David Goggins | The Cure To LAZINESS

if you're not willing to go in there and face yourself and I can find anything you can live right here on Surface man right here on Surface so if there is an ending to this world and there is somewhere to go and there's a judgment you're gonna get there and you might see a chart and that chart may tell you who the you should have been and now you get the rest of your life to think about that man I could have lived a much better life I just would have just suffered a little bit more if I just would have went in that and realized I had so much more but fear and the 40 and living here versus living here being afraid stop me your biggest enemy your biggest the most important conversation you will ever have in your life is the one you have with yourself you wake up with it you walk around with it you go to bed with it eventually you're going to act on it whether you're good or bad you have to that's why the whole thing about this book I have is about you it is about you it's strictly about you finding who you are so many people die live a hundred years never know who they are never know who they are you have to look in that mirror and know this there's so much more in here man because I can literally right now be a 300 pound guy spraying for cockroaches still to this day if I did not look in that mirror and say there has to be more to this this can't be it and then we're going to go into it dive deep into it and give all I have to find it so that's what is that's what all that's about let's say there's 10 people in this room and we're all mediocre but I'm the best of the mediocre people I now think I'm great I'm great we surround ourselves around people that make us feel great they tell us what we want to hear the second we put ourselves amongst the uncommon people we don't like that feeling that challenge and feel that of that person's wake up at 3 30 in the morning saying hey push we're going for a run we don't like that challenge we like that person who says hey you know I mean I don't feel good today man and they say oh it's okay brother take a day off maybe get a pizza and watch the game we like that we we love that feeling why because you understand man we're good bro we don't want that like this hey man no bro get your on man stop being a punk we don't want in our lives we don't want that person who's constantly challenging our weaknesses we want that process constantly you know making us feel nice and good and secure a nurse that's the mediocrity of life we want to be the best amongst the average people people wonder how do you stay hungry all the time because after I accomplished something I don't sit back like a lot of guys who graduate Buzz graduate this graduate that they get comfortable they wonder why I'm getting weak man I don't know I lost my Edge what's going on because once you hit the top of the Mountain guess what happened I'm good I'm good so you wonder why you're falling down now because once you're top of the mountain you gotta build another one that's mediocrity there's a lot of people in mediocrity who have a nice resume but they're one-timers man they hit they hit a one-time deal they busted it open got a lot of money but they're good you're a mediocre now man what are you doing today tomorrow the next day that's why listen to theorists I don't listen all that I listen to a mother who's like this man what's wrong ma'am I'm tired dude why are you tired because tomorrow I gotta do the again man whatever it is that made me nauseous and sick to my stomach it made me hurt there's no ending and that's the person I listen to that's the person who's gained knowledge you gain knowledge through suffering and on the other end of suffering is a world that very few very few have ever seen it's a beautiful world because that's where you find yourself you don't find yourself in over here you find yourself on the other end like the 100 mile race I was on I ran it for 24 hours I found myself on the other end of that race that 19 hours I found wow there's a whole nother good World out here that I've never even sucked the world's in your mind and that's what all that mediocrity is about the mind has the Tactical advantage over you at all times at all times of your life the mind has a tactical advantage over you why is that it knows what you're afraid of it knows your insecurities it knows your deep dark lies and it starts to push you away from that it pushes you in a direction that is comfortable the Mind controls everything so what I realized was that when I was growing up and I was 300 pounds and I got all fat and I got all insecure I realized that my mind kept taking me in this direction when things got uncomfortable for me when I was facing my insecurities I was facing my fears my mind said oh no we had the Tactical Advantage we need to get you separate you from this feeling this feeling of your life is all about feelings we want The Happy Feeling we don't want that feeling of this sucks if in that moment you can answer those up questions and you are now in charge of your brain versus your brain ruling you that's where all that stuff comes from so so the 40 rule is all of that you get to 40 your brain says we're done let's roll man this is starting to get painful this is uncomfortable so you sit down you have to figure out ways and everybody's different that's how the book kind of talks about like we all have these things about you know five steps to this and four steps to this it's a lot more than that that's all it's it's a practice that you have to it's a habit so if you know that at 40 I'm still you know I'm feeling pain at 40 I'm feeling pain that's where the 40 rule kicks in now it starts okay I'm feeling pain my mind's saying all this to me it's saying get out of here run flee the fight or flight kicks in okay we're done we're not good enough it starts telling you all these things you start to believe it because the mind controls all this is the time where you have to gain control back in your mind it's okay let me see if I can go 45 percent and once you start giving yourself more and more hope and start realizing okay then mind starts to be okay what are you doing we're supposed to be going right and you're going left you start then controlling your mind start finding more in you know in yourself and it goes from 40 to a lot further than that but that's the start of it though get to the spot where your mind is saying stop wherever that is you gotta get there first and then that's when that starts to work for you you got to control yourself in that moment foreign [Music]
