I want you to do one thing for me today
and that's keep fighting.
Keep going through this problem,
this situation.
Don't give up,
put one foot in front of the other.
That's how you're going to make it through this,
pass this,
over this
It's going to take the dog mentality.
It's going to take you
get in the hold of the thing and not letting go.
You're going to have to fight and fight
and fight til you can't fight anymore.
Stress doesn't come from the facts.
Stress comes from the meaning that we give the facts.
Yes, those things have happend
But the real question is
if we fight, what's happened?
We've got a problem.
We've got a side.
What are we going to do with what's happened in our life?
How are we going to take this?
How are we going to mold this?
How are we going to turn their life around?
Because when you come up with a new meaning,
get a new life.
A lot of times when people interrupt you
they're managing their own anxiety, boredom procrastination
by coming to interrupt you,
they're creating reasons
to interrupt their own work
or their own emotional state by
coming and interrupting you.
That's what I realized was happening.
What is the single force
that controls the quality of your life?
You got to start with what it is you really truly want now
you got to start with that end in mind.
And then once you understand there is a gap
to where you are and where you want to be.
Here's all we do.
We believe that the most powerful
way to change anything is total immersion.
I want you to ask yourself,
do you give as good as you get,
add up what you're getting
and win against what you're giving,
and then you will know whether you're really joined to anything?
Life is hard
for every time you have a plan, a dream, an aspiration, or a goal.
Do you know what happens every time you have one of those,
this thing comes along call life
So you've gotta ask yourself
what's your why?
What motivates you?
What pushes you?
What drives you?
And if that thing is internal,
if nobody has to call you,
if nobody has to prod you,
if nobody has to reward you,
if you are self-motivated
and self-regulated,
you can have it,
you can be it,
you can do it.
Other than death, all failure
is psychological does not mean
that you won't lose some battles
because you will, we all will.
But it does mean
that as long as you don't surrender,
as long as you don't quit,
then you haven't failed.
How do you experience beauty and joy in your life?
What situations do you put yourself in?
What makes you laugh?
What's the fun stuff for you?
It's funny you say that.
I just retired from the military November of 2015, and I was going, and going, and going,
and going, and I never really ... I was a happy guy, but I'm never in the moment of
like sitting back and I want to travel here to have fun, or do this, or do that, I've
never been that person, but the first time I really got a chance to experience true happiness,
and true peace was, I was ... Like so what I did to myself to become who I am today,
it takes a great toll of your body, so I believe God gave me time to rest, and he took me out
of commission.
Not even the mind of Goggins could get me back up, so I had about a good six, seven
months that I was out, and when I was out I had time to reflect on all I'd accomplished,
and that was the first time in my life where I sat back and said, "Wow."
'Cause only I, I may be telling you some of the story, I know the exact truth of how brutal
my life was, and how I shouldn't be on this show today, and how the mind, and how beautiful
it is.
So what brings me joy and happiness is knowing how beautiful the mind is, and I'm one of
the few people that didn't read about it, didn't experience it through some drug, I
got to experience the beauty of true, fcking willpower.
True, fck you, I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna fcking fail, I'm gonna fcking fail, I'm
gonna fcking fail, and I will succeed.
Just me talking about that gives me a feeling, I know what I did, and I don't need to travel
somewhere, or to have this, have that, I have it all here in my mind.
The beauty is remembering this young, dumb, what people called nigger, is now where I'm
at today, and that is, when you finally get to that point, for me, it's forever lasting
peace.
I could die right now on this show and I'm gonna be a happy man.
That's my happiness is my reflection on the suffering of my journey, knowing I never quit,
or was I guided by anybody on this Earth, I was guided by something more powerful, and
I listened, and I chose the path of most resistance.
