Tyson VS. Jones: 5 Lessons men can learn from Mike Tyson’s comeback

Podcast - The Daily Edge

On November 28, Mike Tyson stepped into the ring for the first time in fifteen years to face Roy Jones, Jr. in an exhibition match. Although he had suffered a humiliating defeat against journeyman fighter Kevin McBride in his last match, Tyson’s biggest opponent was himself. For years, his biggest fear was letting the dark warrior within him take over. He intentionally sedated himself and gained weight. He refused to even pick up the gloves to train in the gym. But at some point in the last few years, he faced his pain.

When Tyson faced his pain, something magical happened. He stopped fighting for himself and started fighting for others. He lost 100 pounds and got in better shape than most people half his age. He entered the ring a warrior, and left the ring a King.

No matter what your age, it’s never too late to start over. It’s never too late to unlock your code to the edge. It’s never too late to get into the best shape of your life and fight the hardest battles, because the hardest battles have the sweetest victories.

You’ve Broken Your New Year’s Resolution Already

If you haven’t made the changes you want to make in your life, what makes you think that an arbitrary date in the calendar will make any difference?

And quite frankly, how do you intend to stick with your changes for 365 days? What’s your plan?

I don’t make resolutions every year. Instead, I break my year down into 100-day chunks. I set the intention for the next 100 days, and I review whether I’ve hit my goals for the previous 100. And then I see where I can do better in the future.

I call this living 100 days at a time. And anyone can do this.

When you live 100 days at a time, you will expand and grow exponentially. When you give yourself a deadline that is doable instead of procrastinating, you get shit done.

Here is what you must do to compound time instead of making new year’s resolutions:
