The Secret To Becoming UNSTOPPABLE David Goggins Motivation

[Music]

i was just an insecure scared kid

and the only way i could find myself

was to put myself through the worst

thing possible

my biggest advice to give everybody in

the world

is like i say we live in an external

world

everything is is you got to see it touch

it it’s external

if you can for

the rest of your life live inside of

yourself stop listening to everything

that is makes no sense all these

insecure people putting their

insecurities on you you got to flush it

out

you got to just be whoever the hell god

or whatever the hell you believe in if

you believe in nothing but yourself i

don’t care what it is

you got to take everything and throw it

away

you have to believe in one thing and

that is yourself

and and i’m not saying don’t believe in

god or what you believe in but right now

for you to find

greatness in yourself you’re not going

to find it

by looking in a book or by even hearing

me i may give you the spark

but you’ve got to go inside yourself to

find it and that means you got to be

quiet

go in a room stop talking search

your soul search your mind search your

abilities

and you’ll find it

but if you’re not looking for it

you won’t find it

so you got to go start your journey and

the journey starts with you finding why

the hell am i here on this planet earth

why am i here

if you don’t know that you will live the

rest of your life searching always

asking the question why

well it was pretty crazy for me it um it

took a while to get to that point

where enough was enough

um

what happened

i i came home one night from work

spraying for cockroaches

and

long story short i turned on the

discovery channel i saw some guys going

through navy seal training

and they were going through hell week

and they were getting their ass just

beat you know in and out of the water

guys ringing the bell

um they was suffering and i was weighing

like 297 pounds

and i had to make a change in my life

you know i was at all-time low

and i wasn’t going anywhere and i was

exactly what everybody said i was going

to be which was nothing

so i had to make a change

no one was helping me out

my dad made my mom kind of irregular so

she worked three jobs went to college

full time so she was never around

one time this this person drew a picture

of me and you know said we’re going to

kill you you’re on my spanish notebook

and i took it to my principal and my

principal said they spilled niger that

was the best device he can give me so

long story short what i realized was no

one was here to help me i started

shaving my head when i was 16 years old

and the feeling i had every morning i

looked in the mirror

was horrible

and i didn’t want to feel like that

anymore and how i felt was a a kid going

nowhere a kid that was scared and most

kids will accept that and look for help

but the best thing that happened to me

no one helped me

no one thought sorry for me

no one looked at me and said like this

day and age they’ll they’ll take you in

and they’ll tell everybody stop picking

on this person back then they didn’t

care the kkk marched in our fourth july

parades

they had to stay a hundred yards back

but they marched in it

that’s how this town was and my mom

cared about me

but my dad took our soul

and she you know did the best she could

i had to figure out

i wasn’t going to be a punk kid all my

life

so the only way i could turn around

was to suffer

i had to build calluses in my brain

the same way i built calluses on my

hands so i broke the ginsberger royal’s

record for pulps a long time ago

but i failed at it twice

and i did 67 000 pull-ups and trying to

break this record so to do 4030 pull-ups

i had to do 67 000 for training for that

and so what i realized is for me to

become the man i wanted to become

i saw myself as the weakest person god

ever created

but i never blamed god for anything he

did to me

so i wanted to change

that to be the hardest man ever created

am i that i don’t know but you had to

have a goal

and my goal when i was sitting there not

going to school being bullied being

having no self-esteem

my goal was the only person that could

turn this person around is me the only

way i can turn around is put myself

through the worst

things possible a human being can ever

endure and that’d be the only way that i

can build this brain to handle anything

that comes in front of it callousing my

mind through pain and suffering

in the end like what would your advice

be to that 16 year old kid who’s staring

in the mirror does not like what he sees

but is still running from adversity

well my biggest advice to him is that

first of all he won’t like what i say to

him

because i’m going to say the exact

opposite of what the world today’s world

is saying so we read a bunch of books

nowadays as as humans we we want to find

out how to be someone else

what we don’t do is we don’t go

inside

so literally turn yourself inside out

read the book that says like we’re

writing a book every day of our lives

but we never read that book

so what i would challenge this young man

or young woman to do

is you have to look inside of yourself

to see what you really want what are you

passionate about we use these words and

these little phrases of only the strong

survive and also the crap they’re all

just [ __ ] words

i get so tired of hearing people just

talking like right now someone may think

goggles just talking

you don’t know me

so when i speak i speak from passion i

speak from experience i i speak from

suffering

i have to tell this young man and woman

that the only way i believe and this is

just my experience in life

the only way you’re ever going to get to

the other side of this journey

is you have got to suffer to grow

to grow you must suffer

and

some people will get it and some people

won’t but they have to see what their

journey is to start their journey

several people live to be a hundred

years old and they have great lives and

they have great kids their kids go to

college and lost their stuff

but somewhere in their life

there was a point where they had a

decision to make

they can go left or right on this path

left was the easy route

right was a hard route

a lot of people take the easy route and

they had a good life that way

but the better life was going to the

right side

and you may have 20 years of pain and

suffering to get past it

but a lot of us died never truly

starting our journey

and

i would tell this young person you got

to start your journey it may suck

but it will it will come out the other

side where you’re coasting

every day

we’re seeing who we are as people when i

was growing up

i i lied for people to accept me because

i didn’t accept myself so i would make

up stories so then you would accept me

into your world

i would uh everything i did was for

someone else to like me it wasn’t until

i started reading my own book about how

pathetic i was as human being i could

blame my dad i can blame kids at school

i could blame having health issues atd

my mom not being around great mom but

she was doing her thing

i could blame a lot of people

and that’s the book i was reading

and i put it off on everybody else it

wasn’t until i said you know what for me

to fix this i gotta read what the hell

what the [ __ ] is wrong with david

goggins not blame anybody

read my books okay i’m afraid of my

shadow

how can i overcome that

go in the military get your ass kicked

do things you hate to do be

uncomfortable every day of your life

roger that i’m not the smartest kid in

the world

okay

is there 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’re

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 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 pull-ups or being a seal

greatness is whatever the hell

you’ve 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 nobody

to you

i’m slowly writing a book right now it’s

taking me four or five years because i

have so many things to talk about it’s

gonna be several probably several books

but um the first book are probably about

my life story

how i came up

and um a few lessons learned along the

way

but you know i have so much to talk

about so much to say

you just give people

a lot more than hope

so
