GET UP AND GET IT DONE - Powerful Motivational Speech | David Goggins

why is the truth so important you have to have the truth starting point the true self is found in that very uncomfortable Zone we all look for toughness we all want it but we look for in a comfortable environment you would not find toughness in a comfortable environment those of you who are listening to this you will not find it the only way you find it is to drown yourself in a position where you're just out of sorts where you can't swim and you're drowning we are drowning will you say no it ma'am dad once

you come face to face with who you are you have a starting point [Music] it's in our head saying you know what man dude you're not you're not doing [ __ ] you're wasting a bunch of percentage here in this other 80 is suffering pain failure failure failure self-doubt Darkness and then a whole bunch of light but to get to this light you got to go through all of this [ __ ] you're not succeeding you're not cheaping it's because you're afraid to go in that dark place to find yourself you're setting goals you know

you can reach and when you do that that fear that is security that doubt that's where you grow you must always set goals and you think you cannot achieve and then there you get better when that alarm clock goes off at four or five in the morning your mind says no you just say this is what we do is what we do now because to get to where you want to go the amount of pain involved the amount of mental pain of how many times you're gonna have to do something that you don't want to

do to get to where you want to go [Music] every day you must ask yourself did I do enough and then once you do this over and over and over again it becomes like breathing I don't want to live this lifestyle but to get to the other side of this have to so if you really want it you realize what trying is and what trying is not your brain is the most powerful weapon in the world once you put away your phones and your computers and all that [ __ ] we have nowadays your brain

is the only thing you have when you're going through depression when you when you're going through hard times you're going through death real life [ __ ] you can't Google that [ __ ] man you're alone you're alone you may have a shrink you're going to you may have a best friend you're going to but there's 24 hours in a day where you're alone in this brain and your brain is talking to you in all kinds of ways and it wants to control you and pull you in these different pockets if you can't control your

own brain and your brain controls you you're [ __ ] you got to tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to go and how you want to get there you got to control it if not it's over so all I knew back then was hard work you got to work hard you gotta work hard I can't get this paragraph I can't remember what the [ __ ] in this paragraph to pass this test to get in the military read again still not getting it read it again but it's not getting

it write it out and that's how I started learning I realize if I keep going back and going back and going back until the [ __ ] just becomes your mind will say [ __ ] okay we're gonna figure it out it'll find a way because he is not going to stop it's like I'm gonna try one more time no alarm clock goes off we're going back I can't read right we're going back I gave myself no way out and my mind realized that they said okay we're gonna adapt and overcome now that was my

mindset and that's how you get through things you put yourself you immerse yourself wherever it is and you become that I became health and that became my new Norm I gave myself no way out there was nothing outside these walls of Hell nothing I watched this segment on TV about these guys going through Navy still training and I couldn't even I I wasn't a great swimmer I was afraid of the water all this crap man I saw these guys as quitting but at the very end it says 22 guys as command officers up there and

he gives this great speech so I started visualizing me being the 23rd guy sitting there with these guys I said man if I could feel that that would change my life and what was that feeling you wanted so bad respect acknowledgment Victory I wanted to win not like beat somebody else it wasn't about that I I just wanted to go the distance everything in my life when something got hard I quit [Music] I had to work harder than you so I quit like man if I could just go that distance that extra mile to just

go just to finish I want to finish I want to feel Victory and victory for me wasn't winning it was just finishing so I said you know what if I could feel like these guys feel it would change my life and literally I started feeling victory just by putting myself in the battle [Music] I started realizing man just by going to war with myself every day and putting these challenges and these goals and these obstacles these insurmountable obstacles now we can move from there if you look at it as meant I'm broken and I'm still

here now I'm fighting I'm gonna find a way to get through this because I have no other place to go it gives you a lot of power and no one really finds himself without going through trials tribulations suffering accountability and accountability is suffering being accountable every [ __ ] day for doing right for yourself for the people next to you it's miserable the more I did the more I gain confidence and then the more I gain confidence the more I realized these Navy Seals man these guys can't do what I'm doing right now I have

no coach had no trainer had no money I didn't know how to lose weight I had no knowledge of what I was doing I was just working I was just sacrificing but I would have never found these tools if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place and your true self is found in that very uncomfortable Zone that's where he came from he came from all these [ __ ] up obstacles and now he's there so everybody goes how do you do that you know exactly how to do that [Music] foreign
