David Goggins: Suffering Makes You Grow Up

Dude, I got choked out 10 years ago that I think about sometimes when I'm lifting I'll be tired and I'll think about a guy who caught me ten years. I'm like fuck That's what's great about life man, I think about not being choked out, but I think about a lot of shit like that Yeah, little failures. Oh pushing they grind on me like a motherfucker man And that's what you're talking about earlier, too It's like the mind has these reserves you can trick it and pull them out Yes inspirational reserves like you did When you guys were going through buds Yes We just found that trigger and then all sudden you're throwing that boat in the air the mind Always has the tactical advantage over you. Why is that it knows your fears? It knows you're insecure is it knows where they're hiding can't hide can't hide that motherfucker man And motherfucker has a tactical advantage on you son. That's gonna get you man It's a beast that might be your best lesson right that your mind your mind knows everything You cannot hide from it. So don't ever try don't try. You might as well go ahead and beat that motherfucker Yeah, yeah, keep going at it. That's also what you did in this book. You didn't try to like paint yourself in a glamorous or flattering Way at any point in time you are honest at every step of the way which I think is just gigantic for people too because You can tell when someone's stroking themselves or bullshit in themselves and the messages won't come through right? But this you come through in this book You know like you who you are and what you became and how you became who you are and who you used to be And why you were the way you used to be all that comes through is like there's no filter This is just your your thoughts Like you what you remember about your life and what you think about right now just all comes out onto the pages Hardest thing I've done my entire life I'm imagining I have fucking I don't know how to go about this book Then I walk up to people people walk up to me. I'm like, what are you thinking about motherfucker? Hey, thank you, Bobby. Peanut the bed What are you thinking about oh That's hilarious.

Tell me something about you That's what people love right when they know some shit about you don't know nothing about them About nobody that's anonymous trolls. That's it man and they get at me they come. Oh, there's a lot of those But they're all doing that to themselves. They don't even understand when you do that. You're doing it to yourself, right? If you are attacking someone because you know that they have a weakness, but you're pretending you don't have one you are attacking yourself You are chipping away at your own personal sovereignty. So you're chipping away at your own respect So true, man, can't respect yourself. You know, you're a pussy happen though Joe to me I start looking at people realizing I know something about you Because they don't want to talk about it right I already know it yeah, if you're talking shit about me Yeah, I know you're fucked up.
