What happened IN MY HEAD during the Sand Challenge [BTS 57]

I find it intriguing when one challenges himself to a certain extent. And I salute you Mike for being one of those who can dare. Although there could be many ways to test one's physical and mental stamina. I tried joining a group before who promotes FASTING as spiritual purification. I did the FAST for 13 days without taking any solid food. The group could even take 40 days without solid food. But I think, what is important is that YOU LEARN SOMETHING from the experience that you can take for a lifetime with you. I completely agree with you when you conclude your experience as a manifestation of GRATITUDE for the GIFT OF LIFE. Thank you for sharing your very personal insights and your enthusiasm for the ADVENTURES OF LIFE. God bless you always...

"If you're going to try, go all the way." I love that, man. That is something I have tried to live by my entire life. I've never been the type of person to do something halfway because it's easier or more convenient. I always like giving my all, sometimes even to my own detriment at times. Your reasoning for challenging yourself in this way is really interesting. It sounds like a harsh but effective way to train your brain to deal with anxiety in tough and scary moments. And hearing and seeing how you've grown since those two horrible times in your life gives me hope regarding my own situation. You've given me a lot to think about, as always! So inspiring. Can't wait to watch the video of the challenge! 🐉🐉🐉🐉

"Do it all the way." "Gratitude" - - > these are my 2 take away points from what you shared after your 24 hour challenge, Mike. I wish that when I go through moments of discomfort, I would have the consciousness to change my perspective in order to be able to look at a negative or difficult situation as an opportunity to challenge and better myself. More frequently, I am an emotional person but on occasion, I go into deep introspection. I hope to be better at the latter. So you did the buried in the sand challenge, after your eye incident. You are relentless and inspiring, as always! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🐉🐉🐉🐉

...and THANK YOU, MIKE! Just happy you didn't go "ALL THE WAY" and came back alive to share the experience to us dragons. Now, I need to wake up in 7 hours to watch the 'ordeal' and hopefully learn something. Goodnight from Texas. I'm going all the way to lalaland in 3... 2... 1 zzzzzzzzzzzzz🐉
