Durability is physical and emotional toughness that is fostered through deliberate exposure to Hardship and Chaos. It is through Hardship–suffering caused by intense Adversity–that a HIM learns how deep the bottom of his Pain barrel is by finding the point that is just beyond beyond his capacity to tolerate, and pushing through to it. Only then will he know what he is fully capable of. And only then will he be able to begin increasing his Durability by subjecting himself to increasing Hardship. Durability, like everything else, is a condition that is either Accelerating or Decelerating.
How do you develop Durability:
Invite controlled chaos into your life.
Invite situations where you have no control, and dont pursue control
Lives of either rigid control, or complete abstinence while certainly quieter, would not make me truly Content because it would not Accelerate my Durability. In fact, it would make me weak because it would render me incapable of withstanding even the smallest amount of Adversity. Only by subjecting myself to increasing amounts of Chaos (along with Hardship) can I hope to Accelerate my Durability.

After the Monkey Humpers, Alabama Prom Dates, Pickle Pounders, and Crab Walks, the PAX began to wonder about the theme behind the workout. YHC’s only response was, this is not a DORA.
Peaberry joined just in time for the last round of Monkey Humpers. The PAX were very enthusiastic about this exercise so maybe we should do it more often.
Gilligan tried to skip out on the equalizer. But the PAX shame goaded him into getting his beatdown wubbie (AKA his 30 lb ruck sack) and join YHC in a slightly more gravity influenced version of today’s beatdown.
The PAX also discovered today that Mayhem is very in-tune with his crustacean roots. Apparently in a former life he own the food and beverage establishment at the bottom of the sea who employed a star fish and a sea sponge who wore underwear. He somehow managed to spawn a daughter who oddly looked like a whale instead of a crab (because she was a whale). When he wasn’t counting his earning from his lucrative business he dreamed about life on terra firma and imagined what it would be like as an entrepreneur where land lubbers dwell.
These are the facts of the matter and are comprehensive and accurate.
