‍

 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, that's great. We're up to date. We, you, but your brain is the only thing you have when you're going through depression. When you're going through hard times and 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 the day where you're alone in this brain, and your brain is talking to you in all kind 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, your, you gotta tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to go and how you want to get there, you gotta control it.

If not, it's.

Overcoming Challenges Through Hard Work

What existed for me was, okay man, how am I gonna fucking make this work? And I, and all I knew back then was hard work. The only way anything gets accomplished. That's all I heard back in those days. You gotta work hard. You gotta work hard. I'm not getting how to, I can't get this paragraph, I can't remember what the fuck's in this paragraph to pass this test to get in the military.

Read again. Still not getting it. Read again, but if not getting it, write it out. And that's how I started learning. Okay, I can't, I gotta write out everything I do and then write it out again. And write out again. And guess what happened. I got it. I got it. I can't swim. I'm negative. Buoyant. Go back again.

I can't swim. Go back again. Go back again. Go back again. I got it. I realize if I keep going back and going back until this just becomes. Your mind was safe. Okay, we're gonna figure it out because he is not going to stop. It's not I'm gonna try one more time. No, I'm going. It's just like alarm clock goes off.

Boop, 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. A lot of people say, trying hard. They, your mind knows, man, they knows This guy's bull me man. This guy's lying. There's no truth behind it.

When I was in the Navy still training people go, how were you there for 18 months? The program was only six months long. You were in three hell weeks in one year. No one's ever done that. How did you do that?

The New Norm: Embracing Suffering

I talk about the new norm. When I lived in a $7 a month place when I was growing up for a short period of time.

I loved it. I didn't know any I, I didn't know any different. That was my norm. Once we moved out of that place, we moved to a $236 month place. I was like, shit, I never want to go back to that little piece of shit. But if you go back to that $7 month place and you realize, this is where I live, this is all I got, your mind says, Roger, that this is home.

So when I was going through Navy SEAL training for 18 months and going back through all the hard parts over and over again, I told myself. Off after the first time. I knew it was gonna be a long journey there. My body was breaking down. It was. It was just how it was going on. I said, you know what? This is my new norm.

So my mind said, it is like going to work. Like you go to work, you put your suit and tie on. I go into suffering every day. Every day, suffering being broken, duct taping my feet up, stretch fracture, shin splits being broken. This is my new norm. And your mind says, if we're not broken, this ain't normal. We gotta be.

Broken. So then your mind starts to get tougher and more cow people. How'd you run on Broken Feet? Broken shins. My mind knew this is how we operate. We're in Navy Seal training, this is what we are. I became hell and that became our new norm. I gave myself no way out. There was nothing outside these walls of hell, nothing.

I became, I loved God, but for a short period of time, I became the devil. 'cause that was hell. I became the boss, the owner, the CEO of Navy SEAL training. That was my mindset and that's how you get through things. You put yourself, you immerse yourself in wherever it is, and you become that. You become that and give yourself no way out.

Pushing Beyond Limits

When I was 297 pounds and I was fat as hell, trying to be a Navy seal, the scariest thing in the world to me, even to this day, was that could have been the rest of my life. I. I thought then I was trying hard. That's the scariest thing in the world, I thought. Then 297 pound working for Ecolab, spraying for cockroach is making a thousand dollars a month.

I thought that was me at my 100% potential. Come to find out, a few years later, I wasn't anywhere near that. 106 pounds less graduated Navy SEAL training went on and do all these other things. Looking back on that. That was me trying hard. That's why people gotta understand what is in us. We have no idea until we start trying hard and really trying hard where you're obsessed with, Hey, this is my new norm.

My new norm is that, wow, this isn't always fun. It's not always meant to be fun. And that's when you know you're trying hard. People hear my story and think this guy is sadistic. I realized how the brain works. I figured out how the brain works. I'm a scared kid and that's what gives me so much power.

I had no foundation and I built this off of just researching the mind. The feeling you get is basically invincibility. You realize that you can't do it all the time when you need to do it. I know I. Can go to a place that I can live in. And when you know that you can run on broken legs and you can do certain things that a lot of people can do, but they're not willing to do this power, this sympathetic nervous system of fight or flight in your fighting it, it gives you this charge of energy of when you're sitting there at 3 30, 4 o'clock in the morning and you're duct taping your feet up because they're broken.

And you're doing it by yourself and you're going through arguably one of the hardest training in the world, and these guys, most of 'em are healthy and you're going through a broken, and you are at a disadvantage, but you're still there. You can feed into that and tap into that for a lot of power. But if you look at it I'm broken, man, like I'm not gonna make it.

But if you look at it as, man, I'm broken and I'm still here and I'm fighting, I. Or find a way to get through this 'cause I have no other place to go. It gives you a lot of power when things start to suck really bad. My brain in a lot of people's brain, don't they? They don't go to your dad beating you up.

Your brain says, we ain't get the outta here. This is miserable. So anger goes away a lot of times when you're suffering because your brain just says, we gotta run, we gotta go. Anger is not popping up saying, oh, I'm gonna show them. I wanna show those people. No, there has to be a much deeper, when I say deeper, it has to be down to mineral soil.

It has to be down to that nice mineral soil where nothing can burn. You can't burn dirt, so it has to be down that low that literally is sub in you. That's at the core of your soul, and, but you.

‍

Finding True Passion and Accountability

You don't find it unless you spend a lot of time with what you wanna be in life. You I can't give that to you.

You can't give it to somebody when you find your true passion in life. And my passion for me when like I want to be, I can give Navy seals or around, I don't give a shit. I wanna serve my country. I cared about. I want to be someone that I'm proud of. I want to look at myself in the mirror.

'cause I was so disappointed. That accountability mirror I talk about. I was so disappointed in what I saw every day. I wanted everybody to love David Goggins, and a lot of people did. I didn't love myself, but I knew a lot of us want to find peace first. So people say, man, you always talk about this suffering and pain, and I'm at peace right now because I went through that, right?

You don't find peace first. If you do Merry Christmas, more power to you. More power. To you. I found peace on the opposite end of finding myself, and no one really finds themself without going through trials, tribulations, suffering, accountability and accountability. S suffering. Being accountable every day for doing right for yourself, for the people next to you.

It's miserable. It's hard. So you know, even the smallest details.
