PAIN IS TEMPORARY | Best of David Goggins 2021 Compilation | Powerful Motivational Speech

[Music] i don't enjoy doing interviews and people go well why do you do it um one big reason why i can't stand it public speaking being on camera isis started real bad growing up so you're always having to face these [ __ ] demons that come out of everywhere you know people think you know because i'm decently successful now successful not monetarily but just i've overcome a lot and i have a nice looking resume but um i'm still every day you know just battling so this is why i do it i do it for my own personal you know fears and younger think about [ __ ] man i'd be out here stuttering and [ __ ] i do alone you know like i i pick these hard things that most people think you can't finish anyway so you know you go out there you grind you're alone you're in your own head i work best alone i work best alone so those are easier you know i figured out a way to kind of challenge you know kind of challenge your mind channel it and challenge it at the same time and i figured out a way to kind of just become have an indestructible toolbox in your mind so those are easier i have uh i have a gift i have a gift it's not a gift of gab it's just a gift to say look man i'm vulnerable i'm very very human i'm not god's gift i'm not superman i'm not batman i'm not even robbing but i did figure out some things along my journey so if i kept myself introverted enclosed in no one would ever you know realize man that that big hard tough guy over there man you know he's just some superhuman and they put a title on me this way i have to break myself down let people know that anyone can be who they want to be that that foundation of life that i didn't have that's how it started off for me and this progressively got worse so when you have a horrible foundation it's like building a house on a [ __ ] up foundation this is what you're gonna get you know any kind of uh earthquake or something happen the house is gonna go down sometimes you know don't even take an earthquake it takes a little windstorm so that was me i was just a little windstorm away from breaking all the time a windstorm away from breaking but no one knew it i walked around like i was a pillar of strength at a young age but that internal conversation you're having back here is this weak little kid very afraid and i think that's what makes the book very powerful because i take you there i take you to that spot of you know i'm super human now so you think but a lot of people have a lot of problems that they can't overcome when i talk to people like i see where i'm at today but i know where i come from and it's kind of hard to almost separate that i'm almost not in a way i'm kissing my own ass but i'm amazed at what a human being can actually do so when i start talking to myself in the third person it's strictly because i know that i literally made this human being out of uh out of just like a whole bunch of scraps and i wasn't you know i wasn't a a mechanic i wasn't a carpenter so i didn't know how to do any of this [ __ ] you know i wasn't trained in how to build a human being from nothing you know like my mom didn't train me my dad didn't train me life didn't train me well life and i started putting this scrap metal together like i wonder what the [ __ ] gonna happen you know the first year i try to do is all [ __ ] up and after a while i started learning more and more and more through pain and suffering i started learning just learning so much about stuff before i knew it man i built this beautiful car i'm like how the [ __ ] did i do that and i knew how i know how to do it because i have all the tools through all the failure i went through trying to build this person who's gogging and you said it perfectly there the one thing that made me who i am today is being vulnerable it's 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 eyes you know what 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 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 you know life created this person me life life created me to be this [ __ ] up person that i was back in the day and i had to realize man that's okay man it's not my fault now i can go back and fix this [ __ ] though 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 have 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 gonna go back and fix this you gotta be able to get out and let your mind see open-mindedness because a small town what it does to you is it closes your mind completely closes your mind not everybody this isn't everybody a lot of people you have to be able to go out there and create open-mindedness you need space you need space to see the world a lot of a lot of ignorance in the world it comes from people not being out and seeing other things seeing other people seeing all kinds of [ __ ] that's why we judge so harshly because our minds are so close to the reality of of life i had a starting point and the starting point was this very scared immature fragile kid but through figuring out this fragile kid i found out well [ __ ] through all this [ __ ] muck and [ __ ] this can come out the other end a person that has 4 000 30 pull-ups she runs miles and miles and miles at a time but we all have these abilities not just to run and do pull-ups but these abilities that once we go back into our dark holes that a lot of us have a lot of us come from you know insecurities a lot of issues but we don't want to visit that place place is scary place is something that we want to forget about i had the courage finally to go back in there and organize that [ __ ] get it organized in my mind and figure out you know where to start from so but the journey led me to the so-called superhuman stuff that i do now i was haunted so we all have these voices in our head we like to not listen to them the one that comforts us and keeps us nice and warm and cuddly and gives us cookies and milk at nighttime and [ __ ] we like that voice that voice the one where you want to always hear it which is why people don't like to listen to me a lot some people do some people don't the only thing that changes you is being real so basically you know i had to have the courage to go back in it because nothing was getting done i kept on going to that nice cuddly voice in my head saying you know what you don't need to do this that's too much work man you've earned this you deserve this and that mentality got me to 297 pounds fat out of shape to me a loser to me making a thousand dollars a month and making a ton of mistakes because mistakes happen on the easy side of life you take the easy road the easy path there's a lot of mistakes over there the hard journey you don't make too many mistakes over here because it's too hard you don't want to repeat it i don't enjoy it it's necessary it's necessary so every morning i wake up it's not just about working out but for me working out has been a very big part of my mental growth so for me if i am not challenging myself every day and i swear to god people would not believe it i was over almost 300 pounds twice in my life a person that does that twice in his life does not enjoy cardiovascular activity okay so people can put anything they want to in their head i did realize one thing the things i don't enjoy that i still do that's where growth is at and that's for me the only place growth is at is in that very uncomfortable you know in that uncomfortable zone so i have to visit it every single day for instance today i woke up and i just got to london and i don't know where to run here it's very difficult to run around this place so someone said hey you can run around out here like around this one mile block and i'm like you know what i'm not doing that so i went down to the gym and there's this like crazy elliptical trainer but it's not a normal elliptical trainer it's one that you like almost self-power so i got on that thing and i realized man this [ __ ] sucks and after like two minutes like i don't want to do this so right then i realized it looks like we're gonna be here for a while so i did that for two hours and 45 minutes yeah so i'm not saying do that but that's something i did today once my mind said you know what let's not do this today i said well since my my mind went there i redirected it and said just for having that weak thought we're gonna be on here for a while punishment may not be the right word i want my mind to know who's in charge so for the better part of 26 years my mind was in charge of me which is why i made all these horrible decisions once you take control of your mind you start making decisions for yourself versus your mind making decisions for you my routine is every night i stretch out and i stretch out for two or three hours every single night without fail and while i'm stretching out i'm thinking about my plan for the next day now i'm thinking about all these different obstacles that may come up so basically a lot of us aren't prepared for life we get up willy-nilly and there's hope life is going to happen it is going to happen but it's going to happen with the prepared mind or unprepared mind most people attack life with the unprepared mind what i do is i try to account for all things that could happen might happen probably will happen and then the unknowns so basically i can't account for everything but i do know there could be some things that come up in life that you need to be ready for i know for a fact i'm not going to want to work out tomorrow therefore i'm preparing my mind for that but honestly it was um i realized at a young age how to change myself was through discipline and the military didn't teach me that it was something i was i had zero discipline zero self-discipline and i realized i have to start developing this and i started really because i was horrible at reading and i was horrible at writing i have so many learning disabilities not even funny so i just sit down at the table and spend so much time in this reading and writing and learning and that kind of translate over to my self-discipline with with working out so that's where i started i started off about 16 years old and said well i'm a fourth grade reading level you know let me go ahead now and start really uh focusing because i'm not gonna get in the military because i gotta pass the test that's where it started for me it's more important to own your weaknesses you have to really triple down on those man because why you want to become a full human being we like to run away from weaknesses like for instance if you're good at running all you want to do is run if you're great at reading you have several books but we don't do those things that we're not good at so for me i realized [ __ ] man like i keep on running away from these things i'm not good at i have to dive into these things i have to become one with these things and that's what happened and so i i own them both and i talk very openly about them both no i can't do it i can't do it there may be some days i get up with poopy pants and i'm like you know what man [ __ ] this man like what am i training for i have no race in the docket why am i having this this such a structured life why and i'm like you know what i'm good i'm done i retire every day i'm done with this [ __ ] and i sit around and say okay and then this is my thought process so you want to be normal so you just want to be like everybody else that roams the world not knowing the power that's in them being fine with being mediocre you want to go back to who you were huh david i'm like [ __ ] that man not every day it's those bad days it's those bad days because i see a whole bunch of people walking around out here who have no idea how talented they truly are now i'm talking about talent like some god-given ability talent that sometimes you have to hone you have to work on you have to harness yourself and they just walk around this on their phones it's clueless to how powerful they are the biggest thing you have to do is shut off technology you have to go dark what i mean by that is 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 also okay to be unhappy it's okay to be unhappy sometimes man it's okay so you know what man i'm i'm [ __ ] up so y'all go to the truth first who are you get 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 it 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 may take a long time no one knows their purpose because it's too loud it finds your purpose from there all right you gotta start planning people love the planning phase because it's very comfortable then from the planning phase you got to go to execution so the execution phase we all hate because that's where the real work begins and that's when the failure happens and the failure and the failure but you know that's that that's kind of how you have to do it my grandfather when i was growing up my grandfather looked at me and he said you know what man you're not gonna amount to [ __ ] because of how you hang your head that's all i said and as true and as real as it was it hurt and a lot of us what we do is we hide from the truth we don't want to tell people the truth we see people every day loved ones friends family members we see them walking around everybody sees them and they're not amounting to [ __ ] they're [ __ ] gaining weight they're not going to school but we live in a kindler gentler world so we don't say [ __ ] to them we should watch them fail because why we don't know what to say or how to say it or we may lose them as friends or they may not love us anymore you're watching someone fail the best thing you may ever do for someone to say hey guess what brother you're a piece of [ __ ] right now you may not say it just that way but that's what you may want to say to somebody look man i love you brother but your life sucks you're not you you are so much better than this man you're so much better i'm watching you failing i can't do it and i also believe that we're going to end up one day meeting a maker if you believe in one and i believe that maker knows everything about you everything about you knows i was gonna be here and talking to you knows everything but you also have a choice to make you have a choice to make we have choices and the one thing that scares me is getting to heaven and not being what i was supposed to be and i believe that god has a chart and he looks at the chart and he puts it in front of you and you get to heaven he says hey this is what you're supposed to be and one of my biggest fears in life was to see that chart and not have every block checked off you know i want to make sure that i'm constantly pursuing whatever it is i'm pursuing just to be the best i can just constantly grinding myself into a fine powder you know but doing it in a smart way like i talked about you can constantly grind yourself to a point where you're just sick there's a there's a happy medium of grinding so that's that's that's my purpose now to continue to push myself so others can see what is possible honestly what's funny about this is people may hear all this and say god this guy's such a structured guy talking about getting over things that sounded like his whole life it's true but i'm the most peaceful person on the planet earth even with like the conversation i gotta go to the gym i have to do is have to do that every day i'm winning every day i'm winning the uh the other voice in my head so i'm very i'm i'm at peace with myself the things i do for fun are like me bettering myself i love sports i love watching sports but i also love accomplishing and overcoming myself every day because every day is a battle every day is a battle because your mind wants to choose the path of least resistance every day but you don't become better by by ever doing that you become normal and i don't want to be normal so it may not be a life for everybody but i find a lot of peace in not being normal in my life that's overcoming yourself at all costs whatever that takes to be at the point of your life where you don't care about being judged you can be in a room of a million people and they all hate you and you walk in and you go like this because not because you're angry at them because you know yourself inside and out and you know that you've put yourself through hell to be where you're at today you've walked a walk you've talked to talk and you've walked the walk and that's to me what it's all about it's all about putting those boots on the ground and getting after it every day and once you do that you have a feeling about yourself that no one can ever take away or even understand i mean i was uh knocked out in the 12th round of a 15 round you know heavyweight bout i was knocked out but what happened was in the 12th round when the challenger turned his back on me i was getting the [ __ ] up and i got up and won the next three rounds and knocked out my forgotten 15th round so that's my mind about can't hurt me i was hurt man like literally i had to overcome so much those first 26 years of my life and i still do every day today you know it's not over but the mentality of can't hurt me is just that no matter what's in front of you man you have to face you have to confront you have to overcome and move forward so my father you know my learning disabilities all these things i went through in life stuttering you know had so many different issues failing and failing and failing i'd overcome them or they would have overcame me yeah those those scars are real those scars are proof that you know your past is real so they're never going to go away i i own them but i'm i'm proud of my childhood i'm proud because without all of these lessons in life and everybody says it's [ __ ] i mean it i mean it because i was able to look at my childhood and how i grew up as the ultimate training ground for my life someone there has to be some people in this on this planet earth who have my mentality as gross as it is to some people and as far off as it is and not understood there has to be some people like me on this planet earth has to be some warriors out there that are able to take this mindset and do something with it so that right there once you are able to look at your life and realize that all these bad things are actually the ultimate training ground for what you're going to you know encounter in life you start looking at your past very differently amazing how powerful anger is it is a very very powerful thing but it can't overcome everything to uncover the rug and look at all these different shells that i collected over the years and say wow that [ __ ] me up and that one [ __ ] me up even even worse than that one and [ __ ] that one was real bad and because what happens is when you start to collect all these shells and these shells are bad things of your life and you put them in your nice treasure chest and you hide them you know because it reminds you of where you're at but you don't want to visit them all the time when i started visiting these shells i was like my god man this was a it was a tough tough way to go but now looking back on a man i don't have any more shells so now you have to learn to now with your passion so now my passion is still trying to find out what is what is left what is more is it can i be driven without the anger and i can be i've only dissected 44 years of my life while i'm still living i'm still in my live autopsy so you know right now i'm still examining human potential how far can the mind go how far can we go as human beings so that's you know i'm the i call myself the stephen hawkins of of the mind you know he was obsessed with everything he he ever dove into you know the guy couldn't walk or anything you know so he was like the mind that's one thing he didn't want to lose and i became obsessed with it because it's the one thing that controlled me so i became obsessed with this what is this [ __ ] thing up here that just has me on a on a tightrope and this walks me into all these horrible decisions i make and makes me feel so pathetic and weak and insignificant and dumb and stupid and everything i got to get control of this thing fitness challenges are part of it but it's mostly now really i'm big into visualization and also self-talk but also like where do i want to be in life where do i see myself and then i start making these plans and how i'm going to get there and i don't deviate from that plan so that's kind of how i do them now i mean it's a lot more to it than that but it's a lot of quiet time i shut out a lot of noise i only have people in my life that that need to be there if you don't need to be in my life i'm not about acquiring more friends i'm not about noise i'm about okay are you trying to go somewhere you can you can jump on board if not i don't want to hear all your problems you have a solution for your problem that's what i'm all about right now so i'm not about whining bitching complaining i'm about okay we need to go this way basically i ran 101 miles and 19 hours and six minutes unprepared [ __ ] on myself pissed blood down my leg had 30 miles to go horrible worst pain in my entire life in that 19 hours and six minutes that's all it was i lived 100 years i was able to pack 100 years in 19 hours and six minutes all the emotions the highs the lows the the the trauma the failure the success the victories everything you can put in a life i put it in 19 hours and six minutes and the beauty that comes out the other side of that what happens in that time frame when you're at mile 70 and you're all [ __ ] up and your body is destroyed and you have 31 miles to go and you're not 31 miles to go in the worst shape of your life for 31 miles to go it's in that 31 miles that i was able to crack open another part of the human mind a part that very few people are able to examine because why they're not willing to go there like back to the rock i guarantee you when he was climbing that thing and he had ropes on he was thinking [ __ ] man i can only imagine this is going to be with no ropes at all you have to go to a different focus the the focus has to be so heightened that very few people they even understand that but they have it in them they have it in them to go there but you have to go to a place of fear of suffering of pain of doubt and that's when your mind if it if it knows it's not going to quit it opens up and once it opens up that's my 40 rule once you can open open your mind up when it's not going to quit it finds more it finds more focus it finds more power finds more drive and that's what gets you through the 31 miles that's that's what gets him so hyper focused on that one little nodule to put his finger on and that's what you find in those moments but without those moments you don't know what you're capable of because you're living a very unstructured life without risk it's not addictive at all because you don't want to live there you know but it's definitely a place that makes you look at people very differently because once you see it's different 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 i know i have the ability now to go to a place that's very very hyper focused that i can accomplish some pretty amazing feats not because i'm amazing because i allowed my mind to be open-minded for the possibilities of what can i achieve so for me failure is um is something that you should be afraid of it should be afraid of but that's why you should go out there and challenge yourself to fail because if you're not failing at something that means you've set your goals to pass to succeed at everything you do which means you're not setting your goals high enough so for me okay i'm gonna go out and break the games book a world's record for pull-ups lofty goal which is why i failed it twice before i finally got it i knew going into everything i've ever done in my life navy seal training three times before i got it everything i've ever done in my life took me three times before i got it i knew that there was a huge possibility of failure but what i gained from failure is this when you see a movie and you watch a movie about a person who keeps failing and at the end they succeed i become the movie i want to feel how i feel watching someone else in the movie when i watched rocky get his ass kicked and i watched all these different things of failure i was able to put myself there and say god man how much do you feel now since you finally got there that's what failure has done to me i watched so many things and watched someone succeed at the end of it it's like god i want to feel like that but failure causes that one feeling without that failure involved you don't have that feeling if you just pass and you succeed and you're great that feeling yeah okay i'm good what takes you years months years to accomplish because you just can't get over the hump but you continue going back to the drawing board you're looking for those few seconds after you finally figure out the equation whatever the equation may be to get you to finally pass to succeed i live for that feeling but i can't get that feeling without going through [ __ ] i feel this equation i feel this one i felt this one i felt this one oh i'm figuring it out so you start to feel it before you even pass before you even get the to the success part and then once you succeed the feeling is unbelievable and you take that feeling of success through failure and you put in your cookie jar he said i'll come back and get you again i'm going to need you again down the road in my life
