GET UP and GRIND! | Best David Goggins Compilation Ever

I can't get a break in life I hate that damn mentality but I can't get a break you aren't giving any breaks in life you making for yourself we are all being tested in life while my test is different than yours you will be tested and how you face that test and how you overcome that test determines the rest of your life the one mentality that you must have in life is that regardless of what's in front of you you still must grind I'll never be in the Olympics I'll never be professional athlete but still I grind I fail at most things I do but still I grind I don't want to do half [ __ ] I do but still I grind and that one day you see me down a dark alley running at 1:00 in the morning no one thing I was grinding stay hard I call that my 40% Rule and our mind wants to protect us it has a tactical of advantage over us it knows our deepest darkest fears or insecurities it knows where we start to feel H we start getting that doubt creeping say hey man you know what man maybe this isn't good let's go back home to the wife let's go back home to the kids this is not comfortable so in that moment the Mind directs us it's a protective mechanism it saves us for doing bodily harm or it really saves us from discovering that the mind's like I want to be in charge of you I don't want you to be in charge of me so it tells you let's just stop right here but once you start breaking through that barrier and start breaking down that Governor the governor that you've put in your mind cuz we forget we are in control of our mind we believe it's the other way around no we put in our minds what we should do but we believe our mind is telling us it's giving us all this feedback we have to reprogram it and tell tell no no no we're good we're good we got it this sucks but it's okay like I always say this message isn't for everybody some of you are so weak just being in your very presence can make a man go infent I put a video up of some Feet 10c video and you all got so much to say about it this and that is this the message you really want to put out there Goggins yeah the message I want to put out there that's what effort looks like life ain't going always hand you some nice cream pie stay hard once you transform yourself and even though I'm still I'm not running from myself I'm constantly facing myself I'm constantly battling myself I'm not running from them anymore I used to too but now I'm constantly battling them so now what happens is once you get to the point in your life where you're able to be on a podcast or be on a TV show and tell everybody how jacked up you are I will answer any question you want about me anything I did anything bad good ugly I will tell you when you get to that point in your life that's where your real Journey Begins and you no longer have to have a a small victory to keep you going you now realize what your purpose in life is and you realize all this just part of it but at first you need all these different tactics to keep you going cuz you haven't figured it out yet once you figure out that you're in a race amongst billions of people that live in this world you're in a race by yourself you have a purpose and it's your purpose not everybody else's purpose it is your purpose and only your purpose and it's your race so then you're like hey man I'm doing my thing I'm doing the best of my ability what's next there's no longer these small increments to get through life cuz once you figure out why you're here it just becomes a process when I got through with that first 100 mile race that I did around that one mile track that I didn't prepare for and I was it was horrible and I'll never forget I found such peace and Beauty I was in the worst pain in my life and I got done and my wife pulled the car up on this little lawn and I got in the back of it and I got up the stairs I remember laying in the tub and I'm sitting there and I'm I'm jackhammering and my body is just the most broken it's ever been even to this day and this feeling came over me call it crazy if you want but very few people I guarantee ever felt this before to pushed themselves so far outside of what they thought was even possible even for me I laid in that tub and I didn't want it to go away I had drained myself of every bit of strength energy I had and it was the best feeling I had in my life all that pain it was it was confirmation it was confirmation that I had gone through a crucible and I had figured out another level of David goggin a level that I thought was humanly impossible for anybody to do when I was at Mile 70 and pissed all over myself and had 30 more miles to go and I was damn near dead and I was able go 31 more miles in that process of that next 31 more miles I found out more about myself and that 31 miles than ever have in my entire life the conversations the mental blocks the roadblocks the everything horrible it was just feeding at me like light speed but I was able to figure out different tactics and when I finally got done with that and I laid in that tub and it was over the feeling of my God man you just really discovered A Whole New World a whole new part of the brain that guarantee very few people have so it's a it's a feeling I can't even describe I honestly want to be considered one of the hardest men to walk the planet Earth in the history of the world and I mean by hard I'm not talking about the guy who does the most pull-ups most sit-ups runs the most just a person who's able to overcome any adversity in in front of him to figure out a way hardness isn't about all this physical man yeah it helped me get to where I'm at but all I was doing in the whole process the process wouldn't be ripped it wouldn't walk around my shirt off that wasn't it I knew through the physical challenges through the physical suffering my mind was getting stronger I was literally doing that for a reason I had a weak mind all the rest just happened to come with it I was trying to strengthen the mind to handle all the Judgment that's passed on me perceived and and not sometimes you make it up in your own head I just want to be able to handle all of that everything physical mental I want to be perceived as that like a old school Barbarian old school guy that's like God God man nothing can hurt the guy which is why the book is titled can't hurt me I want people to have that Mantra in their life take that with you take it everywhere you go in life and if you believe that and you work towards that callous in your mind strengthen yourself can't hurt me is strong I'm really good at creating an enemy I'm really good at creating something that I'm against and I'm also good at if you ever tell me something that I cannot do I'm going to let you know that I'm doing it one way or another it may not be like in your face I may make sure that I run across the dad gone world so then it's on the news and you turn the news on say how the hell I want to do something that you know I'm here I'm here so that 3 months was packed full of like failures depression even more but what I found out in that whole three months I lived a lifetime in that 3 months I started realizing if I can flip if I can flip these insecurities upside down if I can flip all this that made me this depressed insecure guy if I can flip it and make it work for me versus against me I started seeing the power the power and failure the power and insecurity the power and self-doubt because I looked at everybody being way above me I thought to myself if I can be at the lowest part in the world in the sewer and be able to overcome all this I started using that as power I slowly started passing the guys from Harvard the guys from MIT the guys who were these great from great families I'm like oh my God I'm catching up I'm catching up I had nothing so I started flipping it and using this power every morning I wake up 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 I talk 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 cuz you wake up already failing so what happens when you hit this news 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 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 you knew you had it you repaired your 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 war with 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 start to back off the clothes aren't out you're not ready hitting 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 job is gone you have your job but the interview is gone so wi in the battle in the morning time is just that it's 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 time and checking your phone immediately everybody does that they get up the first thing they do is they grab the 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 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 you're going into battle having already won something having already won so then if you hit this news button you go out you 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 I want to find more all I can and in that sack of you have to dive in that to find more because if you're not willing to go in there and face yourself 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 going to get there and you might see a chart and that chart might tell you who you should have been and now you get to rest your life to think about that man I could have lived a much better life if I just would have just suffered a little bit more and realize I had so much more but fear and the 40% and living here versus living here being afraid stop me I'm a big guy in visualizing I'm a big guy in making a world it may not exist to me it does to me it does and I'm overpowering myself every day and you got to find tools to do that that's a tool that I use I'm a big believer and doing something that sucks every single day of your life I believe it's a key component into strengthening your mind every day you're trying to find more of what you're capable of and that's the big question what are you capable of stop doing the things that you do every day run every day go swim I'm not a big tire flipper but uh flipping a tire for a mile it'll definitely build something so I'm all about C in the mind do something that sucks you have to really be honest with yourself if and the one thing I was very fearful of was being honest with myself I was the world's best liar you had to go back into that nasty past of your life to fix it you have to be willing to talk about your past I'm not saying on the platform that I'm doing it on but I'm saying that you have to own it and until you own your past and own the fact that no a lot of your past didn't come from you a lot of past may come from your mom your dad you may have a drug addiction alcohol addiction you may have been sexually abused mentally abused physically abused whatever it comes from bullied whatever it's now yours man no one's coming to help you you know no one's coming to save you it's now yours to own and you have to find the courage to face that that's why I talk so much about the past and you have to stop being afraid of what other people think about you stop being afraid of being judged stop being afraid of what people are going to think about you once they know who you are know where you come from know what you've struggle with know know your journey so I'm getting ready to board my playe yesterday and this NFL football player comes up to me he do ask you a question how do you keep that dog mentality I said let me ask you a question when you were younger where did you want to be he said an NFL football player but once I got there I lost that dog mentality he had a Finish Line in his brain guess what a true dog mentality I have a dog at home he never gets full it's not enough you made to the NFL it's not enough you r a 5k we a 10K is that enough you became a doctor be a better doctor is that enough you lost 50 lbs go out there and do something with it guess what it's 109 out here but guess what it's not enough stay hard and at that time at Mile 81 something clicked that I'll never probably be able to do again with my Mind Body Spirit Soul everything just connected and my mind knew I wasn't going to quit and knew that guy was dead and buried and gone and I was going to die out here on this W out for for whatever reason why I didn't give a damn there was no crowds there was no trophy at the end there was I wasn't even in a race in my mind there was it was nothing it wasn't about nothing there was no nothing it was a bunch of people who didn't know who that was and it was me against me and I used all these different Dark Places to start bring bringing out light and just going deeper and deeper end up running the next 20 mi I ran 101 miles and I ran the next 20 miles ran at about a 1030 pace around 16 years ago today I was graduating Navy SE training I was pulling off I thought was imp possible I went to recruiter's office weighing 300 lb low self-esteem trying to figure out how am I going to find self-esteem in myself I said if I graduate Sil train I may start the process of doing that went there had to lose 100 lbs really fast so my idea was to go out and run 4 miles the next day as fast as I can start losing weight I got a quarter of a mile and walked home I realized that all those insecurities when things got hard for me those insecurities came back I had to do a live autopsy on myself to figure out what was causing these insecurities to constantly come back constantly roosting my my head constantly dominate my every thought every time something got bad every time something got hard these things would always come back and haunt me had to figur it out and overcome it it's hard for me to respect people who are able to come into that world and leave and people wonder why am I not achieving more it's because once we achieve something we celebrate for a long years and we wonder why don't I have Drive anymore where's it all at if you don't develop a routine of suffering and suffering is not like go out and kill yourself every day it's being uncomfortable that keeps you hungry every day if you live in your victories for so long and say I'm going to go challenge myself for 30 days or for two weeks or run this one marathon and it ends I did one Marathon okay that's why it leaves you it leaves you because you haven't set up the next obstacle obstacles is how you grow you must continue to have friction friction is where growth is at there no friction there's no growth 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 St asid stepdad got murdered I can't read and write the same 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 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 and then running and then you start passing people with all that's given to them I had to use all this 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 exactly what I need the darkness is exactly what I need it's how you look at your situation well there's something that I invented a long time ago and where you have nothing to draw from I was able to find strength in every molecule of this Earth I'm able to be in a room with nothing with no motivation no inspiration nothing and find it so what I did in those situations was I invented this thing called taking Souls when everybody's all [ __ ] up and you're exhausted and you're weak and you're tired and you're looking around and everybody looks as bad as you or even worse I'm like you know what I want to now make a statement to make a statement to let you know where your life ends and mine begins and so the statement there is I muster up every bit of strength from their looks on their faces and how they feel and how I'm going to now from my childhood where I came from how was the bottom of the barrel I'm now amongst all these uncommon people I'm now going to now make you feel like you're common so I use their sadness their weakness their parts of their life God this sucks I'm like oh poopy pants to messed up I use that for my strength and I have this moment of like let's say we're in the sand running or whatever I will do a surge I will do something and everybody's like how is he doing this and from that that look on their face that feeling of God man this guy must be something something special it then surges me further and further and faster and harder for a long time so energy is everywhere but but the thing is it's so loud that voice in your head of pain and suffering and discomfort and I don't want to do this is so loud that you're unable to really calm it down and say okay there's something here it's a patient calm that you have to bring yourself say I know I have something here but that voice is so powerful that just want you just to let's leave we're done we're done it it spazzes you out and you want to go versus saying let's take a second hang on before we spaz the [ __ ] out hang on and in that moment you can think clearly and find that strength out there for you mediocrity is everywhere right now and we're all trying to find an easy way out and we're judging ourselves 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 we surround ourselves around people that make us feel great they tell tell us what we want to hear the second we put ourselves amongst the uncommon people we don't like that feeling that challenging feel that of that person who's wak up at 3:30 in the morning say hey we're going for a run we don't like that challenge we like that person who says hey you know man I don't feel good today man and they say oh it's okay brother take the day off maybe we get a pizza and watch the game we like that we love that feeling why cuz you understand man we're good bro we don't want that person who's constantly challenging our weaknesses we want that person is constantly you know making us feel nice and good and securing our 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 accomplish something I don't sit back like a lot of guys who graduate buds graduate this graduate that they get comfortable they wonder why I'm getting weak man I don't know I've lost my Edge what's going on cuz 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 the top of the mountain you got to 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 mediocre now man what are you doing today tomorrow the next day that's why I'm listening to theorists I'm listen to who's like this man what's wrong man I'm tired dude why are you tired cuz whatever 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 cuz that's where you find yourself you don't find yourself in over here you find find yourself on the other end like the 100 m 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 another world out here that I've never even s but the world's in your mind and that's what all that mediocrity is about mediocrity is contagious if you walk into any kind of event whether it be physical mental if you walk in with already putting that block on your mind if Man this ain't going to happen people go how did you run H 35 miles to death D and how' you run 100 miles with no training because I went into it not thinking I can't do this man I went to it with a strategy I have a open-mindedness so until your mind is open to the possibilities that I can do this you would never be able to do it once the mind starts to believe it can be achieved it then only then does it start to break down tactically how we can do this until then you're going to always lose no matter what Avenue I choose in life as far as attacking things I want to be the very best and the very best may not be I'm number one the very best is that I leave everything inside of me out there so attacking is not like oh I want to win this or win that or be the best the best is I'm running against myself and everything I do and that's what I attack I attack myself I'm always questioning myself I'm always holding myself accountable so the accountability mirror is something that I came up with in high school I got caught up in trying to impress so many people because no one liked me so I developed so many different identities let me talk this way or act this way or be this way or whatever the hell it may be God dog so many different things I did to try to fit in with so many different groups when you look in the mirror that's the one person you can't lie to so every morning I would shave my head thanking God I would reflect back on some of the lies I may have told somebody or some of the ways I acted I didn't feel comfortable doing and I did it to impress other normal people the keyw there is normal everyday people I was trying to make other people like me how pathetic is that so this mirror would always tell me my reflection and say God you are a pathetic man how do that feel every day to be this way so I would just start having myself accountable how did I attack today how did I attack yesterday and if I didn't do something I was proud of I write down a sticky note and I would fix it so then my senior year in high school it was a totally different day got in that list of who you are what makes you up all these other things it goes back to once again accepting you have to first accept it before you can fix it a lot of people walk around oh man I'm good no you're not you have to accept what you're not and people don't want to do that that's the only way you can fix it you have to accept it first before you can go on the journey a lot of folks never even start the journey man never start the journey because they're living this fake life that who they want to be they act like they are but they're not cuz they haven't fixed all this stuff yet you got to fix this first before we can start our journey in life so that's why I haveen them make this list you fix these problems now your journey can begin because you no longer care about how people are judging you when you care more about how someone's judging you you're going to stay right there there's no forign momentum it was amazing because in the first hell week I was still doubting myself because these guys come from from the academy a lot of them come from really good families they come from a lot better I mean I had to earn my way just to get in the Navy let alone be a seal and now I'm going for the best so my self-esteem even though I was building it up and I lost weight and stuff like that I'm now around the most uncommon of uncommon people and I'm like my God I'm here I belong here so your your mind has a good way of taking the path of least resistance whenever friction happens friction causes growth whenever friction happens that's why a lot of us don't have any growth because when friction happens we go the opposite direction so in my mind when friction happened my mind said you're not real you've lied your whole life you come from this you can barely read so whenever times got hard my mind said you're not good enough let's go so my eyes my mind weren't connecting I started going back through my mind and realizing one thing we were building bigger stronger faster quitters why is that if you don't work on the one thing the most powerful weapon in the world is your mind whether it be physical pain or mental pain we all have to start from zero with pain and what that means is if you don't go back we all have something that bothers us everybody in this world is insecure about something something life whether it be your family your mom your dad your brother your sister your wife your husband your kids something has messed you up and whenever you're in physical pain even though you might not be thinking about that mental stuff that happened to you your mind is thinking about it all these dungeons that we've created all these trap doors that our life has created most of the time we quit is because we don't have any mental tools to get us through the other side so my whole thing for people is you have to examine why why are you doing it in the first place it's always comfortable to sit there you're watching the Navy SEAL show Discovery Channel you're in a 72 Degree house you have your lemonade your milkshake whatever like I can do that you're comfortable the second you get out there in that environment where it's 40° like in my third H you know we had a guy die you have to really want whatever you're going for if not all these questions that come up like you said how you go one more step further your mind's going to ask you all these questions how can you go one more step further if you don't have the answers to that and I can't get them to you you have to know why am I here for me when I was going through SEAL training I was willing to die so all these negative questions that kept on coming up in my head I have the answer for them it's those people that don't have the answer for those negative questions and if you can't ask those questions you will quit you will quit yeah that was a moment for me the BFW award I got the americanism award I got choked up teared up and what happened was all this stuff that you all have heard about my wife growing up it's at the surface that's real you know and at that moment it flashed through my head about the journey I had to go through to get to that point to do that and along that journey I figured out myself the biggest trophy that I ever got in my entire life was me was really figuring out me and when I was up on that stage I realized that I realized it's not about money it's not about Fame it's not about being accepted by your peers and everybody else it's about figuring out who I am and being happy with who I am even though I'm going to be judged for all these things being a to put a middle finger up to everybody and say this is David goggin and to get to that point it felt great I can't like stop reading I won't be able to read tomorrow I will lose it that fast 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 all the time your mind wants to go to that nice spot where you're comforted where you're not trying it doesn't want to think you have all these things in the mind and and the mind can only absorb so much so all the pain that has to go through 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 it's a constant Evolution man I've never arrived that's right now I'm stressing out 2 three hours every I'm trying to reinvent the wheel I'm like oh man I went through Navy Sil training I ran over 7,000 miles in 2007 I did pull up Breakers now that the mind is so strong that 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
