Are you living in the present, or are you buried in the past and the future? It is easy to lose sight of the present as we dwell on past mistakes or dream of future achievements. But what if the key to fulfillment lies in mastering each moment as it comes? Today, I am flying solo to talk about a concept I call the 10-second rule–a simple yet powerful approach to living life in real-time. We will explore how embracing this idea can help you stop worrying about the past or obsessing over the future, allowing you to enjoy and grow in the now. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, I will share how focusing on life in 10-second intervals has shifted my perspective, increased my presence, and even helped me handle relationships and conflicts more gracefully. I will also talk about the importance of making the most of every moment and finding pride in the journey and not just the destination. Topics include: The 10-second rule and its role for living in the moment The downside of constantly dwelling on the past The importance of dreaming without attachment to outcomes Finding pride in the process, not just the results Letting go of ego to nurture stronger relationships How focusing on the present fosters personal growth And other topics… Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsors: Timeline - Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.

What happens when the camouflage fades and the real life of a special forces operative is revealed? Can the lessons learned on the battlefield truly translate into everyday life? In a world where many of us face personal challenges and tests of resilience, there is much to be learned from those who have experienced the most extreme forms of pressure. The lessons of endurance, courage, and adaptability gained on the battlefield extend far beyond combat—they offer insights into how we can overcome adversity in everyday life. Clay Martin, a former special forces operative, returns on The Greatness Machine to share his unique perspective on life as a warrior. He opens up about his military experiences, the highs and lows of his careers, and his transition to civilian life. Clay also talks about the impact of leadership, the importance of teamwork, and the invaluable lessons he took away from his time in the field. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined once again by Clay Martin to take an insightful look at the realities of special forces life, breaking down the mental and emotional toll it takes. The conversation also touches on leadership, decision-making under pressure, and camaraderie. Topics include: Military budgets and the cost of specialized training Return on investment (ROI) in high-stakes military operations The complexities and challenges of military intervention The role of Private Military Companies (PMCs) and their contributions The evolution of warfare, including shifts in cost and strategic approaches The enduring, primitive nature of many warfare techniques Clay discusses his various roles and experiences within the military Psychological resilience in the Special Forces community Clay’s personal journey transitioning from military life to civilian life And other topics… Check out Part 1 here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/266-clay-martin-part-1-learnings-from-a-green-beret/id1555334180?i=1000649033529 Connect with Clay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/clay-martin-a26ba616b Twitter: https://twitter.com/wayofftheres Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoompdarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Sponsors: Timeline - Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.
