It's a beautiful world. Because that's where you find yourself.” [17:14] “the only way I became successful, was going towards the truth, as painful and as brutal as it is, it changed me.” [18:56] “The very best may not be I’m number one. The very best is, ‘did I leave everything inside of me out there.’” [20:23] “The mind has the tactical advantage over you at all times. At all times of your life, the mind has a tactical advantage over you. [...] It knows what you're afraid of. It knows your insecurities, it knows your deep dark lies and it starts to push you away from that shit. It pushes you in a direction that is comfortable.” [24:46] “I chose the path of most resistance. Talent not required.” [27:34] “...even the hardest man, in times of suffering, what we do is we forget how hard we really are.” [31:49] “I had to use all this negative shit that was making me weak and horrible as a person, I had to use this as the power that now fueled me. I had to flip it on its head” [34:54] “...seeing the other side, not being afraid to attack what was in front of me, has made me happy.” [35:21] “When you can find drive in your own doubt, fear, insecurities, you become very unstoppable.” [41:27] “...in that fucking sack of shit, you have to dive in that to find more. Because if you're not willing to go in there and face yourself, you’re not gonna find anything” [45:16] “You will never learn from people if we always tap dance around the truth.” [55:12] “I got to experience the beauty of true, fucking willpower. True, fuck you, I'm going to fail, I'm going to fucking fail, I'm going to fucking fail, I'm going to fucking fail. And I will succeed.” [58:17] “I want you to realize that this world, life is one big head game, and once you learn to play the motherfucking head game, it's no longer a game anymore at all. You can start living your life.” [1:02:13] Follow David Goggins: Website: https://davidgoggins.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/davidgoggins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iamdavidgoggins Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidgoggins/
