don't gain confidence by going to the spot that makes you feel good it's to be a false reality and the second life gives you that challenge all you want to do is go back to what makes you confidence or or or what gave you confidence is that happy spot no what gives you confidence what gave me confidence was spending years at a kitchen table trying to learn how to read and write on my own realizing i can't learn the way you learn i can't but i can learn what gives you confidence not being afraid it's overcoming the fear isis stutters severely bad so right now i don't know how many people are gonna watch this you know what gives me confidence is knowing i no longer care if i sit and start stuttering to you that's what gives me confidence is facing these things overcoming them and maybe not overcoming them every day but facing them and facing their face and preaching like this you know what man this is where it's at it's not in that comfort zone it's in the discomfort zone is where my confidence is getting built that's where it's getting built but people want to and they want an easier answer yeah there has to be an easier way it's not i coach a lot of people nowadays billionaires who call me on the phone and say man i'm still missing something it's because they did what they were good at and they had this beautiful family two three houses cars everything has everything in the world on the outside looking like my god man how can you be unhappy i walk around with the backpack with all my stuff and i walk around happiest person in the world have nothing happy as hell it's because i found out the whole key to life it's not in all that you have to face yourself so many people live to be 100 years old and they die miserable having everything because they never examined and the only way you can set the example is you have to always be willing to work i don't follow people who talk about what they used to do in life don't give [ __ ] what you used to do i don't care like you know you used to be the basma i don't care what are you doing today you may not be that person now but what are you still doing to try to excel in life and a lot of people now are talking i hear so much talk i don't hear a lot of work i hear a lot of people telling you what you should be doing how you should be doing it how you should be [ __ ] living and i look at him and you're fat you're out of shape you look like [ __ ] but you're telling the [ __ ] how to live no man i won't listen to you there's so many people speaking this [ __ ] and that's what bothered me a lot in the military there's a lot of people talking [ __ ] i don't see the real suffering behind it behind what you're saying i became this 297 pound person because it became my body armor because the inside was a fragile weak insecure kid so i put this big man around it so when people looked at me i intimidated them i scared them but if they knew the real me just a little punk i was a punk kid in 24 year old guy's body so i knew that no one else did so um i tried to change my life and it started there i went to recruiter's office i went there bad day at work the bad day at work made me realize so i gotta make a statement did you lose the weight in three months you just run your ass off i couldn't run the first thing about it was so i said to myself i'm gonna run four miles my first run off the gate i'm gonna run four miles i ran a mile i ran a quarter of a mile walked home sat on the couch depressed i said man there's no way i can do this but what i realized though is i wasn't going to give up because i've already given up many times and i thought about how would i feel at 50 years old if i gave up now and not to have you know so i kept all this stuff in my mind and um basically i started becoming obsessed over a period of time i started becoming obsessed with studying with weight with being somebody with making people who thought was gonna be nothing kind of like feel like [ __ ] i became obsessed with you have to make this right and the only person could do is yourself so i became obsessed with just being obsessed someone once owned my brain i never owned it everybody had it it was my dad's fault it was the kids that called me nigger's fault my mom wasn't home fault my soon-to-be step-dad's fault the little kids that get rid of by the bus fault my life was everybody had a piece of my [ __ ] brain and through this journey of suffering and the suffering i put it in because i started finding myself yeah i started oh no i'm taking this [ __ ] back for me this part of my brain is mine now i start puzzling back this piece of my brain and through that i grew confidence um growing up being the kid i was i found strength in different movies yeah so i come home in one movie i found a lot of strength as funny as it may seem but i visualize this scene i do it today during the pull-up record i did 4030 pull-ups the last time i did it actually got it to me three times i played one song for 17 hours pretty much it is from this movie rocky one round 14. i related to the person in the movie but just the one scene when apollo's beating the [ __ ] out of rocky he falls in the corner and everybody in rocky and paul turns around arms up happy as [ __ ] i i got this guy he turns around not knowing that rocky is trying to get up off the canvas mickey's saying mickey's his trainer saying stay down everybody's saying you did good you did good you had 14 rounds with with the champ rocky didn't hear [ __ ] he got up and was fixing my mind today still and i'm seeing it right now when he got up apollo starts to turn around to see the aftermath of what the [ __ ] he just destroyed and he did not expect to see what he saw and what i see are the whole movie i see apollo cree's face and i said to myself as a young kid i want to be that i don't need to win i don't need trophies i don't need people to [ __ ] like me i just want what he has a fictional character whatever the hell it was i want that and i visualize that and i want to become the guy who can get off the canvas and look at somebody who beat the [ __ ] [ __ ] out of him life yeah it's about life right now even life itself pushed her head down towards david god yeah this [ __ ] is not going to stop right so that mentality became what i wanted and that's how it started with that visualization of the canvas and all i got to do is just keep getting up when you have everything so nice in life it's great to have a great life but what happens is you don't self examine you don't do a live autopsy when you have a [ __ ] up life it almost forces you to do a live autopsy it forces you to find strength from places that no one looks from because food is not at the ready you know you're me i have a learning disability it's not at the ready i can't just pick up a book and start reading right right there's preparation behind everything i [ __ ] do there's there's everything i do has to come with so much [ __ ] preparation it's despicable it makes me sick my own personal life makes me sick that's why i'm so disciplined now without my self-discipline there is no david goggins like i can't like stop reading i won't be able to read tomorrow it will i will lose it that fast you know i you know i cannot stop going to the gym my mind is set up in a spot where hey the second i stop it wants to stop because i had a quitting mind growing up when you get beat the [ __ ] out of you all the time your mind wants to go to that nice spot where you're comforted where you're not trying where [ __ ] is easy that's where your mind it doesn't want to think you have all these things in the mind and the mind can only absorb so much [ __ ] so all the pain that has to go through it doesn't it wants to push it away and say let's not do that so every day i'm fighting where the mind wants to go so it's a it's a it's a constant it's a constant evolution man i'm i've never arrived ever i'm trying to reinvent the wheel i'm like oh man i went through navy seal training being [ __ ] up i ran over 7 000 miles in 2007 being [ __ ] up i did pull up records being [ __ ] up now that the mind is so [ __ ] strong let the body catch the mind so that's now where i'm at so i'm always trying to reinvent the wheel and see what i'm capable of next i believe in life you must earn the right to be called a man and a lot of people do not think the way i do and that's fine i'm not asking you to be david goggins trust me it's a hard [ __ ] road to home it's not like it's not fun all the time but the thing about it is you have to look i looked at my hardships as challenges once i got over the pity party because i went through that face of course i'm a normal human being but i realized that that got me exactly where i was at even worse as i looked at those challenges the way most people do woe is me why the [ __ ] can i get a break why i wish i was better i wish my parents were better i wish i had a better education i wish this i wish that they have all these wish sandwiches i started realizing how can i [ __ ] figure out how this [ __ ] can [ __ ] work for me so the one thing we don't do is we don't when we're in that dark place that dark place is a great learning environment if you can sit back in a dark place and find quiet to this think there's so much power in your failures in your [ __ ] in your suffering because while you're still alive mm-hmm you're still [ __ ] here so you gotta look at that [ __ ] as my god man this is power man like now i gotta flip this [ __ ] how many men will be able to do and i'm about to do what i'm about to try to do like literally what gave me strength was when i was at the worst of my worst how many men would even [ __ ] say they want to try to be a negative right yeah very few if any i'm at the worst spot of my life like i can't even walk down the street level and run down the street and i'm gonna now call recruiter up and try to be a steal there's a lot of power in that but people don't see it there they say man that's stupid i genuinely believed i could do it and the reason why because i had this voice in the back of my head that i kept on running from i was afraid the water i was afraid of dealing with things that made me feel unaccepted i didn't accept myself so i kept on going towards things that i felt good let me let me go this way but something kept on saying [ __ ] you you have it man you got it man but you're gonna have to fail a lot but you have it and like i said that voice kept on haunting but that voice kept on saying if you face it you realize it's not that bad what what do you think that voice is i mean i always to me it's god yeah i know you've talked about that to me it's god you know i don't get off of the whole spiritual tans you know i i i don't push that on anybody i don't care what you believe in but if you think you're the only [ __ ] out here just just chilling out there's nothing i and i don't know what god is no one does i i don't know anything about it i know there's something that is above david goggins there's there's too much energy in this world there's there's too much trust me i've experienced it man there's too much energy and people call it god you call what you want there's something out there that if you can tap into more than yourself that there's something out there that that truly exists that if if if you're able just to let yourself go there it truly exists and that voice has been in my head and whatever it is it's been there and i didn't want to listen to it because listening to it was painful because it drove me to my fears it drove me to my insecurities it drove me to my lies it drove me to the spot that made me feel self-doubt and i didn't want to go there it drove it like hey over here in this pile of [ __ ] where everything is at you're gonna find the true meaning of your life i'm like over there is all the bad [ __ ] i don't want to go over there i don't want to go like like my dad's over there the people didn't like me over there i'm over there all that [ __ ] is over there but once you go over there and start to re-examine that [ __ ] and start to master what you're afraid of it's unbelievable man like i wish to god the only way i could really describe is if i can get my brain and put it in someone's head and say all right [ __ ] shut the [ __ ] up and just hear i can't explain it well enough but here i'm not super [ __ ] mad just this look this is what happens because basically what's over there is victory it's all [ __ ] victory but you have to have the balls and the [ __ ] courage man and that's the hard part there's no science behind this [ __ ] there's no [ __ ] practice literally you have to have the balls to go in your own life and your own [ __ ] and once you go in there and you're able to face and never talk about it you're now on the even playing field with everybody in the world i don't give [ __ ] where you come from how much money your parents have how much money you didn't have if you're able to handle yourself know what you're about know what you're made of know how [ __ ] up you are you are now on an even playing field with the world so once i did that all these people have more money than me where they came i had great parents there and they're like oh my god i caught all you [ __ ] that quick because all the money all the surface things go away because we all are human beings right that money and [ __ ] all that material [ __ ] doesn't matter it's what's deep inside the core of your soul that [ __ ] matters and that's what i realized man i i leveled the playing field out but i had to go over there and face that [ __ ] first and i'm not i'm not one to kiss my own ass because obviously i tell myself how [ __ ] up i am but i'm also believing you have to give yourself credit when credits do and i became that [ __ ] movie and then some like if you look at the rocky movie and i look at it now and it's still inspirational that that scene brings back those those moments uh i saw a rocky train in the movie but i see what i went through in real life that that movie is a fraction that all those movies i watched that inspired me they're all fractions of the real work i put into my life and i don't ever talk about enough the amount of work i put into being who i am i don't have enough time in the [ __ ] day like i don't talk about it i don't i don't brag about it it no one even knows about it like 99.9 of the [ __ ] i did to get to where i'm at today was alone alone out there running and cold and heat suffering in pools trying to swim at home in a [ __ ] room by myself trying to teach myself how to read and write how to study you know no one saw that [ __ ] there was no video okay there was no podcast there's no who's david goggins right what that [ __ ] documentary you know doc you [ __ ] marry that [ __ ] it was me i just just for me trying to get in the military what's everybody can do it's easy just trying to learn how to read and write was something that blows rocky away so all these different challenges i've been through my life i've i've easily you know i don't i don't look at that movie the same way because i'm i'm proud of what i created but i'm more proud i've created it without an audience without a cheering squad without someone like you know like you run the boston marathon and people love that race they run so fast because for 26.2 miles there's a motherfuckingness come on man you got it you can do it you know who you are when there's no [ __ ] out there when you're running and you're at mile 75 150 mile race ain't nobody cheering for you you're broken you're [ __ ] defeated it's you and you alone in your [ __ ] head and i stayed that way for the better part of 30 [ __ ] years trying to figure this [ __ ] out and once you figure it out you look at your everybody hey so you're all broken now you know is that how you want to be yep yep if you could feel if i could put my brain in your [ __ ] head you said the same [ __ ] thing you would no longer think i was [ __ ] crazy you know what i think i was sadistic you realize [ __ ] this guy found it he found it we're all looking for this feeling we're all looking for this feeling people look at me because i don't always smile and i'm not always jovial man don't get twisted dude people see oh my god look in his eyes you see like almost an emptiness so many people who are judging us don't understand they they don't want to look in the eyes of me they don't look in the eyes and study them what you see in me is [ __ ] real life that's why people a lot of people resonate with me because i skip through all the fluff i skip through all the fluff [ __ ] that i can't fluff [ __ ] i can't why i don't know what that is life didn't present me with fluff so i'm expressing to you what i know a lot of us are going through a lot of us are going through [ __ ] hell maybe not as bad as me maybe worse than me but they don't know how to express it because we're supposed to live in the [ __ ] world where we have to talk a certain way we have to walk a certain way we have to act a certain way a kind of gentler world nothing gets handled in that [ __ ] world you stay [ __ ] up in that world you stay in a world of things would get better because someone said they would and i need to find peace no you need to go to [ __ ] war with yourself man at the end of that [ __ ] war you'll sit back all damaged and bruised and scarred up and [ __ ] up and maybe your psoas muscles so tight that you may lose two inches on your [ __ ] body who knows but then that [ __ ] war you're gonna sit back on the couch maybe have a [ __ ] glass of water if you drink a beer you drink a beer the war may be 30 [ __ ] years but when it ends you will know what the [ __ ] is all about then and then you'll find your [ __ ] peace so for the better part of 26 years my mind was in charge of me yeah which is why i made all these horrible decisions once you take control of your mind you start making decisions for yourself versus your mind making decisions for you for me my routine is every night i stretch out and i stretch out for two or three hours every single night without fail yeah and while i'm stretching now i'm thinking about my plan for the next day now i'm thinking about all these different obstacles that may come up so basically a lot of us aren't prepared for life we get up willy-nilly and there's hope life is gonna happen it is to happen but it's going to happen with the prepared mind or unprepared mind most people attack life with the unprepared mind what i do is i try to account for all things that could happen might happen probably will happen and then the unknowns so basically i can't account for everything but i do know there could be some things that come up in life that you need to be ready for i know for a fact i'm not going to want to work out tomorrow therefore i'm preparing my mind for that i don't want to do that i know tomorrow will come with some difficult decisions to make it may come with getting a phone call saying someone died this happened that happened i'm always preparing myself not in a morbid way but just like look man be ready for life don't let life just start attacking you left and right make sure that you start to build a mental armor so then you're ready for life and that comes with the very physical way and the physical helps out to mental it was something i was i had zero discipline zero self-discipline and i realized i have to start developing this and i started really because i was horrible at reading and i was horrible at writing i have so many learning disabilities not even funny so i just sit down at the table and spend so much time in this reading and writing and learning and that kind of translated over to my self-discipline with uh working out so that's where it started i started when i was about 16 years old and said well i have a fourth grade reading level you know let me go ahead now and start really uh focusing because i'm not going to get in the military because i got past the test yeah so that's where it started for me it's more important to own your weaknesses you have to really triple down on those man because why you want to become a full human being we like to run away from weaknesses like for instance if you're good at running all you want to do is run if you're great at reading you have several books but we don't do those things that we're not good at so for me i realized [ __ ] man like i keep on running away from these things i'm not good at i have to dive into these things i had to become one with these things and that's what happened and so i i own them both yeah and i talk very openly about them both i can't do it there may be some days i get up with poopy pants and i'm like you know what man [ __ ] this man like what am i training for i have no race in the docket why am i having this this such a structured life why and i'm like you know what i'm good i'm done i retire every day yeah i'm done with this [ __ ] and i sit around and say okay and then this is my thought process so you want to be normal so you just want to be like everybody else that roams the world not knowing the power that's in them being fine with being mediocre you want to go back to who you were huh david i'm like [ __ ] that man not every day it's those bad days yeah it's those bad days i see a whole bunch of people walking around out here who have no idea how talented they truly are now i'm gonna talk about talent like some god-given ability talent that sometimes you have to hone you to work on and you have to harness yourself and they just walk around this on their phones this clueless to how powerful they are the biggest thing you have to do is shut off technology you have to go dark remind me about that is you have to be quiet in your mind get away from people we love being around people we love talking we love we love parties we love all that [ __ ] it's okay to be alone it's also okay to be unhappy it's okay to be unhappy sometimes man it's okay you know what man i'm i'm [ __ ] up so y'all go to the truth first who are you get get really accountable and say okay who am i what's the truth about me get to that dark place in your mind figure out it may take months it may take years figure out your purpose figure out what you want to be in life and then from there okay i have my purpose it may take a long time no one knows their purpose because it's too loud it finds your purpose from there all right you gotta start planning people love the planning phase because it's very comfortable then from the planning phase you gotta go to execution so the execution phase we all hate because that's where the real work begins and that's when the failure happens and the failure and the failure but you know that's that that's kind of how you have to do it honestly what's funny about this is people may hear all this and say god this guy's such a structured guy talking about demons getting over things that sound like his whole life it's true but i'm the most peaceful person on the planet earth even with like the conversation i gotta go to the gym i have to do is have to do that every day i'm winning every day i'm winning the uh the other voice in my head so i'm i'm very and i'm i'm at peace with myself the things i do for fun are like me bettering myself yeah i love sports i love watching sports but i also love accomplishing and overcoming myself every day because every day is a battle every day is a battle because your mind wants to choose the path of least resistance every day but you don't become better by by ever doing that you become normal and i don't want to be normal so it may not be a life for everybody but i find a lot of peace in not being normal in my life to be at the point of your life where you don't care about being judged you can be in a room of a million people and they all hate you and you walk in and you go like this because not because you're angry at them because you know yourself inside and out and you know that you've put yourself to hell to be where you're at today you've walked the walk you've talked to talk and you've walked the walk and that's to me what it's all about it's all about putting those boots on the ground and getting after it every day and once you do that you have a feeling about yourself that no one can ever take away or even understand yeah oh yeah life beat me the [ __ ] up bad i mean i was uh knocked out in the 12th round of a 15 round you know heavyweight bout i was knocked out but what happened was in the 12th round when the challenger turned his back on me i was getting the [ __ ] up and i got up and won the next three rounds and knocked out my forgotten 15th round so that's my mind about can't hurt me i was hurt man like literally i had to overcome so much those first 26 years of my life and i still do every day today you know it's not over but the mentality of can't hurt me is just that no matter what's in front of you man you have to face you have to confront you have to overcome and move forward so my father you know some of the kids that bullied me my learning disabilities all these things i went through in life stuttering you know had so many different issues failing and failing and failing i'd overcome them or they would overcame me yeah those those scars are real those scars are proof that you know your past is real so they're never going to go away i i own them but i'm i'm proud of my childhood i'm proud because without all of these lessons in life and everybody says it's [ __ ] i mean it i mean it because i was able to look at my childhood and how i grew up as the ultimate training ground for my life someone there has to be some people in this on this planet earth who have my mentality as gross as it is to some people and as far off as it is and not understood there has to be some people like me on this planet earth has to be some warriors out there that are able to take this mindset and do something with it so that right there once you are able to look at your life and realize that all these bad things are actually the ultimate training ground for what you're going to you know encounter in life you start looking at your past very differently i was angry once i was able to uncover the rug yeah and look at all these different shells that i collected over the years and say wow that [ __ ] me up and that one [ __ ] me up even even worse than that one and [ __ ] that one was real bad and because what happens is when you start to collect all these shells and these shells are bad things of your life and you put them in your nice treasure chest and you hide them you know because it reminds you of where you're at but you don't want to visit them all the time when i started visiting these shelves i was like my god man this was a it was a tough tough way to go but now looking back on it man i don't have any more shells so now you have to learn to now what's your passion yeah so now my passion is still trying to find out what is what is left what is more is it can i be driven without the anger and i can be i've only dissected 44 years of my life while i'm still living i'm still in my live autopsy so you know right now until i'm dead i'm still examining human potential how far can the mind go how far can we go as human beings so that's you know i'm the i call myself the stephen hawkings of of the mind you know he was obsessed with everything he he ever dove into you know the guy couldn't walk or anything you know so he was like the mind that's one thing he didn't want to lose and i became obsessed with it because it's the one thing that controlled me so i became obsessed with this what is this [ __ ] thing up here that just has me on a on a tightrope and this walks me into all these horrible decisions i make and makes me feel so pathetic and weak and insignificant and dumb and stupid in everything i got to get control of this thing but it's amazing that once you get control of that thing how far you can go i'm big into visualization and also self-talk but also like where do i want to be in life where do i see myself and then i start making these plans and how i'm going to get there and i don't deviate from that plan so that's kind of how i do them now i mean it's a lot more to it than that but it's a lot of quiet time i shut out a lot of noise i only have people in my life that that need to be there if you don't need to be in my life i'm not about acquiring more friends i'm not about noise i'm about okay are you trying to go somewhere you can you can jump on board if not i don't want to hear all your problems you have a solution for your problem that's what i'm all about right now so i'm not about whining bitching complaining i'm about okay we need to go this way so that's the biggest thing i don't i forget his name and i'm not trying to meet him anytime soon that's not it but i'm fascinated with the guy free solo he's another guy very similar to me even though i'm not climbing rocks like he did he has a passion to do something and he's in at all costs and what he was doing what he did i'm not so impressed with what he did i'm impressed with how he shut the whole world out when he was doing it to be able to pull that off you have to be willing to accept death you have to be willing to accept you're not going to see your loved ones anymore you can't care about your loved ones when you're on that rock nothing mattered to him but that rock those people fascinate me those people who are able to put themselves in a place like that and very few people understand that to want something so badly i'm not saying that because i don't think he believed that he was going to die i don't i believe that he was willing to sacrifice everything to pull that off those are the people and there's very few people like that who are willing to say you know what man you don't get me because your feet are nice and firm on the ground that's where you want to put them but for me there's more to life than that and for him that lasted i don't know three four hours i took him i don't know it took him a while it's over now he risked everything for just a few hours on a rock and i've done that with my own self with my own personal life is i've risked so much but but what he gained and what i've gained in these three or four hours in these moments are something that people will never never know because they've never put themselves on the rock for three or four hours and put everything on the rock and that's something that very few people can understand so they they think he's crazy and those are people i can't talk to because it's not craziness he found something like i found something i found this i'm exploring this he was exploring this he exploited on the rock i explored in different in different venues so those those are the amazing people that's where i find amazing who are willing to say look honey i love you but you have to understand something i have to go away for a while here i may not be with you all the time because it takes a hundred percent focus to pull this off i need quiet i need dedication i need sacrifice from myself and i need full support because it's going to cost everything to do this one thing that takes three or four hours that's the dedication i'm looking for all right and that's the dedication that does not exist in this world does not but what makes it so crazy to me is so many people have that ability they haven't taken the time to see what they want in life therefore he's crazy i'm crazy they put a title on us and you know what a title does to people a title is the greatest separator of all time it allows you to go away in your comfort zone saying he's just nuts he's special special person that gives you get out of jail free card you can go ahead and be normal now because we're special people no we found what we want in life it's all it is that's all there's a very few people they're all confused life's confusing because they make it confusing so in the first 100 mile race i did i wasn't prepared for it and i won't go deep into the story by detail well in the book basically i ran 101 miles in 19 hours and six minutes unprepared [ __ ] on myself pissed blood down my leg had 30 miles to go horrible worst pain in my entire life in that 19 hours and six minutes that's all it was i lived 100 years i was able to pack 100 years in 19 hours and six minutes all the emotions the highs the lows the the the trauma the failure the success the victories everything you can put in a life i put it in 19 hours and six minutes and the beauty that comes out the other side of that what happens in that time frame when you're at mile 70 and you're all [ __ ] up and your body is destroyed and you have 31 miles to go and you're not 31 miles to go in the worst shape of your life with 31 miles to go it's in that 31 miles that i was able to crack open another part of the human mind a part that very few people are able to examine because why they're not willing to go there like back to the rock i guarantee you when he was climbing that thing and he had ropes on he was thinking [ __ ] man i can only imagine this is gonna be with no ropes at all making some of these moves that i'm falling with ropes you have to go to a different focus the focus has to be so heightened that very few people they even understand that but they have it in them they have it in them to go there but you have to go to a place of fear of suffering a pain of doubt and that's when your mind if it if it knows it's not going to quit it opens up and once it opens up that's my 40 rule once you can open open your mind up when you know it's not going to quit it finds more it finds more focus it finds more power finds more drive and that's what gets you through the 31 miles that's that's what gets him so hyper focused on that one little nodule to put his finger on and that's what you find in those moments but without those moments you don't know what you're capable of because you're living a very unstructured life without risk it's not addictive at all because um you don't want to live there you know but it's definitely a place that makes you look at people very differently because once you see it's different if if i was born with a silver spoon and everything was given to me and life came easy but knowing where i came from and where i'm at now just because i was able to crack open a few more doors that's what's disappointing for me for other people you know so it's not that i want to live there i know i can go there and once again i know other people can go there so i guess that's the thing with me is i know i have the ability now to go to a place that's very very hyper focused that i can accomplish some pretty amazing feats not because i'm amazing because i allowed my mind to be open-minded for the possibilities of what can i achieve well the thing about it is funny man all these uh catch phrases people always say you know failures are part of life and failure is how you grow i've said all that stuff before but it really is a bunch of [ __ ] you know i'm so tired of hearing all these [ __ ] cliche [ __ ] you know like goal setting [ __ ] posters and all that [ __ ] half the people who write that [ __ ] aren't even doing the [ __ ] they're talking about half the people talk about failure you know they're [ __ ] millionaires sitting back at some nice house whatever the [ __ ] they're talking about so it just it it makes me [ __ ] nuts the reason why i believe i can talk on failures because i'm still feeling today and i'm feeling the major way and i'm and i'm living when i'm talking so many people who talk about all this [ __ ] they're their husbands they're people who used to do back in the day and i talk about it are you living it today so for me failure is um is something that you should be afraid of it should be afraid of but that's why you should go out there and challenge yourself to fail because if you're not failing at something that means you've set your goals to pass to succeed at everything you do which means you're not setting your goals high enough so for me okay i'm gonna go out and break the games back a world's record for pull-ups lofty goal which is why i failed it twice before i finally got it i knew going into everything i've ever done in my life navy seal training three times before i got it everything i've ever done in my life took me three times before i got it i knew that there was a huge possibility of failure but what i gained from failure is this when you see a movie and you watch a movie about a person who keeps failing and at the end they succeed how do you feel after you watch that movie amazing yeah right yeah i become the movie i want to feel how i feel watching someone else in the movie when i watched rocky get his ass kicked and i watched all these different things of failure i was able to put myself there and say god man how much do you feel now since you finally got there that's what failure has done to me i've watched so many things and watched someone succeed at the end of it it's like god i want to feel like that but failure causes that one feeling without that failure involved you don't have that feeling most of us fail in life because we're afraid of what everyone around you is thinking that's 100 truth so we live by the narrative of other people when i first called a recruiter to be a navy seal and i was 297 pounds the first recruiter looked at me and said you're not going to be able to make this man so what he was doing was he's projecting his energy on me he knew he couldn't be a [ __ ] navy seal so god helped this black guy because i was only the 36 african-american to make it through in over 70 years how's this black fat guy going to make it through in my ass what do you want to try so he's projecting so a lot of us who are negative people all we do is project how we feel on other people so what happens is there's a lot of negative people walk around the planet earth who are afraid to try because everybody a lot of people are very negative in this world so we are afraid to fail why i told you man shouldn't even tried it dude just chill out relax why are you so crazy right he's so obsessed so all that stuff drives the the uh quitting mind i call it the mind wants to quit the mind is tired the mind's tired the mind's deserving the mind thinks it's very deserving so yes the the the biggest problem in this world is other people not yourself it's other people in your head they are puppet mastering you pretty much on your life i realized once i was talking to myself the right way and all this [ __ ] wasn't in my mind wow i went from this piece of [ __ ] kid who thought he was dumb not successful insecure who stuttered when i first saw somebody to a person who can now do all these things just because i now control my own mind when you get to the point where you really [ __ ] don't care you become very very dangerous i'm not saying don't care like i don't care if i do that no when you don't care about other people and how they view you about how you walk how you talk how you dress where you want to go with your life you know growing up i didn't want to tell anybody i want to be in the military because why some of my black friends i was afraid of what they think you know why you want to join the [ __ ] military man how the [ __ ] you want to do that [ __ ] i was afraid of what other people thought about me so now we're not going to military i know you want to [ __ ] join the military you ain't telling us afraid what you thought once again man you're allowing other people to shackle your mind and so it's so it's the worst thing in the world and anybody not just navy seals but anybody that can accomplish anything that is hard the only separator is is that they really want to be there there's some people that get inspired and that inspiration moves them to try to do something but the inspiration is very high right now in this nice environment we're in a nice environment the ocean's out there i'm talking to you if i want to go to the [ __ ] refrigerator and get something to drink eat i can i watch a movie about some bad asses you're inspired but the second you're not in this environment and you're actually doing what inspired you that suck factor is not real you can't just get off your [ __ ] couch and get a [ __ ] shake get a [ __ ] box of donuts or turn the tv or go take a [ __ ] or a piss or go go get your girlfriend to cuddle up nah you're now there and only those people who have been there a million times in their minds and have lived in that water and have suffered a million times and realized my legs may break my knee may break my bones will hurt i will be the coldest i've been in my life i will be miserable and accept that because what happens is we when you get in a horrible situation in life your mind i caught my one second decision when you get a whole situation in life your mind immediately says get the [ __ ] out of here everybody's does even if you want to be there but it starts to have all these different questions in your mind that one second it says okay why are you here why are you doing this why this why that and then you start to say yourself if you don't want to be there that bad i have a beautiful wife at home man why the [ __ ] am i doing this man like this is stupid this is gonna get these guys injured like they're gonna pay for this for the rest of their lives i'm not gonna break my body up to do this your mind starts to say yeah this is stupid but if you have if you are already knowing that this is gonna happen to you you have all the answers to these questions that your mind starts to give you when you're in suffer mode we all have two people we all have two people and i'm not saying you're crazy we have the easy voice which is that 20 telling yourself that you're i'm easy at 90 percent of my full potential maybe 100 at that 20 that's that voice that we all love that's that very comfortable voice that that's that mommy holding you saying it's going to be okay doesn't care how good you are just loves you just loves you no matter how messed up you are in life that's where you want to be at so that's that one voice this other voice that we walk very far away from is a voice saying hey man you ain't doing [ __ ] so we try to get this voice out of our head completely and we live over here in this land so what you have to do first is turn up this voice over here the voice saying things to you that aren't nice that it's in our heads saying you know what man dude you're not you're not doing [ __ ] you're not you're not a mount i mean and it's not putting yourself down people take this the wrong way in this new society i'm not saying to put yourself down i'm saying listen to the truth and the truth isn't in the 20 the truth is in this other part of your brain saying look man you're wasting a bunch of percentage here we have 80 more percent that we're not tapping into because in this other 80 percent is suffering pain failure failure failure self-doubt darkness and then a whole bunch of light but to get to this light you gotta go through all of this [ __ ] so a lot of us know that we know i can get over here but over here man this is much better because i gotta go through this journey that is not fun this this from 20 to 100 percent this [ __ ] in between is not fun so we decided to live over here so everybody goes how do you do that you know exactly how to do that you know exactly it's it's not a magic trick there's nothing to talk about in that book that's a magic trick it's all back down to a very primitive mindset of we just have to do it's like breathing breathing becomes normal like we didn't know that that that we're doing it that's how you have to live your life when that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning your mind says no you just say this is what we do it's what we do now because to get to where you want to go the amount of pain involved i'm not saying physical i'm not saying you got to break yourself off the amount of mental pain of how many times you're gonna have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go it's gonna be it there's gonna be more times you do something that that you don't wanna do then you are gonna wanna do it and that's that's your new norm that's your new norm so then it's like breathing and then once you do this over and over and over again it becomes like breathing i don't want to live this lifestyle but to get to the other side of this i have to so if you really want it you realize what trying is and what trying is not i believe in winning the battle against yourself people say why do you say that because there's a lot of things you can control when you wake up it's about making your bed make your bed make sure your house is clean make sure you get your breakfast make sure you shower shave whatever you're doing control that don't hit the snooze button all these things are very important that's been told a lot of times why don't you hit this news button because you wake up already failing you're already behind the power curve so what happens when you hit the snooze button you may not make your bed you may not do your hair the way you want it you may not pick the right clothes out in the morning time and i go back to this real quick remember how you had a job interview for a job we've had several of them in our lives what did you do the night before that job weeks before the job interview we knew you had it you prepared your you know you had a bowl out for your oatmeal your cereal whatever you had in the morning time your coffee cup was out your clothes were laid out you studied you rehearsed you were ready you brought your best self you're going to ward yourself because you wanted that interviewer to see your best self you won you got the job after a few months in that job you look around i got the job you start to back off the clothes aren't out you're not ready hit this news button you don't get up on time anymore you realize that you can still have this job and not be your best self the interview you is gone your job is gone you have your job but the interview is gone so winning the bell in the morning time is just that is that you wake up in the morning time and you own all this stuff because once you leave your house the world then gets at you and that's why i believe not not getting up in the morning checking your phone immediately everybody does that they get up the first thing they do is they grab their phone look at the phone maybe bad news on there so how's your day start off i don't go to the gym i don't make my bed i don't you're caught up now on that phone that's how your day starts you lost control so once you win that once you win that battle in the morning time then once you go out now you've won you go outside your house you may lose your job you may have a bad hit but you won something so so you're going into battle having already won something having already won so then if you hit this news button you go out you're just defeated already you're behind the power curve now you've won something you feel better about yourself so now you're able to take these hits along the way so that's the mindset that i think it's important to bring with you every day you go everywhere you go in life do you like suffering or do you just deal with suffering real answer real answer yeah i like to see real answer i like to get a bunch of men together okay men that are the hardest of the heart and i want to be with these men and i want to see them suffer because i'm suffering right along with you but i want to see me get through it i want to see what you're made of i want to see like almost like the colosseum in rome let's [ __ ] go to the [ __ ] coliseum and the only way to see who the baddest [ __ ] is is to suffer you can't do it by writing a paper so let's go because why what i found out through my life was i thought of myself as some weak little [ __ ] kid and when i found out and the only message i want to get across to people is once you change one thing your mindset you can attack everything and i find it fascinating i'm fascinated because i'll be in these moments i put these guys on some [ __ ] pedestal yeah which people do with you they do with me and they shouldn't and i was this guy who was a piece of [ __ ] looking at my god how are you guys this amazing but once i worked my way up there i said my god man we can all compete [ __ ] let's go so do i like suffering i like suffering in the way that is competitive that brings out the absolute best in me and everybody else so like i want to see a man be defeated i want to see a man get broken and say [ __ ] you i love these men these men i love but there's very few of them there's very few of them and there's very few that are willing to go there more than once a lot of people even people who've gone through special ops it kicks the [ __ ] out of them to a point where in their mind what got me bad in pear rescue was when i was going through it i said only go do this one time and so many people specialize whether they believe it or not in anything [ __ ] special ops anything that's hard i'm only doing this one time once you say that you [ __ ] yourself i think we're all an underdog i think i think the top ceo on the planet earth still has that doubt yeah i don't give a [ __ ] where you're from kobe bryant michael jordan the best on the planet we're all underdogs whether you're underdog because you put yourself there to be hungry or yes a real life underdog we're all an underdog and so this this is about the mind and people discovering the mind their own mind and one thing i know is we all have an equation we all have an equation like you know i'll talk about three point you know 3.14 is pi there's different equations to figure out different kind of you know mathematical problems we as human beings are mathematical problems i cannot give you a book for every [ __ ] body in this world that's from my book even though it's one book it's tailored to the individual it's not like you do these five steps you're good no i'm helping you figure out your [ __ ] equation because it's different my equation's different from your equation what's going to make you tick what's going to make you go the distance what's going to make you go to that spot in hell and say i love this spot it's okay that's what this book does it helps you figure out your 3.14 helps you figure out your [ __ ] mathematical equation and say oh because once you figure out the equation in any math problem you no longer fail man you got it figured out at what's important what's important is i'm still figuring out this you know different things i got the equation figured out but what but now the real journey has begun so i'm still chipping away at life still chipping away at life i think pushing yourself physically is the number one factor of life that is the true spot where you can really dive deep into life's about self-discipline it is about self-discipline we tend to do the things that are easy and that is the it builds no mental toughness it builds no mental hardening it builds nothing when you work out working out is where you can build that the fastest because it's a constant it gives you instant feedback instead yeah you may not lose the weight you want to real fast but the discipline it takes it transfers over to all aspects of your life it's not people man why are you always working out stop stop looking at that way this is the foundation of life when you look in the mirror every morning we all look in the mirror to get ready to go to work to go anywhere the first thing you see is your reflection if you don't like what you see in the morning you lost the war already it's not even liking what you see it's about looking in the mirror and you may start man i feel different that reflection maybe not that reflection is not everything it's a feeling you're supposed to get so you have to in life once you leave your house the war begins in your house you have some control and that reflects in that mirror you have to control that reflection in the mirror that's how you start your day if you leave your house feeling like okay i can fight i've established the mentality to fight and that all that comes from working out it's not just from you know you can't find that in the office but my morning routine is every day i get up and running every single day because why i hate that the most so that is why you share that feeling yes i hate that the most so you have to do something that sucks every day because why once you overcome the suck oh now you're powerful you've overcome yourself already so now you're ready to battle i go to the gym about four times a week but my biggest thing i do is my nighttime routine i stretch out anywhere from two to four hours every night for the last five it used to be a lot longer than that and i talked about in my book why i started doing this thing but i had through my whole life as you see i was using my fight or flight muscle i was under severe stress as a child growing up my job whatever a lot of stress just sitting down right now raw using our psoas muscle your hip flexor muscle and i'll give you a two second on that that muscle attaches to your t12 and about five or six years ago i got really really sick doctors give me all kind of hormones take this take this take this and it's in the book real good so i won't go deep into it now but i laid back and i literally said you know what i'm dying the doctors can't figure out what's wrong with me my blood tests were coming back fine i just like i can't even run a block i went from around 205 miles i came around a block i'm in my bed sitting there and i started realizing i had these humongous knots on my hip flexors and back in my head and i said i'm just done so i started slowly stretching out i couldn't do anything over a period of a couple of years i got off this medication that medication i was in like 15 i was on several medications now i'm on one and honestly i would i believe no doctors had said this is what happened to you i was literally so tight i was cutting off blood supply in different places in my organs the more opened up my body so now i went from running 830 mile on a training run to now running a 7 15 to 7 minute mile on the training run it's the same heart rate and it's not because i'm trained any different it's just because my body my body's opened up and it's allowed my blood flow so every night i stretch out and it's truly i used to be wound so [ __ ] tight like i couldn't sit in this chair for this long i'd be like i could get out of here man give me a go it's totally changed my whole perspective of life it's changed everything so stretching out yoga all those things has put me to a whole different state of mind it's and i'm the healthiest i've been in my entire life mentally and physically unreal how much time you waste during the day and most of it is on these [ __ ] computers phones you know instagram and back and forth whatever the heck you call it [ __ ] nowadays tweeting and texting this [ __ ] we waste so much time on our little gadgets it's unreal and we tell that we have no time if you really take you have to take your day and write write down this one day everything you do write that down and you're like my god i am wasting so much time on frivolous [ __ ] it's not even funny i mean it will it will if it doesn't infuriate you it should because there's so much time i can't get it in look at your schedule you just wasted seven hours today on [ __ ] i mean you don't have an hour a day to try to get something in for yourself i guarantee everybody can find an hour you
