Starting this week…I’m adding something new…and if you’ve got even a shred of fight left in you…you’re going to want it.
I’m calling it The Daily Kick. No fluff. No filler. Just a short…hard-hitting story…a punch of grit and fire…delivered to you seven days a week if you’re a paid subscriber.
You’ll see it either as a stand-alone message that lands in your inbox like a lightning bolt…or as the closer at the bottom of a paid issue of JHN.
For free subscribers? You’ll get a taste…2 or 3 times a week. Enough to feel the heat. But the real arsenal belongs to the inner circle.
The story below is an example of The Daily Kick. Enjoy.
The Man Who Refused to Die in the Desert
In WWII, a pilot crash-landed in the Sahara. No water. No food.
Nothing but sand and sun. Temperatures over 110 by day. Freezing at night. By every measure…he was already dead.
But he didn’t die.
He survived because he didn’t try to solve the impossible. He didn’t waste energy wondering how he’d survive 10 days. He didn’t even wonder how he’d survive one. He simply picked a direction…and crawled.
One mile. Then another. Then another.
Every morning…he set the smallest possible goal: “Just make it to that rock.” When he reached it…he picked another. Over and over. Ten feet at a time.
After days of crawling…half-dead…he stumbled across rescuers. He should have been a skeleton buried in the sand. Instead…he lived…because he shrank survival into a series of immediate…winnable steps.
That’s the secret:
You don’t need the whole map. You don’t need to know how you’ll survive this week… this month…this year. You just need to know the next step.
And then…take it.
Strong until the end…all of us.

Great analogy. There are some days that I wonder how to make it to the next rock.. but here we are! Tx so much!!
“Just know the next step.” Good work, Jack!
