TGM Classic | Gabrielle “Gabby” Reece | How to Leverage Adaptability to Become A World-Class Sports Icon, Super Model, and Fitness Thought Leader The Greatness Machine

The ability to adapt enhances your capacity to cope with change, regardless of its severity. Being adaptable helps you come up with diverse solutions to problems. It’s also about having the willingness to go the extra mile.

Going the extra mile is not just about feeling better about yourself. It is true that the more we are engaged in activities that enable us to put in our best effort, the better we feel about ourselves. But more than the positive self-image it brings, making a special effort to do and achieve something acts as a positive influence on other people.
