Fix Your Insecurities | David Goggins Motivational Speech

and there's something about the mind 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 lb and I got off that 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 have the Tactical Advantage we need to get you separate you from this feeling this feeling over here life's all about feelings we want The Happy Feeling we don't want that feeling of this sucks why am I here and you don't have any so so you can't answer those questions so you leave I started realizing in that 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 so the 40% rule is all of that you get the 40% your brain says we're done let's roll man this is starting to get painful this is uncomfortable so you sit now 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 and four steps to this it's 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% will kicks in now it starts okay I'm I'm feeling pain my mind's saying all this [ __ ] to me it's saying get out of here run flee the figh 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 cuz the Mind controls all this is the time where you have to gain control back of your mind it's say okay let me see if I can go 45% and once you start giving yourself more and more hope and start realizing okay the 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 get to the spot where your mind is saying stop wherever that is you got to get there first and then that's when that [ __ ] starts to work for you you got to control yourself in that moment that's that's my happiness is is is my reflection on the suffering of my journey knowing I never quit nor was I guided by anybody on this Earth I was Guided by something much more powerful and I listened and I chose the path of most resistance Talent tent not required love that you've said that you live the life of a monk mhm what do what does that mean what does that look like why do you do that um so I stretch out every day for at least two hours I don't drink I don't go out my regimen is I wake up have oatmeal Run come back hit the weights um I'm a big Sports guy I don't leave the house if at all but do stuff like this and I stress out at night time I find people I trust which is a very small group of people people who are honest and true to me people who will die for me and I'll die for them which is a [ __ ] small and everybody else man you know do you and I stay to myself and I let you do you I don't judge people I don't criticize you you want to be a douchebag and be an ass and not love this country do whatever you want to do I don't care man I fought for this country for you to do you and I am all about you doing you cuz I'm going to [ __ ] [ __ ] do me and I'm going to do me until I'm [ __ ] dead and I believe I I earned the right A lot of people haven't earned the right just cuz you live in this country I mean you earn the right you got to you got to live a little bit live and then have something to say or shut the [ __ ] up I'm okay with going on this easy Highway over here the easy Highway has all these [ __ ] signs and [ __ ] directions how to get somewhere and you have to first be uncomfortable with how you feel about yourself with that voice that allow us like to run away from we all have it we all have that voice that say hey man you know you're you're kind of wimping out right now you're kind of being a little punk right now but a lot of would say okay that's okay it's okay to tell these little white lies to ourselves so we first have to face the real you the real me is David Goggins the real me is a guy looking at you right now saying I don't want to [ __ ] be on this show right now because I used to stutter as a kid and I'm afraid of that I'm afraid that here in a second I'm going to start [ __ ] stammering and stuttering the whole world is going to know that I have all these issues but that's when I see right now okay Goggins you got to go on this [ __ ] show that's Goggins Goggins is saying okay David Goggins you're a punk life made you this way we can't live like this we can't live in fear we can't live in judgment we can't be afraid of what the [ __ ] people right now are looking at me saying about me we cannot be afraid of that that's goggin gogin saying [ __ ] [ __ ] all of you who don't like me who don't want to and that person then comes in but you have to be David goggin and say man I'm afraid of this I'm [ __ ] up here life made me this way here I stutter I I have these issues with with with uh reading and writing and and I'm I'm I'm fat and I'm insecure you have to face that in that dark room in that dark room is who you are but in that dark room is where you have to create another human being that walks out of that dark room to face who you are that's the only way you're going to get over all those things you have to create someone else not like you have two different personalities it is you but you have to find strength and that visualization of almost me cracking out goggin like almost like that Superman cape like like like I'm coming out a different person a person that doesn't give a [ __ ] about anything who doesn't care about being judged who knows I'm weak who knows I'm afraid who says whatever you think about me take it whatever I'm here that's guidance in the dark room you face yourself you realize you want to be better you realize you don't want to be this weak insecure person in the world who has all these problems that we all have we all have social media is a great platform to tell you who we want to be not who we [Music] are cookie jar is something that I've made up of all the failures of my life all the things that I was I failed and I went back I failed and I went back and I finally succeeded all the things that kicked my ass I put them all in the cookie jar CU at times of hell even the hardest men in times of suffering what we do is we forget how hard we really are cuz that's what suffering is suffering is a test that's all it is suffering is the true test of life and so that cookie jar travels in my brain so whenever I get put in a situation where I have poopy pants the wo was me mentality of oh my God life sucks I take a second I take the one second decision I step out of my life for one second go in the cookie jar pull up oh [ __ ] you went you were in three hell weeks and finished two one of those hell weeks a guy died and because was so bad oh you are a [ __ ] badass you are I put it back in the cookie jar and I remember who the [ __ ] I really am I'm not the kid that got that was called n I'm not the scared kid this is who I am it's a reminder of who you truly are at the the core of yourself but what I was saying to myself the whole time on that track and it and this is what I say to myself selft talk and visualization are the two keys to my success I believed for that last time 19 miles I was indestructible cuz I took myself in that chair crapping up my back peeing blood down my leg Shin spin stress fractures I use all that for motivation versus negativity I different motivation I I said to myself who on this [ __ ] Earth would still be going right now you are you are you got to be the hardest [ __ ] on the planet is it true I don't give a [ __ ] at that time right it got me to the finish line of that [ __ ] race I believed it I believe it today I believed it enough to where my body said he's not going to to stop and that's I took all the negative things I need to go to the hospital this and that and I use all who the hell could even get out that chair you did who the hell would even think about taping stress fractures up you did all those things I use for motivation when you really sit back at your life and you in that dark room and you're looking at where you started from and you tell yourself God dog man my mom is this way my stud stepdad got murdered my dad beat the [ __ ] out of me I can't read and write to say my [ __ ] soul I've lied about it to everybody I've cheated on all these tests my God man and then you put a goal in your mind how you going to feel man when you accomplish this goal coming from that [ __ ] coming from the [ __ ] hell you came from a lot of people start from a good starting point they have a good foundation what if you can surpass all the these [ __ ] if everybody who was [ __ ] way up here started up here and you had you started with no legs you had to grow [ __ ] legs to even start walking and then crawling then running and then you start passing people with all this given to them I had to use all this negative [ __ ] that was making me weak and horrible as a person I had to use this as the power that now fueled me I had to flip it on his head and say hold up this might be exact ly what I need the darkness is exactly what I need it's how you look at your situation and I was looking at it all [ __ ] up having lived the life I've lived and seeing the other side not being afraid to attack what was in front of me has made me happy say that again and in fact let me make sure I understood it getting to the point where you're not afraid to face the thing on the other side of the door that wants to attack you has made you happy right right it's really powerful I hope people heard that right that made me very happy so basically I just don't walk around with a dad going smile my face all the damn time so you know Merry Christmas but um but basically what the dark side is is we all have a cookie jar and we all have a jar of [ __ ] that's its official name it's a jar of [ __ ] man where [ __ ] just is just ain't going right and in hell week what they do in hell week because this is where I really went to the dark side what they do in hell week is they design hell week to find your flaws and they do a really good job of that it's 130 hours of continuous training you make it two hours of sleep and they beat the [ __ ] out of you and find everything wrong with your mentality and then they start hell week and that's the beauty of it
