David Goggins Reveals the Painful Truth About Success

when that alarm clock goes off at 4:00 or 5: 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 the amount of mental pain of how many times you're going to have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go there's going to be more times you do something that you don't want to do then you are going to want to do it and that's your new Norm why is the truth so important you know what because first of all it does set you free mentally and it gives you a starting point you have to have the truth to have a starting point if I'm lying to you about who I am or I'm lying to you about whatever there's no starting point there's a false reality you have to create the real reality so that's why I call my accountability mirror in my book that's the real reality where the am I going to start from so for me I was lying to this lying about that so I had no starting point once you come face to face with who you are you have a starting point all right I'm not real smart I have no courage I have no self-esteem I have no nothing nothing that's my starting point now we can move from there but if I tell myself I'm strong I have courage I'm smart and all these are lies you continuously push that starting point backwards so that starting point is the truth there no truth that only you can tell yourself so it's the starting point the truth is the starting point and most people are surrounded by people that don't tell them the truth no because it's too painful it is especially nowadays in this Society we like to surround ourselves it makes us feel so good those people who say it's okay it's okay it's not okay it isn't okay man and I get it society's changing and we love to feel wanted and loved trust me that's all important it is but you have to have the truth from people hey you're not working your butt off hard enough you're not trying hard enough we all think we're trying hard but what are you gauging that off of I talked to this one kid the other day college is kicking my ass I said what are you gauging that off of I go are you trying goes yeah I'm trying my ass off I'm studying hard I go what are you gauging trying hard off of well in high school I didn't have to try at all and I made great grades in college I'm trying hard you're trying hard compared to what you did in high school which was it came easy to you so your reality is something that you created off of something easy so you trying hard is two hours of studying I'm going to tell you a difference in trying hard and trying hard trying hard is something in your mind just doesn't stop where you know 2 hours isn't enough so it's all about you know reality in which you're basing things off of when I was 297 lbs and I was fat as hell trying to be a Navy SEAL the scariest thing in the world to me even to this day was that that could have been the rest of my life I thought then I was trying hard that's the scariest thing in the world I thought then 297 lb working for Eco laab spraying for cockroaches making $1,000 a month I thought that was me at my 100% potential come to find out I wasn't anywhere near that 106 lb less graduate Navy SEAL training went on to do all these other things looking back on that that was me trying hard that's why people got to understand what is in us we have no idea until we start trying hard and I mean really trying hard where you're obsessed with hey this is my new Norm my new Norm is that wow this isn't always always fun it's not always meant to be fun and that's when you know you're trying hard we all have two people we have the Easy Voice which is that 20% telling yourself that you're I'm easy at 90% 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 head saying you know what man dude you're not you're not doing and 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 per that we're not tapping into because in this other 80% is suffering pain failure failure failure self-doubt darkness and then a whole bunch of light but to get to this light you got to go through all of this so a lot of us know that we know we do know deep down yeah I can get over here but over here man this is much better because I got to go through this journey that is not fun this from 20 to 100% this in between is not fun so we decide to live over here so everybody goes how do you do that you know exactly ly how to do that it's not 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 don't know that we're doing it that's how you have to live your life when that alarm clock goes off at 4:00 or 5 in the morning your mind says no you just say it's just what we do is what we do now because to get to where you want to go the amount of pain involved the amount of mental pain of how many times you're going to have to do something that you don't want to do to get to where you want to go there's going to be more times you do something that you don't want to do than you are going to want to do it and 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 if you really want it you realize what trying is is and what trying is not once again I have to say it very loud and clear I'm not about being a masochist but what I found when I was 297 lbs so I'm not a guy that read a book and said oh they're the answers all this came from here it came from me putting myself on the hot seat and then saying okay wow okay 297 this is the where my mind was at to get to 187 this is where my mind went to to go through three hell weeks to run tours in the 5 miles to do 430 pull-ups and I'm a natural-born fat guy even though I was born 175 I gained 125 lbs I was lazy that's who I am I'm a guy lik to sit back watch TV and eat pizza like everybody like everybody all I crave is that Mama voice please love David Love David that voice got me to 297 lb M fact for you she to cook for when I got out the military and I started getting this weight a lot my standard breakfast was eight cinnamon rolls 6 to8 scrambled eggs half a pound of bacon Fruity Pebbles that was my standard breakfast whatever I wanted I did and that's where I started seeing myself get further and further away from my true self and your true self is found honestly in that very uncomfortable Zone I have this haunting voice in the back of my head a lot of us have it yeah we just ignore it and it was there for years so I knew in the back of my mind that I could pull off this whatever whatever I wanted I knew I could but I I was afraid of the work because I wasn't gifted with brains I wasn't gifted with god-given Talent as far as like athleticism so I knew to get to where I had to go to be in the same playing field as these men to even try out for this program I knew the work was going to be something that I didn't want to even even attack so I would just put it off but yet you did it because it haunted me the voice in my head said you know what man you're going to die never even trying to reach your full potential and how's that going to feel so I'm I'm going to live even while I'm dead I'm going to be cuz I believe in a higher power whatever it may be I don't know what it is I believe that your mind lives forever some Spirit some something lives forever I'm going to be haunted by the mere fact that I literally just that's what I was so whatever heaven or hell is you're at Hell the rest of your life the rest of your life and if there is a God which a hope to God there is knowing what I put myself through now whatever memories I have if there's any at all I'll be a happy man but I knew that I was going to paid for this while I was living or while I was dead I was get paid for this cuz basically to me it was a huge sin I'm basically just going to sit here and just be a comfortable man wasting your life is a sin right a sin
