David Goggins: Win the Morning
00:00:00.000 | So I actually asked David, what should I do when things get tough?
00:00:03.760 | This is a good fucking question, man, because it's going to get fucking
00:00:08.760 | difficult day after day after day.
00:00:11.240 | That's the thing about what you're doing right now.
00:00:13.040 | That's that's challenging is a lot of motherfuckers can sign up
00:00:16.840 | for the fucking one day event.
00:00:19.200 | A lot of people do a lot of these CEOs, a lot of these people
00:00:22.400 | who don't want to suffer, you know, as a living,
00:00:26.080 | who don't want to suffer as making it a habit.
00:00:28.960 | What they do is they go out and they recruit these people to put them
00:00:33.480 | through a two day, three day fucking challenge.
00:00:36.480 | Anybody can do that shit because your mind can process
00:00:40.560 | two or three fucking days of suck.
00:00:43.440 | What you're doing, my friend, is going to be damn near a month of suck.
00:00:48.000 | So basically, you're going to have a lot of days, especially in the morning time.
00:00:53.360 | The mornings when you wake up and your body says, go fuck yourself,
00:00:58.080 | because I don't fucking like doing this today.
00:01:00.120 | And you're going to look at because you're running six miles a day, I believe.
00:01:03.520 | Which, you know, what's going to happen to your fucking ass?
00:01:06.320 | Is you're going to wake up in the morning and you're going to fucking do what I do.
00:01:10.080 | People think, oh, David Goggins just wakes the fuck up
00:01:12.600 | and he just gets to shit on. He gets this fuck.
00:01:15.200 | No, I don't. I don't get up and get after it.
00:01:18.280 | I look at my shoes sometimes for hours.
00:01:23.200 | I pass them. I go.
00:01:25.880 | I get something to drink. I go to the bathroom.
00:01:28.680 | I watch TV. I'll start doing some work.
00:01:31.760 | And I look at those fucking shoes because why my body's saying, go fuck yourself.
00:01:36.560 | So you have to be able to win the morning.
00:01:40.760 | You have to be able to not allow that to get too deep in your brain.
00:01:45.280 | And when things get really tough for you, when you're out there on like day 17
00:01:52.280 | and your knees are hurting and your back is hurting, your shoulders are hurting,
00:01:56.000 | your elbow, elbow tendonitis and all kind of shit going on.
00:01:59.800 | You got to start remembering your resume.
00:02:02.440 | A lot of people don't remember what the fuck they've accomplished in life.
00:02:08.280 | And at that time of suffering, you have to be able to fucking go through
00:02:14.400 | and pull up that fucking who the fuck I am resume and say, oh, for you,
00:02:22.120 | you I'm sure you studied your fucking ass off for hours and days and years
00:02:26.920 | to get where you're at.
00:02:28.920 | I guarantee you did shit harder than this.
00:02:31.480 | And that's basically what you have to go back to.
00:02:35.080 | But it's hard to do because in that moment of suffering,
00:02:39.040 | all you can fucking think about is getting the fuck out of it.
00:02:42.240 | So you got to take that one second to pull yourself out of that suffering
00:02:46.920 | to have a clear fucking thought.
00:02:49.640 | It's hard to have clear thoughts in the midst of extreme pain and suffering.
00:02:55.120 | Find that clear thought.
00:02:58.040 | Remind yourself of what you've been through back in the past,
00:03:02.320 | back in the day to get to where you're at today.
00:03:05.160 | So that's what I do is a counselor reminder.
00:03:07.720 | And then through that process, I guarantee you your mind and body will say, oh,
00:03:13.240 | we got this. We've we've been here before.
00:03:16.840 | Maybe not in that kind of pain and suffering, but we've been here
00:03:20.400 | before in the demons of your own mind.
00:03:23.240 | So that's the best reminder in the world.
