FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Is it possible that embracing discomfort through unconventional training methods could lead to profound personal transformation beyond physical gains? What if the mental and emotional challenges faced during Fortitude Training are just as crucial to our overall growth as the training itself?",

I would say for myself that discomfort is an intimate part of personal growth.  IMO, the challenges behind the mechanics of the training are the drivers of personal growth.  In fact,  having greater responsiveness to training can actually limit the internal goods that one obtains through training.  If it's not hard, then it's unlikely to evoke insight, growth, perspective, revelation, etc.
