0:00

Your mind is still soft.

0:03

It's hard for me to respect people Who

0:06

are able to come in to that

0:08

world and leave? This is a f***ing

0:10

lifestyle, man. And people wonder why

0:13

am I not achieving more? And

0:15

we wonder why don't I have drive anymore?

0:17

Where's it all at? If you

0:19

don't develop a routine of Suffering

0:23

and suffering not like go out and kill yourself every

0:25

day. It's being uncomfortable That

0:27

keeps you hungry every day if you

0:29

live in your victories for so long and

0:31

say I'm gonna go challenge myself for 30 days

0:33

Or for two weeks or one this run this

0:36

one marathon And it

0:38

is I did one marathon That's

0:40

why it leaves you it

0:43

leaves you because you haven't set up the next

0:45

obstacle Obstacles is how you

0:47

grow you must continue to have

0:49

friction Friction is where growth is

0:51

at no friction. There's no growth These

0:54

people go to the gym. They get big

0:56

they get jacked. They can run fast all

0:58

that shit But the only thing they're

1:01

doing is they're coding over The

1:03

mind all you're doing

1:05

is building a bigger stronger quitter

1:08

Your mind hasn't gotten any stronger because you haven't

1:10

gone back in there and dealt with shit So

1:12

a second adversity comes like my god. I'm

1:15

so f***ing fit. What's wrong? Your

1:17

mind is still soft You

1:20

cannot live in that normal mindset. You

1:22

must be your best on

1:25

your worst day And how you

1:27

do that is you cannot

1:29

think of a normal mindset Can

1:32

I have a normal mindset? And

1:34

I'll never forget I found

1:39

Such peace and beauty and I

1:41

got there I was in worst pain in my Life

1:44

and I got down in my wife pulled the car up

1:46

on the my ex-wife Pulled the car

1:48

up on this little lawn and

1:51

I got in the back of it and I got

1:53

the stairs I'm not gonna go through the whole story, but

1:55

I remember laying in the in the tub and

1:57

she put the shower on me and And

2:00

I ran 101 miles in like 19 hours. And I

2:02

was like peeing dirt out of me. And

2:05

I'm sitting there and I'm jackhammering and my

2:08

body is just the most broken it's

2:10

ever been, even to this day. And

2:13

this feeling came over me. Call it crazy if

2:15

you want, but very few people, I guarantee you've

2:17

ever felt this before, to push themselves so far

2:19

outside of what they thought was even possible, even

2:21

for me. I laid in

2:23

that tub and I didn't want

2:25

it to go away. I

2:28

had drained myself of every bit

2:30

of strength, energy I had. It

2:35

was the best feeling I had in my life, all that pain. It

2:39

was confirmation. It

2:42

was confirmation that I had gone

2:44

through a crucible and

2:46

I figured out another level of

2:48

David Goggins. A level that

2:50

I thought was humanly impossible for anybody to

2:52

do. When I was at mile

2:54

70, hit and pissed all over myself and

2:57

had 30 more miles to go. And I was damn

2:59

near dead. And I was able to

3:01

go 31 more miles. In

3:04

that process of the next 31 more miles, I

3:07

found out more about myself in that 31 miles than

3:10

ever have in my entire life. The

3:13

conversations, the mental blocks,

3:16

the roadblocks, everything

3:18

horrible. It was just feeding

3:20

at me at that night speed. Get the out

3:23

of here, man. I was able

3:25

to figure out different tactics. And

3:28

when I finally got done with that, I laid in that tub and

3:30

it was over. The feeling

3:32

of my God, man, you just really discovered

3:35

a whole new world, a

3:37

whole new part of the brain that

3:40

guaranteed very few people have. So

3:43

it's a feeling I can't even describe.

3:46

You learn from people who are willing

3:48

to tell you, this is where

3:50

I started from. This is how much

3:52

I fell on my ass. This is how bad I used

3:55

to really be. I still have those

3:57

moments because why? You're human. We're

4:00

all jacked up man. We're all jacked

4:02

up and that's what makes my story

4:05

relatable. I'm willing to let you in

4:07

to see I'm decently successful now. I

4:10

didn't come out like this man. I

4:13

didn't come out that's the story is

4:15

you have to get people just a little

4:17

bit of hope. There's no

4:19

hope when they see greatness

4:21

in you everywhere. You have

4:23

to be able to get yourself down to

4:25

a level of check it out man. There's

4:28

hope for you. That's what I'm trying to give you.

4:31

Just a little bit. I

4:34

think pushing yourself physically is the number

4:37

one factor of life. That

4:41

is the true spot where you

4:43

can really dive deep into

4:45

life's about self-discipline. It

4:48

is about self-discipline. We tend to do the

4:50

things that are easy and

4:53

that is it builds no mental toughness.

4:55

It builds no mental hardening. It builds

4:57

nothing. When you work

4:59

out, working out is where

5:01

you can build that to fastest because

5:04

it's a constant. It gives you instant feedback.

5:07

Yeah you may not lose the weight you

5:09

want you real fast but the discipline it

5:12

takes it transfers over it to all aspects

5:14

of your life. It's not

5:16

people man why are you always working out. Stop

5:19

looking at that way. This

5:22

is the foundation of life. The

5:25

first thing you see is your reflection. If

5:27

you don't like what you see in the morning you've

5:29

lost the war already. It's not

5:31

even liking what you see. It's about looking

5:34

in the mirror and you may start man I feel

5:36

different. That reflection is not everything. It's a

5:38

feeling you're supposed to get. In

5:41

life once you leave your house the war begins.

5:44

In your house you have some control and

5:47

that reflection in the mirror you have to control that

5:49

reflection in the mirror. That's how you start your day.

5:51

Leave your house feel like okay I can fight. I've

5:55

established the mentality to fight and

5:57

all that comes from working out. not

6:00

just from, you know, you can't find that in the

6:02

office. I honestly want to

6:04

be considered one of the hardest men to walk the

6:06

planet earth in the history of the world. And

6:10

by hard, I'm not talking about the guy who got

6:12

the most production, the most of us, the most of

6:14

us. Just

6:16

the person who's able to overcome any

6:19

adversity in front of us, to figure

6:21

out a way. Hardness

6:23

isn't about all this

6:25

physical stuff, man. Yeah, it's helped me

6:27

get to where I'm at. But

6:29

all I was doing in the whole process,

6:32

the process wouldn't be ripped. It wouldn't walk

6:34

around my shirt off. That wasn't it. I

6:36

knew through the physical challenges, through

6:39

the physical suffering, my

6:41

mind was getting stronger. I was

6:43

literally doing that for a reason. I

6:45

had a weak mind. All

6:48

the rest just happened to come with it. I

6:51

was trying to strengthen the mind to handle

6:54

all the judgment that's passed on

6:56

me. Perceived and not. Sometimes you

6:58

make it up in your own head. You

7:00

know, I just want to be able to

7:02

handle all of that. Everything,

7:05

physical, mental. I

7:07

want to be perceived as that. Like the

7:09

old school barbarian, old school guy, that's like,

7:11

God, dog, man. Nothing

7:13

can hurt the guy, which is why the book

7:15

is titled Can't Hurt Me. I

7:18

want people to have that mantra in their

7:20

life. Take that with you. Take it everywhere

7:23

you go in life. And

7:25

if you believe that and you work towards

7:27

that, callous in your mind, strengthen

7:29

yourself, can't hurt me as strong.

7:32

In any situation, like when I was in buzz, they beat

7:34

the shit out of you. I'd be

7:36

the first one to give a shit, they can't hurt me, motherfucker. And

7:39

they were beating the hell out of me. But

7:41

you say that enough to you. False motivation becomes

7:43

a real motivation after a while.

7:46

They can't see themselves doing it. They

7:49

can't see themselves doing it. It's one big reason. The

7:52

other reason is a lot of it is jealousy.

7:55

When you set these humongous goals

7:58

and they see that you're getting at it. And

8:00

every morning I'm getting up training for a 200

8:02

mile run and you see

8:04

me give at 4 o'clock in the morning and All

8:07

you workers are sleeping and by the time I get

8:09

done running my 30 you come I come home just

8:11

getting up How are you gonna feel about yourself?

8:15

A lot of times when you're overachiever a

8:17

lot of our family members a lot of our

8:19

friends They're mediocre. There's always those

8:21

couple of guys who are uncommon who

8:23

want to be better But you

8:25

make that mediocre mother feel like it Whether

8:28

it's your mom your dad whoever you

8:31

make him feel horrible. I've been there I'm speaking

8:33

from experience you get somebody around you

8:35

man who's trying to be better and you

8:37

don't have the drive that they have It's

8:39

a constant reminder of how stuff you are

8:43

You have to know that that's what it is Anybody

8:46

in your course not saying man get after but I'm

8:48

so proud of you They have

8:50

a problem with themselves because all you try to

8:52

do is achieve more if that's a

8:54

problem for somebody You have

8:56

to look at them and say man You

8:59

really have a problem with yourself, huh?

9:02

It's much deeper than what you think it

9:04

lies deep in your soul How long is it gonna

9:06

fix myself? Was I saw

9:08

how ugly I was towards other people who

9:10

were great. I Was

9:13

able to look back and say man, you

9:15

don't hate that much for any reason because he's

9:17

great and you're lazy You're

9:20

lazy. He makes you feel

9:22

like shit every single day

9:25

So it comes from you gotta know you

9:27

have to know where it comes from to

9:29

be able to solve it. I Can't

9:34

get a break in life Hate

9:36

that damn entirely but I can't get a break. You

9:39

aren't giving any blips in life. You

9:41

make them for yourself We are

9:43

all being tested in life While

9:45

my trust is different than yours You

9:47

will be tested and how you

9:50

face that test and how you overcome

9:52

that test Determine the rest of your life

9:55

The one mentality that you must have in life

9:57

is that regardless of which is for you use?

10:02

I'm never being the olympic, I'm never being the

10:04

special actress, but still I grind. I

10:07

still have most things I do, but

10:09

still I grind. I don't want to do

10:11

half the shit I do, but still I

10:14

grind. In that one day,

10:16

you see me in a dark alley, one

10:18

at one o'clock in the morning, no one stayed. I

10:22

was blinded. Stay

10:26

hard. The acceptance is one thing that killed me. You

10:30

have to learn what

10:32

you want in your life. We

10:35

have so much influence coming at

10:37

us that we are so lost. We don't

10:39

know what we want to do because we

10:41

don't spend enough time with ourselves. You

10:44

have to learn to shut off a phone,

10:47

shut off a computer, shut off a TV,

10:49

and it's okay to sit in a room

10:51

by yourself in a chair and just

10:53

think about you, where

10:55

I want to be. Where do I

10:57

see myself tomorrow, the next year, the next year

10:59

from that? It takes a

11:02

lot of self-discipline to be able to do that

11:04

nowadays because you want to be so

11:06

attached to everything. You want to be so caught up with

11:08

the world. The world is moving too fast.

11:11

The world is moving so fast that you're trying to keep

11:13

up to the point where you lose yourself in

11:16

the world. So, you have to take

11:18

that time to go to that dark place in your mind and

11:20

discover who you are. When

11:22

we think about all those people in the States, we

11:25

think everybody got big long roles yet.

11:28

Text people, give a call.

11:32

This whole person we leave out, that's

11:35

ourselves. We

11:38

forget about all these fucking men,

11:41

single moms, single

11:43

dads, that the people here are

11:45

going to lose roles and hold

11:48

hands. We forget about

11:50

the hidden work that we put in, the

11:52

work that nobody's watching. We

11:55

forget about all those times. We

11:57

didn't want to do shit. We

12:00

live life, thinking everybody in

12:03

the fucking world. But

12:06

the one person that's building the glutton is

12:09

yourself. Most of

12:11

you think it's not so hard. In

12:15

my what avenue I choose, I want to

12:17

be the very best. And the very best

12:20

may not be I'm number one.

12:22

The very best

12:24

is that I leave everything inside

12:26

of me out there. So

12:30

attacking is not like I want to win this or

12:32

win that or be the best. The

12:34

best is I'm running against myself in everything

12:36

I do. And

12:39

that's why I attack myself.

12:42

I'm always questioning myself. I'm

12:44

always holding myself accountable. Talk to me about

12:46

the accountability mirror. So

12:48

the accountability mirror is something that I kind

12:51

of came up with in high school. Like

12:54

I said, I started shaving my head when I was 16. And

12:57

I got caught up in trying to impress so many

12:59

people because no one liked me. So

13:01

I developed so many different identities. Let

13:04

me sag my pants. You

13:06

know, let me pull my pants up. Let

13:08

me talk this way or act this way or be

13:11

this way or whatever the hell it may be. God,

13:13

there are so many different things I did to try

13:15

to fit in with so many different groups. That

13:20

when you look in the mirror, that's the one person you can't lie

13:22

to. So every morning I

13:24

would shave my head thinking, God, I'll reflect back

13:26

on some of the lies I may have

13:28

told somebody or some of the ways I acted. I

13:31

didn't feel comfortable doing. And

13:33

I did it to impress other normal people.

13:36

The key where there's normal everyday people. I was

13:38

trying to make other people like me.

13:41

How pathetic is that? So

13:45

this mirror would always tell me, like

13:47

my reflection would say, God, you are an

13:49

aesthetic man. How does that feel

13:51

everyday to be this way? So I would

13:54

just start having myself accountable. How

13:56

did I attack today? How did

13:58

I attack yesterday? And if I didn't

14:00

do something I was proud of, I'd write down a

14:02

sticky note, and I would fix

14:04

it. So then

14:07

my senior year in high school, it

14:09

was a totally different David God. I

14:13

wanted to fit the cool God lunch table, man. You

14:15

know, everybody was calling me in this town. I

14:17

wanted to try to act like somebody

14:19

I wasn't, so I could fit in. And

14:23

I sold my soul to the devil,

14:25

trying to act like, you know, I'm David.

14:27

Fucking God. I'll do what? And

14:31

so I wrote down on a piece of paper,

14:33

fuck the table. Sit by your

14:35

fucking cell. And

14:37

that's what I did, and guess what happened? My

14:40

table became a table people

14:42

started sitting at. Because a whole

14:44

bunch of people in that lunchroom thought

14:47

exactly like I did. I had

14:49

a laundry list of things that I'd write

14:51

down in this fix. So

14:53

I'd write down and fix it. One

14:57

of the guys I was in training with came

15:00

down and visited me. It

15:03

was amazing how I kept the same routine I had 20

15:05

years ago. Waking

15:08

up early, going to the gym,

15:10

getting after it, going back in

15:13

the afternoon. I could tell

15:15

he felt bad. He started to

15:17

explain to me why he can't do it anymore. He

15:20

talked about travel, talked about work.

15:23

So he started asking me, how

15:26

the hell do you fucking do this

15:28

shit every fucking day?

15:32

I said, I'm fucking negotiating with myself.

15:35

Most of us just need to be

15:37

explaining why we want to get into shit. And

15:41

be thinking this negotiation process.

15:43

You're going to lie. You

15:45

can't negotiate these things. You're

15:48

definite. Stay hard.

15:52

I honestly want to be considered one of the hardest

15:54

men to walk the planet Earth in the history of

15:56

the world. And

15:58

by hard, I'm not talking about the world. talking about the guy who

16:01

gets the most pull-ups, the most sit-ups, runs the next.

16:05

Just the person who's able to overcome

16:07

any adversity in front of them, to

16:09

figure out a way. Hardness isn't

16:12

about all this physical shit,

16:14

man. Yeah, it's helped me get to where

16:16

I'm at. But all I

16:18

was doing in the whole process, the

16:21

process wasn't to be ripped, it wouldn't have walked

16:23

around with my shirt off. That wasn't it. I

16:25

knew through the physical challenges, through

16:27

the physical suffering, my

16:29

mind was getting stronger. I was

16:31

literally doing that for a reason.

16:33

I had a weak mind. All

16:37

the rest just happened to come with it. I

16:39

was trying to strengthen the mind to handle

16:42

all the judgment that's passed on

16:44

me. Perceived and not. Sometimes

16:46

you make it up in your own head. You

16:49

know, I just want to be able to

16:51

handle everything. Physical,

16:54

mental. I want to be perceived

16:56

as that. Like an old school barbarian, old

16:58

school guy that's like, God, dog, man. Nothing

17:02

can hurt the guy, which is why the book

17:04

is titled, Can't Hurt Me. I

17:07

want people to have that mantra in their

17:09

life. Take that with you. Take it. Everywhere

17:11

you go in life. If

17:13

you believe that and you work towards that,

17:16

callous in your mind, strengthen yourself. Can't

17:19

hurt me, straw. In any

17:21

situation like when I was in budget, they beat the shit out

17:23

of you. I'd be the first one to

17:25

give a say, can't hurt me, motherfucker. And

17:27

they were beating the hell out of me.

17:29

But you say that enough to you. False

17:32

motivation becomes fucking real motivation after all. You

17:36

can't want to start racing so bad. You want to

17:39

start racing me. He didn't know

17:41

the He didn't

17:43

know it was me. I'm under an alias. See,

17:46

a lot of motherfuckers, they

17:48

think it's me or somebody else and they weren't chasing. They

17:51

got a charity for him. He had no care.

17:53

It was him versus him. I'm

17:55

under some fucking dismissal. He wanted

17:58

to test my resolve. my

18:00

building go to limits. If you want to

18:02

see what hits broad heads, it reminds you of Jens. This

18:05

ain't no fucking game. This is

18:08

my motherfucking lifestyle, son. Hey,

18:10

hey, I'm fired up. This is

18:12

what I do. If someone gives you

18:14

help, make sure you push them right

18:16

back and give them help.
