The secret to reach ANY of your goals - The 1-Second Rule ⏳ (David Goggins)

what do you think most people get wrong about motivation they think it's a permanent fix and like I say you know I always tell people do you have to learn to perform without motivation just get back to [ __ ] work it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk get off the podcast don't be on social media too much cut out all the [ __ ] noise get back to the [ __ ] mental lab because that's where the knowledge came from so the one second decision is I had to live through that one second decision several times during this race so this race took me a hundred and some hours okay and this is what people don't get for you to finish that race even though I dnf'd I still finished in the time so there's a lot of pride in that if you're a hundred and some odd hours let me use hell week this is a perfect example hell week's a hundred thirty hours and 130 hours is a lot of seconds a lot of [ __ ] seconds and if you lose let's say you win every second but one you lost it only takes one second for you to lose the whole thing so the one second decision is just that you're in a situation where life is sucking let's say you're in extreme cold water and your life is flashing before your eyes every time that wave goes over your head your thought processes I gotta get the [ __ ] out of this water and you're in hell week and you're hour one of 130 [ __ ] hours it's all fun and games okay because at the beginning of her week the guns are going off it's like a pep round so you're [ __ ] hyped up and your boys are linked arms and you're getting sprayed it's like a [ __ ] pep rally there's structure yelling at your bombs are going off concussion grenades blanks from in 60s yeah who y'all [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] yeah yeah [ __ ] yeah but then what they do is they shut that [ __ ] off they shut it off all that who y'all all that hype gets real quiet and they March you out to that surface zone for something called surf torture and it's got water that Pacific Ocean as cold as [ __ ] so no more pep rally you're now in your head you're linked arms with you know your brothers beside you you don't know if they're gonna be there long or not you don't care anything about yourself you lay back and that first wave hits you your mind goes straight from hour two all the way to hour 130. you can't process five days of this [ __ ] you're you're now in a [ __ ] you like I gotta get out of here you're in fight or flight it's cold I can't be cold this long and then this is that one second decision comes in you forgot every reason why you wanted to be there you don't care about seals you don't care about any of this you don't care about fighting for your country you don't care about that gaudy gold Trident that they put on your chair you don't care about any of that [ __ ] no more all you want to do is go back home you want the warmth you may want something to eat you want your girl to hold you all those things of comfort are there in that one second and this is where people lose so what I do in that one second because we all think about quitting shit's hard but what you have to do in that one second is hard to process information during pain because that pain takes over and you can't think rationally thinking about fight or flight save yourself that's not a rational thought it's not a thought that's going to get you through hard times most people fail that one second so what happens what I do in that one second and there's a bigger process to all this but in that one second I physically stayed in that water because if I get out of the water I quit so I physically stay in the water but mentally I'm on the [ __ ] beach with the [ __ ] instructors and the instructors it's cold outside so they got these Parkers on they got their cup of [ __ ] Joe and they're warm because they've already been through it so now it's your turn to go through it so really I get back with them I'm still in the water physically but mainly I'm back with it I'm chilling I got my Parker on and now I'm thinking logically because I'm warm now mentally I'm warm I've taken that one second that's not quick yet guys let's [ __ ] think about your options where are you going to end up if you quit this [ __ ] where are you gonna go what are you gonna say to yourself because you know you're gonna get warm the second you get on this water you're gonna take a shower and you can be warm and you can be in in five days you could be out so I start thinking logically I calm my brain down because your brain just wants to get the [ __ ] out ring the bell push your helmet don't get warm and then you're really [ __ ] and these are the things you have to think about the one second decision so that's that's all about it's about gaining control of your mind putting things back in the proper perspective and then saying I really do want to be here and I'm going to have a bunch of these one seconds do this 130 hour journey and I have to learn to control these because if I fail one of these one seconds I will not be a seal I will not be a doctor I will not be a lawyer I will not be whatever the [ __ ] it is so that's how important that one second decision is it's all about your mind takes control you you have to say [ __ ] you I run this [ __ ] and that's what that's all about
