I WORK HARDER ALONE - 1 Hour of David Goggins

I want to be forever proud of who I was as a man and change who I used to be the liar the insecure guy I want to be proud when if I die in now I want to look at myself and say proud of myself it's okay to be unhappy sometimes man it's okay to say you know what man I'm I'm up so you got to go to the truth first who are you 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 may take years figure out your purpose figure out what you want to be in life thing I'm trying to find more of myself and the only way I can find more is to silence the world out as much as I can because it's it's getting busier every day it's getting faster and the faster it gets the more you are missing who the you are you have to go dark 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 all also okay to be unhappy it's okay to be unhappy sometimes man it's okay to say you know what man I'm I'm up so you got to go to the truth first who are you get get really accountable and say okay who am I what's the truth about me but you have to go into those dark chambers that we often shut off and you got to open them up you got to open up and fight that demon get in there talk to that mother say what's up get to that dark place in your mind figure out it may take months 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's easier to accept the fact that I'm just not good enough I wasn't made to do that and yeah some of us can't be lebroning James but I tell you right now man we can do a lot when it comes to this pureon guts and willpower and getting through we have a lot more with a lot more than we think we have we like that person who says hey you know man I don't feel good today man they say oh it's okay brother take a day off maybe we get a pizza and watch the game we like that boy my whole life that's why my friends hate my ass boy cuz I'm hard on me if I'm hard on me I don't give a about you every morning starts with the run and that's because that's the one thing I hate to do more than anything in the world so that's like my cup of coffee and I'm all about armoring yourself so the second you leave your house and the second you open your phone the second you do any of that you are now letting in poison and cancer so I make sure a lot of things you can't avoid so as I get up I start to armor plate my mind and body and discipline is good too but without a clear head space there's no discipline what you mean so let's say we have a circuit breaker okay and I'm loading everything up to one circuit just load it up it's going blow once that thing blows man the circuits areed up you got to have each thing plugged into the right spot like a crowded garage you can't put anything in it once your brain is crowded discipline is great motivation is great but if you can't fit in your brain because it's all clutter there's no discipline you may have it some times when it fits in that crowded garage of your mind but you don't have the consistency that you need to have with that discipline and people don't get that your mind has to always be clear that's why that's why I meditate two hours every single night because I refresh I reorganize the garage which is my mind every night so then disciplines in there organization everything is in this right spot so when I wake up I'm ready to go so we we live in a world that we want to be as comfortable as we can and we wonder why we have no growth we we wonder why when the smallest thing in our life gets difficult we wonder why we cow and we run away because our whole life is set set up in in the path of least resistance there's no room in that mind for discipline there's no room for consistency they may do it once or twice twice but then the mine takes over and that garage comes in and then it's like a circuit breaker man a circuit breaker just overloads and Sparks and our minds that's that's our mind man it's like a circuit break that has so much [ __ ] in it you keep on loading it you can't put any more into it I talk about it in there man so much about clearing space in your mind so then you have room for all those discipline waking up early taking those they do mean something but we don't get to that dark matter that is keeping you from clearing out that mental [Music] garage people with a talent problem who are so talented they're hard to train they're hard to push if you're their coach and you trying to get them to see that we got to get you past this Talent problem we got to get you to the point where you're into that mental Zone okay we got to get you way past P your talent and it's it's hard for coaches to take these Fighters or whoever past your talent and on the other side is that is where they gain true true levels the levels Beyond Talent that's where it really is cuz if you're able to take a [ __ ] down to the deep end while [ __ ] just putting his toe in feeling the water and [ __ ] if Mother In The Deep End he a to take you down there he's Mally strong it's over it's over man they because they because they live in the deep end they live live in it man they thrive in it when you quit your mind does this when you quit your mind says we're done so it doesn't expand there's no expansion when you quit when you say you uh-uh this sucks I'm drowning I'm miserable I'm suffering I'm broken but I'm not going anywhere what happens to your mind is it does this it says he's not leaving so we got to expand we got to grow we got to figure this [ __ ] thing out and then you start to engage parts of your mind that you never engaged before you're forcing your brain now to operate on a level it's not used to but then it becomes used to when there's no more Talent what happens to you most people quit man why am I always messing up right here it's because you're performing to your talent and then after that your mind has nothing for you I I said to myself who on this [ __ ] Earth would still be going right now you are you got to be the hardest mother 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 put my phone away I put it away and I go dark I go dark a lot and it's because I have to find out I'm on a journey of life and we all have a different journey and I want to be in my pine box and and I believe your spirit lives forever has to it's too powerful no way in hell that thing just dies when you die I want to be able to look back on my life when I'm all dead and be so compoud of myself forever this is all temporary to me and break down situations very quickly within some trauma in your life some Devastation in your life cuz it's going to come the devastation the trauma is going to come and you can't allow that to become a jersey barrier it can't be a jersey bear it has to be something that you can maneuver through very quickly and move forward that takes a lot of toughness I had the ultimate blueprint by watching my family I was the youngest kid so the youngest kid has the total Advantage you know you may get picked on you may get bullied with everybody but you sit back and exactly what you said I sat back and watched my dad definitely don't want to do that my mom my brother whoever it may be I sat back and I paid attention to everything around me and it was the ultimate blueprint to how to live life how not to live life is I watched people do I said uh I don't want to be like that I know where you are I know where because I've been there that's why I helped so many people out I've I've never been above you I've always pretty much been beneath you and that's where my knowledge came from so I know how to reach those people who are in the dungeon because I've been there so many times uh I call it part-time Savage I started kind of going through this I started getting you know a little bit injuries a little bit this little bit things that back in the day never slowed me down when I got my head out of my ass and realized that hey we have more left we can still push harder we're not there yet I realized talking to a guy named Cameron Haynes to this race 240 M race and um is this a new level is this a new push so when I decided to do that race it was in the back of my mind like man I've really become an expert at running 100 mile races so for me this was the new level the 200 plus mile race and what was so amazing about that as you probably read in the book I had a hard time the first time doing it I came back and did better but what's amazing about the human mind is that it becomes your new Norm like to to to think that I can run 200 miles 240 miles and that becomes like running 50 I never thought that was possible this is why I'm I'm always pushing that limit because I know that within pushing these limits there's always more so I end up doing like almost like backtack 200 mile runs when the 200 mile race 240 mile race was hard at once it became something that was very easy after I figured it out all those miles I've run on this thing it's it's uh it's been a lot of uh it's been a lot of gut checks because when you get to 70 mies of a race and you felt the way I did it's to me it was humanly impossible to even think about going 30 more miles in that shape and once you do it what what came over me when that shower hit me in the reality hit that I went 101 miles and that last 31 miles was something that I can't even describe to people and she's like we got get you to the hospital so at the time my mom was seeing this doctor and he was like you know so so she's describing to my mom I'm going through he's like you got to get in the hospital now and I just said just just shut up and let me enjoy this pain I don't want anything to num it I don't want anything right now because what I had done was I just in my mind and people would take this wrong and take it as wrong as you want to I don't really care I had just climbed a mental wall that was amazing and I didn't want anybody to take that pain away from me at that point cuz I was that was all confirmation I never wanted to feel it again I never want to feel it again but what it did was it showed me what is possible and that's what set the new stage for me that's when I realized oh man I've really been underachieving my entire life I'm not saying that you have to go to that place that place is a dangerous dangerous place that you don't want to go there but it taught me what it's possible so from that 19-hour lesson one the best biggest lesson had my life it taught me like okay I got it check as you get bigger as you get more successful you open the door for people to critique every thing they do and most of the people who are critiquing you you usually aren't where you are and all their critiquing comes from people who are really at a low level of life which is sad but what we do people who are on the upper level hearing the haters at the lower level like I said you'll never meet a hater doing better than you true statement I started having fun with it so I'll go through the comments while while most people don't go through comments I go through and intentionally look for the bad ones and while I'll block and delete you because the people on my page don't need that negative energy I'll block and delete you but I take a snapshot on my phone and I put it in the archive so what happens is there's days where I'm like you know what I really don't want to do this today I'm like oh hang on so I started making these mixtapes with all of these hate messages about people talking and it became such a source of fuel that it was amazing because I know why you hate me you hate me because you're probably in the bed right now you're probably an underachiever you're probably somebody who doesn't want to do anything with your life so I make you question everything about yourself so I'm going to continue making you question yourself by coming out here and being even more successful so I listen to that while I run I some played in the house and it sometimes gets on Jennifer's nerves I'm sitting and listen to Somebody talk match on the loop about me and she's like why do you do this it's half comical and it's half um it's half inspiring I'm actually inspired by it PE people think that my knees are bad from a lot of running and they're wrong I wasn't born healthy I wasn't born with some great body alignment some great you know I have sickle cell I have all kind of healthy issues I had a choice to make and the choice was you know growing up okay this hurts that hurts we can just sit down and do nothing or we can see how far we can push the human body so on that Journey as I started getting more and more into my mind and start realizing that while what I'm capable of doing my mind got stronger so the so the pain in my knees while it sucked I've been doing it for so long it was like it became my new Norm like okay my knees hurt and I call like I'm stop feeling sorry for yourself but you sometimes have to ignore your feelings for me I I made a decision and my decision was to be the best person I could I basically a lot of mornings I wake up and say your feelings and that doesn't mean like don't take it literally your feelings but sometimes you have to go beyond what you're feeling and my knees were but guess what I wanted to run and I knew that okay you can get knee replacements this and that like I said it wasn't because of I Ran too much people always want to say oh man you ran so much so you your body you know you don't want to be like David Goggins I hear it all the time you don't be like David Goggins I study the darkness you find no answers in the light none it's too happy it's too nice and we're not we don't need to be taught how to live in happiness that that just comes naturally to us happy moments but the dark times man you can't and you can't get there unless you put yourself there life will take you there but when you get into those dark moments this why people how are you able to write like this man I go to such places in my mind and I study the darkness like it's not just physical when I was growing up and I saw my mom getting beat and I got beat and I was some stuttering little black kid in allh school and I'm on stage and I got to say one line one line in front of 15 people and I walk off stage come was can stutter all those insecurities and all those things man I used to go home and cry like my God man hang on man as I got older we got to study the only way we're going to get through this if we study it so every time I'm in the dark moment and life's up around me whether it be physical or just life I get in it man with in pen and paper I'm like okay this sucks I can feel like I'm losing my let can study this you can't fit discipline in there you can't fit structure you can't fit consistency you can't fit the grind and then when you try it just gets overrun by the clutter in your [ __ ] mental garage I got to the point in my life where I realized this is life and so I move on past things real quick so people like oh my God what are you going to do David if you can't run I'll swim or I'll go to college or I'll do something else like this isn't my life I'm very aware how quick life can take from you and I've always prepared my mind for the next chapter and what happen with me was I started this thing called front loing so when I was young I used to be a little pie you know like oh I'm not good enough I can't do this I can't do that but the second I got my head out of my ass and I realized man you can achieve a lot of sh you get off your ass and you start moving and you start motivating yourself start becoming a self motivator so I started front loing every time I'm in a bad situation I study it and that's the only reason I do have the [ __ ] I do is I'm studying this because I know that I never thought I was G to be writing books and trying to help people get better but I was always trying to do it cuz I knew I sucked and so when you know you're trying to get somewhere you know you suck you know that you you believe that you're a born loser you are taking snapshots man like you know you you see something on your phone like oh man I'm going to take a snapshot of that I do that in my mind so I get in these moments I'm likeing okay wow that's good knowledge right there man I snapshot it cuz know that I can use that later I can use this cuz I'm not out there just I'm not most people they go out and they run and they go out and they do and they're like oh this is beautiful look at mountains and no I don't like it my body hurts I'm hurting how do we get through this it's a lab it's my mental lab your brain is the most powerful weapon in the world once you put away your phones and your computers and all that we have nowadays that's great we're up to date but your brain is the only only thing you have when you're going through depression hard times you're going through death real life you can't Google that man you're alone you may have a best friend you're going to but there's 24 hours in the day where you're alone in this brain it's those times when even the hardest [ __ ] in the world are looking around for guidance if that one mother be that one be that one mother when even you saying yourself boy this sucks I don't want to be here right now be that guy who finds the courage and say you know what man let's do this let's do this even me right now to talk to you I'm in the car for an hour getting pumped up cuz I'm a shy introverted leave me alone type of guy I'm still that mother who is 6 years old you know at a play who can't say his lying because I know I'm going to stutter in front of five people so I walk off the stage that's still me people think oh my God man you're on a podcast look so crazy so evil no I'm trying to be locked in the Joe so my mind isn't real off saying let's run out the damn door because people are watching me on the podcast I want to open the damn door and get the hell out of here man so that's to real me i did1 m in 18 hours and 56 minutes it the worst pain I can ever be in in my life I sat in that tub she called my mom up and my mom was dating a doctor at the time do doctor said you need to get him to a hospital now so she said I'm taking to the doctor I said no let me sit here and enjoy this pain I never thought it was humanly possible to do what I did I went 70 mil and 70 M I was dead I was at 100% what I thought was 100% I went one more miles after being in the worst physical shape I've ever been in in my life it was the most amazing moment of my entire life I had two heart surgeries also so I had a hole in it you're not supposed to have a hole in your heart and be a seal so the hole was significantly large like how big they say it was as big as a quarter I'm like how the hell is it big as a quarter yeah that's that's a pretty big hole in your heart which just amazing that you were able to do all that with a hole in your heart that's what the doctors were saying what's your biggest fear in life I don't care if you believe in God or not I don't care let's say you're God and we have a big and long line of people and I made to Heaven 75 years old I'm 300 lb I made to Heaven I work for eolab my entire life spraying for cockroaches that's what I did but I'm dead I'm in heaven now and you are judging us all now and I'm next in mine David Godin I see my name I see all this God goes hey read this man and I'm reading this list and I'm seeing 182 lb Navy SEAL R School motivational speaker changing lives okay man pullup record all this and I'm like that's not me man and God looks at me and says that's who you were supposed to be 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 us what we want to hear the second we put ourselves amongst the uncommon people we don't like that feeling that challenge feel that of that person who's waking at 3:30 in the morning say hey push your Sho we're going for a run we don't like that challenge we like that person who says hey you know what 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 don't want that [ __ ] like this hey man no bro get your on man stop being a punk we don't want that in our lives we don't want that person's constantly challenging our weaknesses we want that person is constantly you know making us feel nice and good and secure in our that's the mediocrity of life if you want to be great you want to be bad mother ever at what you do you can be misunderstood by everybody because you're going to be so obsessed and so driven to get there that's what it takes takes every second of your life anybody says balance yeah balance is important for a lot of people it is but if you want to go to that edge where people do not like you don't understand you question everything you do you youve arrived going into combat going into war out the hund men that go into war tens can be there 80 of them are just targets nine do most of fighting one is a warrior get back to work it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk don't be on social media too much cut out all noise get back to the mental lab cuz that's where the knowledge came from these people who hate on people I've studied them and I've gained a lot of Knowledge from them because I gained a lot of Knowledge from myself when I was in that dark place back in the day when I was sometimes getting bullied or in a dark place how sometimes that would have bothered me how I would want to clap back I would want to be on there all day explaining myself to people and how now I'm in a place now where I can hear it I can actually know where it's coming from so I don't just like listen to it and like make fun of it I actually study it because I was once that negative person I was once that person who saw someone successful and didn't see how can I get there I was like oh yeah they're probably cheating or they're probably doing this I was that negative person because I wasn't there and I didn't want to work to get there it's almost like reflecting an older version of you back to yourself 100% if them ways people like people don't get it man man it's not like lifting weights it's like you know we go and do like so many reps like people go oh you're only doing um was like 90 some pounds on the incline mother do five sets of 25 with a super set of push-ups super set of curls super set of pull-ups super set of triceps super set of what else was I forget it's a super set man so we're going through LIF and lightweight but for massive massive amounts of reps and so you're like totally swollen and like it's just the some of the best workouts in the world between me and him the biggest question I get is so when do you rest when do you recover yeah and I don't want to scare people but the truth answer is I don't take any days off no days no days seven days a week 7 days a week well what is a normal day normal day for me a a normal day so let's say a light day light day light day is at least a s mile run I will every every four every other day so about four days a week um calisthenics Plus gym workout so I don't do any gym workout without hitting pull-ups push-ups I call nickels and dimes so like five pull-ups 10 push-ups or I'll go you know quarters and whatever like it's like 25 pull-ups or and like 50 push-ups so I have all these different things I mess up so I will do weights with ciston in every single night I stretch that's what's disappointing for me for other people 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 hyperfocused that I can accomplish some pretty amazing feats not because I'm amazing because I allow my mind to be open minded for the possibilities of what can I achieve takes the growth in your mental aspect in your spiritual Everything grows cuz you start feeling better about yourself not many things on the planet make you feel good about yourself like getting after it doing something that challenges you mentally and physically every day you cannot live in that normal mindset you must be your best on your worst day and how you do that is you cannot think of a normal mindset can I have a normal mindset my big takeaway of life is if you're constantly taking the easy way out you're never going to call your mind I was a chameleon living in life who could barely get by so I know that they were taking the normal mindset of people they weren't talking about the 1centers the people who want it Like There's No Tomorrow People don't understand this wasn't like a part-time job man when you've done without like Kobe Bryant when C retired at last game he like 60 points walked off the court he didn't cry he said oh my God I'm going to miss the sport he walked off he gave he gave everything he could man when you give what I've given I've given everything people make oh you you ran on up knees you taped your feet up you blah blah you had two heart surger you kept on going which makes me who I am we all look for toughness we all want it but we look for it in a comfortable environment you will not find toughness in a comfortable environment yep sure did I had somewhere to go I got there and Buddy when mother tell you you can take a break now yeah you [ __ ] up as long as my knees are halfway work I got to run you telling me may maybe chance I can't run no more H give me an excuse not do but as long as I have no excuse I got to do it I was happy where I was I gave everything I gave everything to who I am and that's why I'm people oh I don't believe that don't don't believe it I gave everything you have no regret people didn't understand me people don't understand me now I don't give up I know exactly what I was doing I'm not a masochist I'm not crazy I'm not this and that people try to title me and label me no I had something can do is like our minds are like a garage and the garage if you open the garage and it's all cluttered up you can't put your car in there you got boats and you got kids toys and everywhere but if you organize that garage and you put everything in this rightful spot you can pull that car in there you can put two cars in there you can put bikes in there and that's like with the Mind people talk about discipline determination repetitions and all this sh consistency David goggin is an introverted soft kid that got beat up growing up and had to lie to create friends to get friends to be accepted my life has really been about two people I had to invent a whole another human being to get outside of my comfort zone and that human being became goggin it took a while to get to that point where enough was enough and I had to make a change in my life you know I had all time low and I wasn't going anywhere and I was exactly what everybody said I was going to be which was nothing so I had to make a change goggin is like the guy that walks out of the phone booth he's like that Superman that walks out of the phone booth it's kind of strange how sometimes I have a conversation between David Goggins and Goggins and Goggins would tell David Goggins about this he's done and David gu's like what the hell man why are you doing that that's nuts it's kind of this battle between trying to find more of yourself knowing that the real you is afraid likes Comfort likes living in the world that likes to Pat you in the back give you the things that you want to hear not the things that you have to hear to get better that's where all this kind of started From and when people hear this podcast they're going to definitely want to put a title on me to make themselves feel better basically what you're doing is you're giving yourself a get out of jail free card so all you're doing is saying this guy was some super freak he found some super thing in his brain that was locked up he Unleashed it and became this guy cuz every day I wake up I dread the day I dread the day of what I'm going to bring on myself to get better it happened when I could never get over the hump I kept on feeling like I was getting over the HP and then one little Windstorm small little Windstorm would come by and push me back to scch like why why am I not you know I'm learning how to read now you know I was a junior in high school and couldn't read that well a fourth grade reading level because I would cheat on everything and I learned how to read I learned how to write I taught myself all these things all these disciplines but whenever the first real big challenge come that little Wist pushing back in the hole and I realized man I'm fixing stuff on a surface level I'm All Surface man I'm not going deep into the cellar of my mind and fixing the foundation of my soul my soul is broken but you know I knew I could fix it but I was afraid to go back I was afraid to face the Demons of my life cuz you start lying you w even about knowing this about you so so you start lying about who you're not and start creating a person about who you want to be that's not who you are so that's when I started realizing man I'm never going to get over the hurdle I'm always live on a surface level until I go deep deep into the sewer of my mind to f figure out and face all of these different demons that's hard it's hard we all like social media we all like everybody to see us for who we want to be that's why you post beautiful things about us that's not that's not going to fix it the most important conversation you ever have is the one you have with yourself you wake up with it you walk around with it eventually you act on it and my selft talk was most disgusting selft talk of all time so the sewer of my mind like I said you have to go back in there and fix things a lot of us are afraid like right now 20 years ago you wouldn't find me on this show I was too embarrassed to tell you I stuttered I lied all these different things getting beat up getting bullied whatever happened but that's where the true transformation starts to happen when you can look at people anybody thousands of people one person and say hey this is who I am and this is where I have to fix myself and this is where it really happened you know people called me dumb people my dad called me so many things not even funny being beat dist strip me of all self-esteem this is when I realized I was alone on this Earth I have God Alone on this Earth I have to fix everything so this is where I started to develop an indestructible mental toolbox I looked in this one guy's eyes who was ringing the bell to quit to put his helmet down out of Navy s training and I saw myself and I saw what everybody said I was going to be which was nothing what I said I was going to be that conversation you have that's who I was so that's why I lied to people to tell them a different version of the truth I had to make all those lies reality I had to make them real I had to become a real person so that's when I put in my mind that I'm going to go to the toughest military training on the plan where it has the most water the thing I was scared of the most so a lot of us run away away from our fears and we box oursel in to a lifestyle of this is all we can do I'm afraid of everything outside this box so I'm comfortable inside this box I jump the box everything I didn't want to do is what got me to where I'm at today it's about what you're saying to yourself but it also comes at work so whenever I was getting beat down physically mentally spiritually whatever I was going through just saying you can't hurt me I have this haunting voice in the back of my head a lot of us have it 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 I knew that 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 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 was just put it off it haunted me that's what I realized for myself was I wanted that comfort zone that everybody looks for that pad on the back they don't want to hear all the bad they want to hear everything that they're doing right and I realized that's what kept me in this world that's what kept me in this world of not accomplishing anything what I did was I became that big bad Nast that you don't want to walk into at night time I became the roughest critic in the world on myself and that's what changed me I stopped caring about people that what they thought being judged wow if I say this if I started right now are you going to make fun of me I stopped caring about that and that's my life started really changing for me slowly but surely or situations that have wronged me because once you've come to a place where you are really happy with who you are in life no one with you anymore even though they're with you it doesn't it doesn't with you what do you want in your life we have so much influence coming at us that we are so lost we don't know what we want to do cuz we don't spend enough time with ourselves greatness is whatever the hell you've dreamed of in your own mind you got to first see it you got first create this Vision in your mind once you create this Vision in your mind it's how am I going to get there but you got to go inside yourself to find it and that means you got to be quiet shut the up go in a room stop talking search your soul search your mind search your abilities and you'll find it but if you're not looking for it you won't find it so you got to go start your journey and the journey starts with you finding why the hell am I here on this planet Earth why am I here if you don't know that you will live the rest of your life searching always asking the question why I'm waking up and I'm giving myself all this armor so when I come out in the world now look at that phone I'm ready I'm not waking up late I'm not rushing around I'm not disorganized because I know I'm going to get hit in the mouth there's a there's an art to getting hit in the mouth and that is why these things are important you have to wake up and you have to give yourself belief you have to give yourself confidence so that it starts with that run anywhere from about an hour 30 to 2 hours I run every day so so you fasted on the morning straight out straight out 90 minutes to two hours of running back eat eat and I'm in the gym so and then after that um to whatever is on the plan for the day that's how that works every day that's your day there's no there's there is no room for anything else yeah there is a lot of room so there's 24 hours and I and I use it all pretty pretty well that's why I got a cap sixcess because I can't put that in and that's my growth factor so you know that's that's my human growth factor and some of these motivational people out here it's It's the funniest thing in the world to me they'll go and say when you wake up in the morning pound your chest look yourself in the mirror and do all this [ __ ] I hope it works what works for me is that everyday resume the things I know of accomplish the things I know I've done real hard work the real calluses on my mind the real calluses on my hand that's that's it that you don't need to pound your chest in the M anymore if you have that a lot of it is limited Horizons limited Horizons are like I use me as an example always I came from a small town in Indiana where there was a handful of black families and a lot of people in that town when you come from a town of 8,000 people it's like like we had a local plant Great Dane you're like you know what I want to work at Great Dane and get a house next to my mom that's what you know so many of us come from these small places in our mind that we're not willing to think outside of only what we've seen our mind works in such a small compartment and one thing I was able to do was to dream many people but don't make dreams your master but I was able to dream outside those four walls of that small town and until you're able to really put yourself into that dream but don't make dreams your master that's where you truly become what you're destined to become a lot of people sit back and they dream about being a sports figure or dream about being a seal or dream about being an astronaut and all it is a dream they don't put the work behind the dream that dream has become their Master when you become the master of your dream is when you say I want to go be a Navy SEAL and you say okay I'm going to lose 106 pounds in less than three months the dream was the one thing I thought about and the dream was now gone now it comes in the dream goes away and the laundry list of details and tasks come up gotta do this got to do this gotta do this gotta do this that's when you become the master of your dream so a lot of people out there dreaming but guess what happens that alarm clock goes off at 4:00 a.m. to train we count on people too much to get us through [ __ ] and we look to our right we look to our left we're looking for help and if you can build that self you can build that total accountability in oneself and it's not about being selfish I'm trying to create a better me so hopefully people who are hearing this are taking it the right way can say I can run a mile ain't about running 205 miles it doesn't matter I want you to see how far you can go the biggest trophy I own now is that book the biggest trophy I on now is not the book itself it's what's in the book it's what like I don't give a if that sells one copy honest to God man what I did and that's what I hope people understand your life in theour you put yourself through there's no there's nothing more than that and that's all I want people to do is realize that you have to struggle you have to struggle the bigger the struggle the bigger the peace the bigger the Suffering The more peace so a lot of this isn't your fault why you do some things you do while you feel the way you feel but no one's coming back to save your ass you have to go back to where the started wherever that place is for everybody and has the courage to go back there and start fixing what broke you and that's and that's why I was like hey I'm up I'm go back and fix this and I know how to self motivate a lot of mother don't know how to self motivate man like we like to put the headphones on like like before the big game and listen to the music what the do you do when the headphones come off bro that's you and your own mind I know how to do that that's that's the hard part man you ever listen to music when you run never I wanted you to go home that night after you the living [ __ ] out of me and I smiled in your face I wanted you to feel worse than I did and you were going home to a nice warm bed and I was still out there in the grip suffering for another 100 hours I wanted you to think about me knowing that I'm comfortable being very uning comfortable and I want you to think about when you went through I'm afraid of this I'm up here life made me this way here I stutter I I have these issues with with the reading and writing and I'm I'm fat and I'm insecure 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 people people right now looking at me saying about me we cannot be afraid of that my reading my learning my my workouts my my my diet you start neglecting all of that you neglect one of them you can you can neglect all of them a long time it's going to haunt you when you start seeing that my God I haven't eaten right in a long time haven't been sleep right the long time it going be one of those things that take you off I'm very aware of my eating my sleeping my disciplines of life if I start to get too far away from them it's a hard stop and the one thing that only thing gets me mad nowadays is that so many people die with untapped potential because they think that someone else is better than them and they were born not with the greatest tools you need the ability to grind your ass into a fine powder and when you're not find powder find a way to build that [ __ ] back up repeatedly that's possible I always fix the things on the surface if I couldn't read them right I learn to read them right I would always fix these things on the surface level and so whenever something hard with like Ra's ugly head I didn't have any kind of tools to handle it like man I thought I fixed this already man but no I didn't go deep into the dungeon of my soul to say okay what is making you a quitter what is making you a weak man what is making you afraid that's why I kept on quitting and going back to start or not knowing how to get through hard times and that's why I was tell people I'm not a theorist I didn't study like you know I didn't study a book I literally put myself in a fire repeatedly like a sword you put a sword in a fire repeatedly and repeatedly if if you keep on doing that you're going to get a nice sword and you keep on beating it you got to beat the out of it and that's what I am I I became that I I I said okay we can't quit we got to figure out what is wrong with you what's going on here so I kept on putting the sword back in the dag on fire and I just beat it harder and I beat it harder before I knew I started realizing all right man the brain is starting to get hard the brain is starting to get hard the one thing that made me who I am today is being vulnerable is breaking myself down to the absolute rock bottom and being able to tell people who I am and that's how I fixed it literally you know look somebody in the eye and see know man I have a whole bunch of character problems character flaws I've lied about this I've cheated here I'm insecure here this isn't the real me I lied to you about that I wanted your acceptance in life all those things happen but the thing about it is that we get judged so quickly by who we are we don't know we don't go to the to where it happened life created this person me and I had to realize man that's okay man it's not my fault now I got to go back and fixed it though so a lot of this isn't your fault why you do some things you do why you feel the way you feel but no one's coming back to save your ass you have to go back to where they started wherever that place is for everybody and have the courage to go back there and start fixing what broke you it's not addictive at all cuz um you don't want to live there but it's definitely a place that makes you look at people very differently cuz once you see 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 is I know I have the ability now to go to a place that's very very hyperfocused that I can accomplish some pretty amazing feats not because I'm amazing because I allow my mind to be open-minded for the possibilities of what can I achieve takes the growth in your mental aspect in your spiritual Everything grows cuz you start feeling better about yourself not many things on the planet make you feel good about yourself like getting after it doing something that challenges you mentally and physically every day you cannot live in that normal mindset you must be your best on your worst day and how you do that is you cannot think of a normal mindset can I have a normal mindset my big takeaway of life is if you're constantly taking the easy way out you never going C your mind I was a chameleon living in life who could barely get by so I know that they were taking the normal mindset of people they weren't talking about the one 1centers the people who want it like there's no tomorrow you're alone you're alone you may have a shrink you're going to you may have a best friend you're going to but there's 24 hours in the day where you're alone in this brain and your brain is talking to you in all kind of ways and it wants to control you and pull you in these different Pockets if you can't control your own brain and your brain controls you your you got to tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to go and how you want to get there you got control if not it's over but guess what happens the alarm clock goes off at 4:00 a.m. to train I don't want to be a seal today or I don't want to be whatever today I'll start tomorrow and that's the usual pattern of people's lives that's why I talk about clearing out the mind until you really want to do something you're always get be a talker you always get run so I had a hard time learning growing up but I was very smart when it came to human beings a genius because I lived in such hell I was always studying people who can I trust who can I not trust energy I I got really good with energy can I this person's energy good is it bad so I became a genius on human beings so I studied people all the time studied all time it was the only way for me to move forward so like a lot of times s if your back is hurting it may not be your back it may be something else in your bias making your back hurt for me I'm like man why can't I get past this hurdle so like I said I'm always examining myself every day what is it what is it well there's only one thing you haven't examined yet and it's going back to the Beast going back to the demon so when I went back to him I realized that that was the un solved mystery was I had to look that man in the eye one more time like how I studied the that Navy SE talking [ __ ] and lion I got it from this part right here in the book I went and I didn't see him anymore as this Beast I started doing research on him found out that his dad used to beat him really bad his dad would put him in front of a furnace open the furnace up with the Flames coming out and put him right in front of it have him bare but naked and he would whip the out of them and the whole idea of that is if you move you're going to get burned so stay right here and take beating so what happened with him those demons from his father went to my father and he tried to transfer him over to me I had to understand who my father was understand where he came from understand why were you so brutal to us I got my answers took those answers and made myself better from the answers about him and so that's why it was necessary for me to go back not I was looking for an apology so then maybe I could just go be a loser and understand that you me up why would the apology make you a loser it would make no it would make me feel Vindicated Justified yes like man you you did did this to me I can go be a loser now my failings are okay this okay cuz you did this so I was looking for that and when I went there I realized cuz his voice in h was saying it's not your dad's fault I'm like no man cuz his voice over here always said it's your dad's fault his other voice started turning in was loud started getting louder the more I drove to Buffalo was saying you get to face a lot of this young man you got a long journey ahead of you cuz you're going to find out that while your dad did a lot of to you you're going to have to make it on your own and the voice got louder and louder and louder and by the time I got to that door and by the time I was leaving that house instead of me feeling sorry for myself I started to doing live autopsy a lot of people when you die they figure out why you die they figure out how you die in the autopsy but we never do do live autopsy to figure out why we're dying while we are alive and I was dying I was living every day but I was really dead and so I figured it out and once I figured it out I was able to reborn I was able to be reborn and break down situations very quickly within some trauma in your life some Devastation in your life cuz it's going to come the devastation the trauma is going to come and you can't allow that to become a jersey barrier it can't be a jersey barrier it has to be something that you can maneuver through very quickly and move forward that takes a lot of toughness you don't find yourself in over here you find yourself on the other end like like the 100 mile race I was on I ran it for 24 hours I found myself on the other end there's so many times in life you don't want to be doing what the you're doing you can't just quit remember this this isn't a hobby this isn't a joke it's a lifestyle so what you say to yourself is important there's no coach there's no trainer to keep you going it's only you so think about this you can work in your whole life to get a seat at the table the seat at the table is going to be the best amongst all the best people in your career field so you finally get that letter it's steak Lobster it's a big dinner everybody showing up dress to the nines make sure you show up getting after it working out hard towel around your neck you respect the event so make sure you put that towel over that nice chair so you don't fck it up the whole thing is this don't say a word stay uncommon amongst uncommon people you're never done don't stop when you're tired stop when you're done stay hard the second you look at your phone the second you turn your TV on you're in a battle I want to win the war in the morning if you do something you don't want to do every morning you're already giving yourself the proper selft talk to attack the people that don't like you to attack your insecurities to attack what the world's going to give you I went I walked a mile I said hm maybe I can walk one more mile maybe I can walk another mile at Mile 81 my X at me say you're not going to make the time when your mind knows it's not going to quit and this is what I found out this is my 40% rule when your mind knows it's not going to quit your body will adapt to whatever is in front of it I running 20 more miles I did 101 miles in 19 hours and 6 minutes and that one day change that one 19 hours it wasn't seil train it wasn't rang to school wasn't D the force what any that crap I went through it was this 19 hours and 6 minutes that forever changed my life to know that we as human beings are capable of anything and we don't need any special kind of parents or tools to get there so I end you with this don't stop when your to tired stop when you're done I once had that mentality that no one understands what the I'm going through and if you keep that mentality you're going to stay in the same exact spot that you're in everybody's going through so when people get this mentality of like you don't understand me you can throw a rock to someone that can understand you if they're willing to break themselves down and stop hiding a lot of people understand you but you got to stop hiding we think they we're working our ass off working hard you know we've been working out hard in the gym for a month but we haven't seen any results so we get off and down and poopy pants you're stay for 30 minutes for test and you didn't do as well as you thought what the do you expect you're not putting in the work you have to do more you got to stop telling yourself that you're doing enough in life is never enough until you feel this overwhelming feeling of man I'm out working the crowd I'm out working everybody I'm doing more it's not until then once you get there that's when you you know you got enough stay hard so they're different leadership styles one right now is in the speaking Society it's the instant gratification give a pound the back the second they do anything show them that you're doing a good job guess what there's a lot of things in life that don't don't deserve a pound of back A pounder back comes when you overachieve things that you're supposed to do in life there's a lot of things we're supposed to do we're supposed to be ouring best we're supposed to get up early we're supposed to work out we're supposed to be uncomfortable we're supposed to do all these things that people are now looking for the pounder back how about this leadership style instead of looking for a pounder back let me look at being a better team person let me look at a better self let me look at doing a better family all the other look at being the person that you're not looking for counter back but you're leading from the front knowing one thing as a human being we're supposed to do these things while on the hike in the middle of nowhere out in the woods you look up and you see a tree out in the distance you see a dog TI to that tree you can tell by looking at it it's a domesticated dog as you get closer to it you want to unchain the dog and save it but as you get close to it the dog is angry dog has eaten the daysies so mentalities change that dog become a Savage in life it's important for us to stay hungry now hunger changes your mentality you go from being domesticated to being a Savage stay hard and this NFL football player comes up to me because go to 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 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 I get through all day long he never gets full it's not enough you made to the NFL be theing MVP it's not enough you r a 5K when a 10K is not enough you became a doctor be a better doctor it's not 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 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 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 run at 1:00 in the morning no one thing I was grinding 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 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 going to have to do something that you don't want to do tripling down on your strengths and don't worry about your weaknesses if anybody out there knows who I am I totally disagree with all of that crap I think it's crap and that's exactly how the people in the world become weaker people it's by capping your brain it's by putting this kind of garbage in it about not attacking what you're not good at it's about putting a cap on managing your expectations if I live that way if I had any kind of thought process like managing expectations I would be a 400b man by now working some job that made no money and I would not never know my capabilities I would never have become a Navy SEAL I'll never to Ranger school we all want to read about how we can quickly get somewhere that's why the six- minute abs and also so powerful you may get some results from it they're not permanent the permanent result comes from you you have to suffer
