The premise is simply that one trains so frequently that when they are faced with something challenging, they do not react, they respond. Their muscle memory takes over to the extent that they can react in the opposite way from most normal (untrained) humans. They are able to run toward the roar instead of the normal reaction of running away from it.

Do you ever wonder if there was a different way to view really thriving and living?
