Jeff Haden, Contributing Editor: You said during your BUD/S (SEAL training) you were constantly doubting yourself. How did you push through those moments?
Sean Haggerty, Navy Seal: Don't confuse doubting yourself with accepting failure.
Everyone questions whether they can actually accomplish something difficult while they're doing it. That's normal.
The best thing I did was to decide that I was going to go to the absolute extreme, even if I doubted myself. I basically told myself that no matter what, I wouldn't quit. I doubted myself a number of times, but then I put away and thought, "If I fail, I fail...but what I will never do is quit."
That attitude pushes you past a limit you think you have...but you really don't.
