Goggins has single handedly kept me alive for a good while now , the guy is such a legend , im struggling with severe depression and anxiety and what not but this man has made me to realize that i can overcome my demons .
Who is your Daddy and what does he do? I was obese (wasn’t that heavy but I was still overweight) and depressed, then I came across him and read his book, lost 114lbs and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been ever since, also finishing up my nursing degree.
As a kid, I just came off the mat after a loss and a parent told me "You never get tired when you are winning!" It turned out to be some of the best advice I have ever gotten on and off the mat.
He's just talking about where you should get your energy from. It's easy to keep playing your best when you win, but when you lose you shouldn't get demotivated. Hopefully that's what you originally meant OP.
100%. Anyone with martial arts experience can explain, when you’re kicking someone’s ass, you have all the energy you will ever need. The taste of victory is the greatest high one can experience. Business and life in general works the same way.
@@chartreusecircle1546 even sports. You can tell when someone is getting whooped and they’re mentally exhausted and that’s when YOU get all the energy in the world cause you know the other guy is 1 step from caving in.
That makes you look pathetic especially considering one of the big things Goggins teaches is not putting people on pedestals which is what you literally just did
100 fking percent, i yell to my self "they dont know me son" when i m running and getting tired, that motivates me to go extra mile and another! this guy is fking awesome! 120kg to 110kg in 3 weeks now, going strong!
What makes goggins brilliant is that he takes concepts like integrating your shadow and expresses them so personally that you know for a fact that he arrived at that wisdom himself
Doing the math will save your life. That sentence and mindset from Goggins saved me. I had $24000 stolen from me and i felt like i lost 3 years of my lufe since that's what it took to go from homeless to multiple bank accounts with large sums of money to loose. But doing the math if i saved every penny i could and worked a second job I'd only loose the next 6 months. I haven't made it yet but i haven't run out of months either. Keep grinding.
@@vvs7949 not good. I'm behind schedule and bouts of depression keep hitting me. I don't see how i can make it on time, but making it is a garuntee. It always was and always will be a garuntee that i will bounce back. I'm at a stage where i have the ability to start investing again to get my savings in something more valuable that cash, but I'm waiting on the market to do a thing. If my boss paid me fairly I'd be ahead but he's refusing to give me the raise I'm entitled to for my new position. Looking for alternative work but not taking any risks. Maybe I'll use my two week vacation to work a second job so that i can catch up.
I feel like I relate wholeheartedly with goggins on being able to turn the energy up a notch when you and everyone else starts to feel sorry for themselves, worn out, beaten down, and tired. Go the distance
Listening to David talk about taking pleasure in other people’s suffering, exactly describes the mentality of a pro bike racer. They understand their threshold, but exceed it, knowing that whatever pain they are experiencing, and however brutal, it is self actuated in pursuit of a goal. The greats talk about relishing the agony they are inflicting on their competition, knowing that to do so is the only way to gain those precious seconds and minutes up 25% gradients and mountains stages that last for days. David Millar describes it beautifully in his book The Racer, a great read and an insight into people who literally hurt themselves for a living.
Well to overcome competition yoo have to exceed its expectations which then breaks its boundaries that it set upon you and it cannot possibly touch you nor harm you but instead you did that to whatever it was
I realized this in criterium races. I weigh more than a lot of cyclists, and was really struggling to keep up on climbs in races. The more I raced, the more I realized that lightweight guys used climbs to punish racers like me. I started to do the same thing on flats and descents - punish my competitors with my strengths - the game was simply to see whether they could make me suffer more on climbs than I could make them suffer on flat ground. Cycling is a brutal sport, and a prime example of the “taking souls” mentality.
@@johntharp22 I couldn’t put it better if I tried. It’s a strange sport in that way. A story that unfolds over time. Millar has a great book that describes, in perfect detail, exactly how races play out and the similar strategies he’d use to out smart or brutalise his opponents.
@soul_rust I started my run journey 154 days ago. Started with 4 miles averaging 8min/miles. I've run 154 days straight and I'm up to 9 miles everyday averaging 7.10 mins per mile. This man has fueled me to fight through the dark shit in my head. The thought of not running scares me more than the thought of having to run 9 miles in the cold northeast winter. I'm not doing for Goggins, or work, or my family. I'm doing for my sanity. Those who don't understand, maybe they're lost.
Due to some circumstances I have to pull an all nighter and possibly stay awake the entire day while having slept very little yesterday. This video at some points literally woke me up and really pumped me. I got this.
Damn I love David Goggins whole entire specifics of what you can go through and push through. It is true. Everyone has the capability but if you lack the heart and mentality you will come short of achieving all of that victory
Motivation from misery! Wow. That concept is so counterintuitive but when you think about it, it’s probably purest push you could have. Fueling yourself off pain, doubt, and misery. I never thought of it that way. But if I could find a way to channel and use even a portion of that I’d be able to overcome a lot barriers I’ve put in front of myself. And I suppose there is a sense of satisfaction grinding and gutting it out through hard times and adversity, knowing you’re beating something many, if not most, could. The push kicks you into an even higher gear. Shit man I feel like loser right now. Lol.
I like that Goggins is humble. A lot of people who have attained a high level of something tend to not receive what others say, because they see them as underqualified. Goggins is agreeing with what Joe says. Even though Joe hasn't been where Goggins has, Goggins acknowledges that Joe understands the concept. Some people unless you say exactly what they want you to say how they want you to say tend to try to make you feel like an inadequate, underdeveloped dum-dum.
I still come back and watch this. It awesome. Had my nephew helping me out with some landscaping at my parents house. Picking up mulch bags having him say "Boat crew 2!" He's 4 y/o 😎
Same here bro. Listening to him makes me genuinely feel bad about where I’m at in life and where I could be If I’d just embrace the tough road and and work to potential. Fuck!!! Lol
I am loving your book. I had required my university to purchased your book, and it arrived this Friday; currently, I am in page 219--very interested in your 40% 60% approach.
This man motivates me like no other. I finally started realizing his frame of mind and have been at a gym with a trainer now going on week 6 and I just talked about him last week with my trainer. How his speech and dedication makes me always strive to be better ❤ truth 💯 this man is amazing ❤
Watching this reminded me of a situation where I went through something similar and I now realize that what I was doing that night was taking souls. I was working in the coal mine on the belt crew. Our job was to build, maintenance, and clean the conveyor belt systems that move the coal out of the coal mine. Part of that was shoveling up coal that had fallen off the belt system and piled up around it which can be a fire hazard. So one night they told us we had a state inspector coming in a few days and that belt line 9J had so much spill over that it could get the mine shit down so they wanted us to shovel it all night long for 10 hours. They sent our belt crew plus a handful of other guys from different crews who weren’t used to doing this kind of work. After about an hour or so of shoveling we were all starting to get tired of it mentally and physically but I started to notice the guys from the other crews we’re really having a hard time keeping up and continuing to shovel and that lit a fire in me to go even harder. Every time I would hear one of them complaining about what we were doing I would laugh at them and tell them that the other crews just couldn’t keep up with the belt crew and that started to inspire the other guys on my crew to shovel even harder and faster. Our crew ended up shoveling coal the whole night without taking our lunch break just because we saw it as an opportunity to make the other crews look weak and it fueled us to go harder. At the end of the night on our ride out of the mine you could see the look of defeat and tiredness on everyone else’s faces and me and my boys just soaked that shit up. It was a terrible night at work and we were all physically exhausted but we kept shoveling because of the energy we were stealing from these other guys. Just to be clear I am not in anyway trying to compare shoveling coal for 10 hours to the brutality of what these men go through in hell week and for anyone one who has gone through it or has served in our military in any capacity I thank you for your service to our country.
I know some may have misinterpreted, but that’s bound to happen with a massive crowd of people on social media lol. Don’t down play your hard work though you can’t compare the work between you and goggins but you can compare characteristic qualities.
Quick summary of what this piece meant to me: 1) Embrace the most shitty situation and circumstances imaginable. 2) When others take pleasure in seeing you in a bad spot, you need to LOVE IT! And act like that is the ONLY place you want to be. 3) When you are facing a formidable adversary, do NOT back down. Make them see that they are NOT ever getting rid of you. That you will not give up no matter what. 4) NEVER let them see you sweat. Kill them with your positive attitude that you are not upset, and you love being in that position. 5) Find a way, do the math, and attack the obstacle. 6) Never let someone tell you how you should feel. Don't let them plant those seeds of doubt. 7) Know you can continue on FOREVER! 8) LOVE the MISERY! Embrace it, and others will gravitate to you! Take pleasure in being in the shit! In other words- Stay HARD! Goggins is a Living God!!! 007
What I like about Goggins is he is teaching what most teachers known to mankind will pick n choose which students will get that knowledge but Goggins hi es it to ALL so for that good sir my hats goes off to a great man who does not discriminate!!!!
@@matthewberkin5924 Hey man, I think you don't get his message, he says you should give your all, do things that you don't even like to get the mental discipline, to be able to do everything.
man I had this experience playing soccer as a kid. we traveled to Texarkana and were getting whupped on by this local team, like 12-0. nobody wanted to keep playing, I could just see it in their eyes. so I just started playing as hard as I could. I figured screw it, if they want to win this game, I'm gonna make them work for it. so my teammates saw me doing this futile thing and started playing harder too. the other team was still kicking our butts, but you slowly could watch their enthusiasm fade. they were up like 14 goals and had lost the plot. we were playing our hearts out, running back, slide tackling, falling all over the place trying to get that ball. we never did score on them in the end, but we got a few good shots on goal, and we felt good about our performance that day. we broke through to the other side and lost with honor instead of just losing. I'll never forget that day
@@malvolio01 fo real. That finals that Kobe lost to Detroit in 04 proved to me Kobe had a mental lapse. He was mentally broken. If that was MJ he would've gotten the job done ✅
Akira the Don has further immortalized this part of the podcast. "That's what I realized... I was never breaking the soul of anything in front of me" ...revelatory!
“Every morning in our lives, we have a choice to make. You have the choice to stay in bed and say ‘Forget it, I’m not going to work out today.’ or ‘Forget it, I’m not going to work hard today.’ That’s your choice that you make every single day of your life. Make the right decision.” - David Goggins
When Goggins mentions finding strength just a little bit longer, Rogan says its "something noone can ever teach you." Once he finishes Goggins replies: "take pleasure in the fact that noone wants to be where you're at right now"
2 weeks ago I watched him and he has motivated me to run the half marathon and I've been running 5 times a week getting better ever since. I feel more ready, energized, and clear. I always had a pretty decent diet but I'm now making better decisions. I'm sleeping better, I'm more motivated and more focused. All in a matter of two weeks from running because this guy is giving me the answers I needed. Introducing strength training on Monday. I did a little fitness in highschool but I hated every second of it and only did it because I was paying for it. Now I'm reading about fitness and I'm becoming obsessed. All in 2 weeks because this guy has the grit and dedication I'm looking for. This may be pretty random for a RU-vid comment, but I needed to get it out there, I've been learning so much about different training, lifting, and running techniques and my motivation to run a good time on the half marathon has been through the roof. And even a little of the science behind it too. I already do a lot with my time but now because of fitness I'm gonna try to completely fill my schedule with productive activity, the energy you get from this is amazing.
thales silva hey man! Cool that you followed up. I ran the half marathon in 1h51m34s without stopping at all. Honestly I kinda forgot about him but seriously I owe him one, although I think he’s a little too hardcore I think he has a good story and that’s what I like from him. But yea doing good. nice being active active again lost interest after highschool although to be fair I was never really unfit. still on my feet either biking, running, or at the gym every day!
@@Henrysmith537 Great to hear that man!Keep up with the great effort,don't slow down. It seems to me that you are slowing down.I hope it's not the case,but never surrender,never back down.I truly hope that you gonna get the best you can in your life brother.All the best wishes,i'm hoping for you :)
thales silva yea I’m absolutely slowing down in running but I’m more serious at the gym now anyways thanks a lot man this was a cool little internet moment for me have a good one and I hope things go your way!!!
"You have to take great pleasure in the fact that no one wants to be where the fuck you're at right now" This I will carry with me moving forward, awesome line.
