TRUE BEAST MENTALITY. I WILL NEVER QUIT - David Goggins Motivational Speech

[Music] at the end of day I ask myself one question can I take one more step and usually the answer is yes so if you can answer that question and not take another step that is real failure that is real quitting so a lot of people can take one more step but they choose not to I don't know if you can take two steps you got to answer that question after you take the first step but I can always take one more step so if I choose not to that's on me I got to live

with that most people think I'm just some G animal who runs and yells and just says mother all the time and that's nowhere near the truth that's maybe what they see in a one minute video that's what we believe but there's a lot of thought behind a person being a born loser becoming who I am today you'll just wake up and just Rocky you got to wake up and think about you know there's a process to getting better for me like I built goggin from the ground up I was born David Goggins David gogins wasn't

good enough he was a scared bullied abused kid that kid whenever something got tough no matter how hard I trained no matter how ready I was whenever something got tough for me David Goggins the real David Goggins would come out and he would quit so I realized this over a period of time so I had to build goggin and in that process I have to go back to that mental lab and that mental lab is at scratch that mental lab isn't that trained humility and so that's where I get better I get better when I'm

digging holes in the ground when I'm waking up early knowing I don't have to do these things that's where I get better just got to run 120 M week 2,000 pull-ups 4,000 push-ups and hundreds of reps at the gym I hear it all the time Goin has a great message but he don't want to end up like him his body's alled up you're not afraid of having the Fed Up body you're afraid ofing effort see what you don't understand is this we're all being tested and that Ro to success is a bumpy ass Road has

the potholes Nails detours and [ __ ] yeah a lot of you are going to die with a nicely preserved body no plates no bad knees no bruises no scars stay hard there's this big category of people I'm realizing as we have this conversation today that they're not super successful they're not struggling mhm they're like successful enough that they never have to you can get to the point where you don't have to impose friction you even said it right your bank account is in a place where you don't really need to do all the things

you do probably not even a small fraction of them do nothing right but you realize the stick and being haunted is the uh the fuel in the engine right and you'd be a you'd be Tru crazy to give that up because you you've internalized all that but most people they're they're good enough yep for them yep and so they don't actually want to be better badly enough in order to start going rung after rung you well think about when you build willpower and think about how much I've built now that you know about this this

I didn't know about but think about how much I've built everything I've ever done in my life I didn't want to do everything every day I'm a lazy piece of sh and I'm one of the hardest working people that ever step foot on this planet Earth and I'm saying that very proudly CU I know what I do it's not cocky I'll tell you I'm stupid and I also tell you the exact opposite of what I've done it's the truth it is the truth so imagine how much I've developed in that time frame but this the

scary thing why most people don't want to do that build that willpower is because this scary it unlocks a whole bunch of things about who you are and who you're not and a lot of people don't want to go down that journey to discover who they are and who they're not cuz it's it's not a pretty journey I mean I've gone down it it's not like I went down at once I go down it all the time and when you unlock that and you can't just turn it off like people say hey how how come

you haven't retired yet I built all this [Music] willpower do you think it's going to let me just retire because my my my knees hurt it's telling me every morning I wake up like man I don't my knees hurt mouth my legs hurt my body hurts but you can still run so why aren't you running if you can still run there'll be a time when you can't lace them up anymore but you can still run so I still run when the time comes I can't run the body will say you just can't run but if

I can still do something that willpower that I have created it makes me do it every fing day and that's what they don't get what builds a human being is you start with the small building blocks and before you know it man you become something that you it doesn't even make sense to most people because it's just who you are now that's why I can still run at 50 with broke with at for now with broke down knees and broke down body because my body knows you still can therefore I do second you stop the

willpower is gone and that's beautiful I'm so glad you brought that to me because I always wonder what's this separation thing now at 24 years old I started building something that I didn't even know was going to be what it is now at 49 and that's all it was was just that the biggest thing you have to do is shut off technology you have to go dark and what I mean about 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 to say you know what man I'm up so you got to go to the truth first who are you 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 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 cuz it's too loud find your purpose from there all right you got to start planning people love the planning phase cuz it's very comfortable then from the planning phase you got to go to execution so the execution phase where 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 cuz 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 I'm not the smartest kid in the world okay instead of somebody saying Oh no you're smart no no don't say that to yourself I said to myself no I'm a dumb mother okay Roger that how you get smarter educate yourself so the things that

we run from we running from the truth we're running from the truth man so the only way I became successful was going towards the truth as painful and as brutal as it is it changed me it it allowed me to become in my own right who I am today so hopefully I can help people that believe that they're much less than what they truly are help them find greatness in themselves and greatness isn't running 200 miles at a time or doing 4,000 puls or being a seal greatness is whatever the hell you dreamed of in

your own mind you got to first see it you got to First create this Vision in your mind and then that's when I come into play once you create this Vision in your mind it's how am I going to get there now and that's when I come into play But first you got to create your own vision and it's not external it's the the vision created is inside of you so until you create that I'm I'm I'm nobody to you I had two choices either I was going to sit in that failure and give up

or I was going to make a decision to step out of the darkness you see when you in that Darkness you want to sit there and wait for the light to come when you're in that Darkness it feels uncomfortable but you can't wait the only way out is to step forward to face your fears to become your own light I had to believe in myself like never before I had to find my inner power now I'm not going to lie to you there's going to be a lot of times yall about to fail we are

all a work in progress and one day you'll be sitting in the dark like I was and you going to be asking yourself what am I going to do now but in that moment I want you to remember the power of you you will change the world when crisis strick in your life and in the Chinese language crisis mean danger but it also means opportunity and this is an opportunity for for you to grow and you've got to be so relentless regardless of what comes down the PIP that you're always looking for a way to

get over always looking for a way that you can break through always looking for a way that you can win always looking for a way that you can strike a telling blow telling yourself every day here I go again and I got what it takes this is my day and nothing out here is going to stop me everybody wants to be a beast until it's time to do what Beast do and what you have to understand is I do what Beast do and you cannot just say you want it it's cute to say it but

when it's showtime when the sun comes up you got all the books you got all the tapes you got all the access now it's time to hunt and what separates you from everybody else is that when it's time to hunt you're ready to hunt a true Hunter hunts a true Hunter's goal is not to Pride a true Hunter's goal is to hunt that's what they live for they live to hunt they don't just live to catch it it's the whole process when you are a true Hunter you don't hunt from 8 to 3 why because

the gazelle may not be open from 8 to 3 you hunt until you get a gazelle and you don't stop until you get one you will never know that you have faith until you're in are good fights real faith is proven in the furnace of Affliction in the time of adversity you're stronger than you think you are you're tougher than you think you you can go through more than you think you can this ain't no time to Buble this ain't no time to collapse this ain't no time to give up you may look B for

the while but stand you might be embarrassed but stand no devil in hell can destroy you if you keep in the back of your mind I'm coming out of this I don't know how I don't know when but I do know that before it's over I'm coming out of this this wrong when the voices rise up in you and say you're not good enough be strong and say I've come too far to turn around
