up there,
Does it count as your home, and does that matter for search purposes?
I can only speak to what I’ve known which is cowboy shooters driving in from all over the US to shoot at the club across the street.
In that case, there is a provision for having NY-unregistered firearms as long as you’re within 48 hours of a “legitimate” (read: NRA sanctioned, LEO, DodD) event that you are registered to participate in. The problem with using SASS shooters as a model is that none of their guns would be considered ASSAULT WEPONZ under the NYSAFE act.
Good luck!
Remember that the Moose Lodge is cheap and easy to join and has an extensive RV park network across the US.
I’ll check them out! Thanks!
Wow, filling up so soon? Although I don’t know how those things go.
I assume you’re replying to me…yeah, I’m a little surprised. FL or AZ or TX I can understand, but upstate SC? Weird.
Do you have surveillance in my house, motherfucker?
I really need to start taking some souls. Super unhappy with my professional world right now, so I’m gonna re-read that chapter. Thanks!
Glibfit was decent this week. My son decided to start lifting, so he’s been coming over, which has been a blast. He’s too scrawny, but surprisingly strong. I hope he sticks with it.
I’m going to do another 30 day reset, so I’m getting ready for that. Focus is on not missing a workout, hitting my protein goals and not boozing.
That sucks, of course. For those of you who want to know, Huberman did a whole show on booze.

I am so goddamn sick of packaging rights into tribal packages. I ran a 9/11 memorial shoot and the club prexy shouting “WE BACK THE BLUE!” into the mic pissed me TF off. It was nice seeing that I could probably take local LE in a gunfight tho.
I love my dog, and she has so many talents I’ll never be able to put to good use. And I had her spayed so she won’t be passing these traits on. The most recent valuable characteristic she’s revealed: she loves the fuck out of truffles.
More importantly – can she find them?
Imma guessing yes, based on how she can find chipmunks and anything else she’s interested in.
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard this monologue at the dog park:
*Lily sits daintily in front of someone, gazes up adoringly*
“Lily, why are you looking at me like that? I don’t have any treats. No really I don’t have anything to give you. Here, look see? There’s nothing… oh. I forgot I had these.”
lol
Chocolate? Or the expensive dirt berries?
The latter. I was walking her through the farmer’s market. Ususally she’s well-behaved, maybe pulling a little her and there, but this week she went bonkers at one of the cheesemongers, who just happened to have a truffle cheese for the first time.
Oh, okay, because chocolate truffles would be really bad for her.
Not sure if HM’s YT channel or not…

It looks like Dallas is off to a mediocre season.
Also Brady doesn’t look distracted by his marital troubles.
something something sick of his shit
I’m guessing when he realized that he was going to have to spend more time with Gisele when he retired, he un-retired.
Sick of her shit??
I can’t decide which one of those two is more insufferable.
I didn’t realize Brady had been retired for 40 days. He’s like Jesus.

I remember watching footballl.

FWIW, I haven’t seen any BLM nonsense.

I was a long time 49ers fan.
I remember The Catch.
I remember them losing to the Giants in the ’86 playoffs thanks to Jim Burt’s excessive hit.
I remember the glory years of Walsh & Montana.
I remember Jim Harbaugh throwing aside Alex Smith, costing the 49ers a championship or three, and opening the door for WokeNFL.
I remember watching football.
I have not in 4 years.
I don’t miss it.
But you do you.
Then you missed the 49ers game today. The announcers spent the first three quarters talking about how the Niners had the top players in the league at every position, they were going to the Super Bowl, and how terrible the Chicago Bears are. But then, oops, the Bears won.
Sounds like I made the right choice.
Santa Clara 49ers doesn’t quite have the same ring.
That, too.
Same. Once you lose the interest, it never really comes back.

Now she does political consulting.

Something ain’t right. NYC is just as pro-criminal as anyone now. WTF is going on in Philadelphia? And some of these other cities that are “most murdery ever”?
Maybe it’s Alvin Bragg getting push back on his ridiculous policies. It seems like Krasner and Foxx can do what they want.
There is that but honestly I think NYC is just not as gangy as it used to be.

great podcast
I seldom enjoy hearing something that I already know, but that part of the show doesn’t bother me somehow. The interlocking of languages we get, the general history we know, but the sleuthing that deduces how and where words were born and moved and why pronunciations changed is fascinating.
All I’m seeing is a map.

Thanks. I took History of the English Language in Uni. Should’ve been interesting, but the professor was a scatter brained grad school gal. Government education has the ability to take any subject and make it boring and incomprehensible.
I had a philosophy prof in college who was so boring he made the book exciting.
The only kinds of philosophy I found interesting were philosophy of science and philosophy of mathematics. I could never bring myself to care about the more general kind of philosophy.
I prefer the more general kind, as I find math to be quite boring. Not hard mind you, just uninteresting.
#metoo
The prof was decent enough but the material was interesting enough on its own.
I know I’m repeating myself, but you should read “The Horse, the Wheel, and Language.”
It’s chock full of archaeology and linguistics. Speculates on the evolution of Indo-European languages and how the domestication of the horse and invention of the chariot spread those languages around.
Huh.

Dallas is going to have to make some big changes. They look awful.
Mike McCarthy is not likely going to keep his job at this rate, and they need to trade for a serviceable QB.
Agreed on McCarthy. Didn’t Jerry Jones agree to a significant pay increase and contract extension for Prescott last season?
Annual warning to all that week 1 of the NFL season is often fucking weird and that results mean far less than people think. A lot of what we saw today is merely a mirage. Some of it will clear up by next week, and some of it within a few weeks.
And some of it is a preview of things to come. If you know which is which, you can make a fortune at the sports book.
As a Pats fan, I’m used to the Week 8 team looking very different than Week 1.
They looked like ass today, but we’ll see.
I have no cause for complaint if they remain terrible for years – it was 20 years of dominance.
“You’re gonna win so much, you’re gonna get tired of winning.”
Not tired, just not greedy.
Last 20 years have been bananas for Boston sports. Just an avalanche of titles.

So why are you at a Fetterman rally? Did you have a stroke too?

Sorry, my Universal Translator is saying that’s gibberish. If the opposing candidate was anyone but Oz he/she’d win in a walk.

Back to work for me after an extra long weekend. Payroll AND a new hire starting today, plus goodness knows how many e-mails after two days off. Gotta especially be on the lookout for any that say “XYZ is no longer an employee.” 🙄
Morning.
Good luck at work.
Thanks! It shouldn’t be too hateful, and Reliable Coworker is always ready to help with things like the Monday Mountain of Mail, so I’ve got this! 🙂 Hope you enjoy your day!
I’m recovering from the irritation from having to listen to the “news” in the breakfast room downstairs. I woke up at 6:07 only vaguely remembering turning off the alarm at 5. And I’m still getting my mind in order.
Please remember to keep that mind order stuff to the minimum necessary. Remember – you’re on vacation!
Mornin’, GT. As long as XYZ != GT, you should be fine.
Mornin glibs, how’s the world out there?
I donno, I lowered the hotel room blackout curtains. Let me check what’s beyond them….
Looks like the Waffle House hasn’t moved, so I’m still okay.
If you’re going to eat there bring Tums.
If your stomach is so easily upset, have you gotten it checked out by a doctor? Frequent heartburn was the warning sign of gall bladder problems for me, and could also indicate an ulcer.
Oh you meant at the Waffle House.
I’m still half asleep. No, I’m not planning on visiting the Waffle House
Cloudy and on the cool side down here. One of these days I may actually have to put on a jacket. How ’bout up yonder?
Clear as a bell, but more rain expected,
Looks fine either way
Enjoy the mail!
I’m good, but the world is a ghetto.

Drizzly. And not the fun kind.
Mornin’, reprobates!
Good morning, ‘patzie! What are you enjoying this fine day?
Mornin’, GT. Tall French Roast and some fine smoke in the 30 yr old James Upshall. How long does it take to go through the emails after you’ve been away for a few days?
Hard to tell, just because there are bound to be any number of interruptions in the process. We’re talking dozens, not hundreds, fortunately, and most will be ones I can ignore – from the local florist I use, from Land’s End where we get out corporate logo-wear, and a lot of stuff addressed to “Employees” but that doesn’t apply to me because I’m unique! 😉

You forgot the homicidal urges. Always beware of homicidal urges.

hypermelanism?
One giant freckle?
So thats what wrong with me….
Lol, at first I thought you were going, but this is actually real.
Going… Joking*
Wait, did someone steal our medicine name?
Don’t take Creantix if you are allergic to Creantix.
Great write up, thanks chafed.
I was wondering why I hadn’t heard from these guys in a while. They need mo’ money, and Chuckles is on the case.

I see an opportunity here. Big Pharma should fund this, using the profits they
madeare making on ginned-up health crises. Still be plenty left over forinvestorsDC insiders.Maybe writing a blank check for anyone and everyone who has ever been south of Canal Street wasn’t such a great idea.
