If He Can Do It, Then Why Can't You | David Goggins Story

and for me I'm not some n you know nasty god-given guy you know I I don't have a great bit of talent in anything so what got me through horrible times was the dark side was I created my name is David Goggins I created goggin Goggins is the guy that can take anything you put in front of him you want to break my [ __ ] legs so be it I have a way of going to a place like I did in that race where all the pain and suffering that they put on top of me in hell week I will reverse that pain and suffering and I will take your soul so every instructor that put me through buds my job what drove me was I wanted you to go home that night after you beat 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 with your wife or your kids and a nice meal 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 [Music] things can hurt me I use the hurt you're trying to put on me I flip it upside down and use it you trying to use it for Kryptonite no it's power pillars for me I'm I'm using it for strength I just flip negative into positive all this what do people come up to you and ask you the most how do I do it how I'm I able to do what I do on a daily basis you know how do I fight the demons cuz cuz they hear me speak and I'm very raw I'm real how do you fight my insecurities all these things and uh they're there every day they're there every day like you said I'm in search for a feeling I'm not in search for a trophy I'm not in search for love I'm not in search for more followers on Instagram or social media when I started this journey years ago and I realized that I'm going to be somebody and I'm searching for a feeling a feeling of true victory for myself and only myself the second I shut out the whole world and realize that one thing that I am in this world alone I'm fighting in this race by myself yeah I'm all about people I'm all about team I'm all about that [ __ ] but I'm really all about right now and in my life just like you said no one knows the real truth about me how hard I really go I don't care if anybody knows knows I don't want anybody to know I'm an introvert I live an introverted life and I love that about me it that right there is my fuel is I know that there's really no one out there grinding like me and if they are so be it if I know about you I'll make sure that my gang that's what the mentality is all about my whole thing is a mentality thing like I told you in the last time I was on the show I view myself as the weakest person on the planet Earth my goal in life was to in my mind believe I'm the hardest man alive and that's why the whole thing is can't hurt me that's what it's about it's about whatever you think you are you have to make that dream a reality but that's where the hard part is is making that dream reality that's where the hard work comes that's where people know how do you keep grinding every day you have to make those insecurities those fears like when I was 300 lb I didn't have any drive I'm going go be a Navy SEAL what kind of stupid [ __ ] is that 300 lb there was like a drive to go be Navy SEAL I was an insecure lying kid afraid I had to look in my insecurities and in my fear and find drive in that we all looking for passion passion is all around you you have a whole sh a whole [ __ ] stack of it all around you it's your insecurities it's all that [ __ ] you got to dive deep in that [ __ ] all it's it's all in there all the energy and fuel You Need Is Right In Yourself it's all there you got a lot of stuff to do to overcome and you know that's where I found it I found it right there in my own insecurities I found Drive in my own insecurities and that's that's the most powerful thing in the world when you can find Drive in your own doubt fear insecurities you become very Unstoppable you may have just changed me at a deep and fundamental level I've never thought about it like that so the number one question I get asked is how do I find my passion to which the answer is um very rudimentary and maybe ultimately not as true and Powerful as what you just said which is there's another thing I need to tie this to that you talk about in the book which is people have lost touch with their bodies and you always tell people if you want to change go do something physically [ __ ] demanding like go find yourself and the suffering and in the pain of doing something with your body yes it is utterly fascinating to me and it's just hitting me now I'd never heard you say that before so I I'll Reserve final judgment for round three when we come back together but the thought of you feel lost you feel insecure you don't have a passion you don't know what to do you're reaching out to somebody you need that help you know you could do more be more and the answer is you in the last interview we did you called it the beg of [ __ ] if I remember right yes you reach into the bag of [ __ ] and start changing those one by one that may be the most extraordinary piece of advice I've ever heard in fact I will say the way it's hitting me right now that's the single most extraordinary piece of advice for self transformation I've ever heard it's the truth who is sitting here right now today this is the real me obviously but um I'm going to go of I'm I'm a very philosophical person and I'm going to go there with you real quick I believe in higher power don't know the name don't know where it's coming from don't know anything like that but I believe that this power and visualizing it real quick let's say it's a man up there or a woman whatever and they have a chart and when you're born they say David goggin born February 17th 1975 at 6 a.m. they write the chart down cuz they can see everything they know exactly what you're [ __ ] supposed to be they know what you're supposed to be you die you go to so-called Heaven you arrive at heaven I'm 300 lbs I retired as a Eco laab guy which is okay it's just a job whatever I go up there and God looks at me and he shows him my chart and my chart on there says you were supposed to be a Navy SEAL you're supposed to weigh 185 lb you're supposed be one of the smartest people on the planet this this all this you see this and now you're in heaven you made it to heaven but you're like God dog I was supposed to live that life I was supposed to live that life and then you find out that the reason why because we all think that if we pray on it if we do this if we do that whatever if we don't work we just whatever it's going to magically happen for us no I believe that when I'm all said and done with my whole job is to outwork the Chart whatever the [ __ ] chart says about about me the all knowing power up there I want to get up there and say him look at me and say I know everything I didn't [ __ ] see this I didn't [ __ ] see this I want to feel that I want to get to the other end of this [ __ ] world and however I'm being judged whoever's judging me to look at me and say I did not [ __ ] know I I had you at 185 I had you at this but all this other [ __ ] I was riding as you were living it I want to 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 not 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 the [ __ ] you should have been and now you get the rest of your life to think about that man I could have lived a much better life if I just would have just suffered a little bit more if I just would have went in that [ __ ] and realized I had so much more but fear and the 40% and living here versus living here being afraid stop me so that's I I'm a big guy in visualizing I'm a I'm a big guy in making a world it may not exist to me it does to me it does and I'm I'm overpowering myself every day and you got to find tools to do that that's a tool that I use the most important conversation you will ever have in your [ __ ] life is the one you have with yourself you wake up with it you walk around with it you go to bed with it eventually you're going to act on it whether be good or bad you have to that's why the whole thing about this book I have it's about you it is about you it's strictly about you finding who you are so many people die live a 100 years never [ __ ] know who they are never know who they are you have to look in that mirror and know this there's so much more in here man cuz I can literally right now be a 300 lb guy spraying for cockroaches still this day if I did not look in that mirror and say there there has to be more to this this can't be it
