(sips from CW4 mug) I am the laziest person I know, and Goggins is 100% correct. Most of the time there will be no switch to flip. No magic, missing piece of information that makes it all click. You either force yourself to grind through and produce tangible results (whatever it is you know you're supposed to be doing, but you're not) or you don't. There is no fantastic emotional "BING!" moment. You will often feel like shit, doing what it is you know you have to do. But it's the people who learn how to do what they have to do feeling shitty in the moment, who go places, achieve things, make their lives better. Again, no spectacular paradigm flip. Just raw, ugly self-discipline. Which everyone talks about all day long. But so few of us actually have in significant quantities.
I mean tons of people are now taking Ozypemic and yes they are losing weight. Basically takes away their appetite so they don't eat as much. America really is built on a "magic pill". Yes....I'm going to say....those taking it for weight loss want that magic pill fix without putting in tons of work to do it naturally and Doctors are prescribing it without any concern.
WELL said... and yes.... VERY True😊
May Jesus guide you and give you strength. God bless💪🏼
Thanks Chief!
Rolls eyes at the smugness.
Everyone knows this deep down but its easier to fool yourself than to start putting in the hard miles. Great clip 💪
You got to go big, NOW, you may not think about your happiness but you gonna have a legendary life

This guy bro!!!!!! Unbeatable mentality! I am so glad I came across him at a such an early age!!
How old are you?
I think the same, buddy. I genuinely feel lucky to have discovered Goggins. I'm taking him and Kobe to help me up built my "UNBEATABLE MENTALITY" ((that was really cool)) dude))
4:27
Just because you found him doesn't mean shit. Don't be proud of that.
@@prateek752bro never said he was proud of it, why are you hating?
LOVE THE SIMPLE APPROACH DAVID GOGGINS TAKES..."JUST DO"...TOTAL RESPECT FOR HIM !
Thank you goggins your words touching me cause im suffering about my failures and i want to change
I'm learning this through my experiences. Long story short the thing I'm doing I have to learn a new skill, and learn emotional control for things I have no control over. It is the hardest thing I have ever done. I've stopped 3 times and started again. It's the small daily fears I have to conquer but bc they're new I sabotage myself bc staying in a struggle is familiar. That is poison the comfort of familiar. Being disciplined is mostly mental. Getting out of the comfort zone is where growth and rewards are but it is ugly. I hate it. But it's the only way to get out of the struggle I'm in now and that is so much worse. I'm not hard yet but getting there
I love this!! It spoke to my spirit!! Let's get it done!!!
What a guy! Thank you so much!!
David Goggins is real. thank you for being real.
He's right and yet most people will never accept the fact. As someone in the middle of their own journey I've been thinking a lot about this. How do you convince people of personal responsibility in an age of convenience, where everyone wants to be (and is encouraged to be) a victim? I'm not special, for me, it took hitting rock bottom, a birth, two deaths, and a life changing psilocybin experience, otherwise I would still be walking around with my head in the clouds, or more likely, I wouldn't be walking around at all. For me, this question is the great missing link that no one seems to be addressing. I'm grateful for this interview. We need more truth speakers like Goggins.
what do you mean walking around with your head in the clouds?
Just do it, get it done....
So true
Man, this thing hit me like a ton o bricks...
You've got to have to have GRIT. I'm not the smartest by any means either. Im in my mid 30's decided to restart my career and become a respiratory therapist. Currently in school, it's tough it's demanding the only thing getting me through it is GRIT not smarts. Thanks Goggins as always!
Keep on going bro
Mid 30s is nothing bro, you got this
God, I love this man!
When you weren't given the gifts, the only thing you can do in life is STAY HARD!!!
I hear you Mr Goggins, A true warrior swims in hell (shit) keeping his\her head above water breathing in heaven, and being grateful for each and every breath their allowed to take in, even thou it's hell it life, and that's always something to be grateful for.
Goggins personifies The Man in the Glass.
Wear socks to bed and hydrate
Woah
Slippers r better than socks lol
Neural Self Gnosis and Rewards 😊😊😊
DG was a baller?? Hell yeah! 🙌🏾
Jesus I just came from the homeless , protesting activists religious part of youtube and thank god I’ve made it back holy shit
FACTS!!!
Yeah, we know what we have to do. However, we look for inspiration to motivate us to do it. You are making a living from inspiring us. Don't minimize it.
"Stick" with it.
This verse comes to mind from the bhagavad geeta - कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
can you give translation?
Thy right is to work only, but never with its fruits; let not the fruits of action be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction.

Bro slapped reality on my fucking face.
What test on the computer is he talking about?
Wow
🙏
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
allLuv
lol
Actually there is some magic to pick up on the generation you’re from, your health, and income availability. The problem is everything has become about money and work literally nothing else we are slaves to money and work for too much Well destroying our house
OUTWORK .
What test is he talking about?
He’ll look back in years to come and think ‘I probably could’ve backed off a bit’
Yeah, I wonder how much of this is an outward persona, I hope in his down time he's a bit kinder to himself
@@anabee8310 Been following him for years, I've probably thought the same thing thousands of times " Man he needs therapy " He can chill now he's earned it, he can relax, he should do more enjoying things etc etc etc. I have watched all his podcasts, read all his books. Am happy to say am really glad he is who he is, in the end you either get it or you don't, most people won't get it but am glad I do.
Agreed
5:40
Stick!!!
1:50
People do not see the truth, they wanna look the way they wanna be looked.- Goggins has seen the darkness in people. 🙄🙄
"This ain't you"
Idk why i''m even commenting.
Humans don't even know why they're alive.
@@waedjradiexactly
Clearly never heard of fentanyl
Or extasy, for that matter
For sure, life is hard, but can the average person live on the amount of adrenaline that he lives on to reach their goal/s?
Wym by adrenaline?
@@Boogeeezy he lives to a standard of discipline and achieving goals by which most people won't adhere to - or, at least not solely through the theory behind his driveness. He is a great example of a man who is mentally tough, but not everyone can be or even become like him. That is exactly the point. And if you think of his military background, he sure as hell had to depend on a high amount of adrenaline to stay fit and to stay alive - given the lifestyle and job description he had. But that does not mean we should not learn from him. If he could survive Iraq/Iran, we can fix our rooms after a hard day's work even if we don't feel like it. Or he would probably say we'd better do it before we go to work. LOL.
There is a magic pill it’s called AG1
Goggins is a stick guy. He hates himself and punishes himself via goals. Jordan Peterson is a better person to emulate. Treat yourself like someone you care about. Do the hard work because you care about yourself. The attitude matters even if the outward end result is the same. I was raised with the Goggins mindset. The self hate can make you excel but the self loathing ests you alive.
👏👏
Bro Jordan Peterson was addicted to benzodiazepines and judged people for drug addiction only to use an experimental procedure to avoid the pain of addiction go goggins
Nooo! Not the JP coolaid. I get the appeal, but the dude is seriously full of it. Goggins is extreme, I don’t think anyone should run on broken knees… imo he’s too locked into the battle and the pain and being hard AF. There’s plenty to be learned from him and also a middle that can be chosen
why is he reading from a paper
Huberman is a hulking beast. I have stopped watching because of it. The sad thing - I really need his podcast.
What does that have to do with his podcast? He's not challenging you to a fist fight
@@nightwatchman7482 clearly, you're not a woman
Hi
Yes there is it’s called dexampthamine and addreall
viagra would beg to differ
Is love a carrot
What I don’t understand is, why would David Goggins study day and night to go into the medical industry, knowing that pharmaceuticals have side effects that negatively affect people? 💊 I just learned today that certain pain medication’s destroy the gut lining, and some people take them every day. The gut-brain-axis is so important. 🧠 Emotions also affect the brain. Why not learn more about that?
He wants to be a paramedic and save lives. Not all Pharmaceuticals are bad, without penicillin a lot of people would've been dead. Don't be an extremist. Yes Big Pharma is corrupt, but it also saved lives.
Medicine isn’t a magic cure. We aren’t wizards who wave our hands and fix illness. Medicine is always a compromise between potential side effects and benefits. Chemotherapy is the shittiest thing a lot of people have to go through but it saves some lives. Same with surgery there’s a chance you can die they can minimise it but there’s a chance and it’s still better than not doing anything at all. There are no magic cures.
He is studying to be a paramedic and save lives that are in immediate danger.
Well, why don’t you serve the country so you have better purpose in the society right? Anything you take will always have pros and cons. What have you achieved in life dear? Done any athletic endeavours to challenge you physically and mentally? Or do you just read books and sedentary for the most part?
@@jacklauren9359 being a good citizen is “serving” one’s country. Imagine if every country had good citizens, would there be a need for the military? Every country has their military and they’re all trained to take pride in and defend their boundaries. They’re not trained to make good world citizens. So yes, David Goggins would be better off learning about how emotions affect the brain. 🗺️ 🤝
First
It’s called lsd 👁🔺💉🗽👽
My anabolic dealer would disagree
Dude sounds like he needs some serious therapy lol.
Why?
Chatterbot response
@@MrSilus2000 As opposed to actually writing chatterbox response? Lol okay
@@someguyusa You're an adult responding like a teenager. That's normal nowadays though.
@@MrSilus2000 And you're an adult responding to an adult responding "like a teenager" in the YT comment section. Who's the real jackwagon here? lol
Except for the Test, HGH, Anavar, SARMs, Adderall, and Anabol that guys like this take.
Who are you talking about?
He really doesn’t show any signs of anything like that, maybe test, but I don’t think someone on adderal would be that consistent anyway because of the constant peaks and lows of their dopamine system. I think it’s just actually impressive, I mean it’s 40% narcissism probably, and 60% hard work. But at least he does the hard work, it’s not actually as crazy for some people as it sounds, i my self live a lifestyle a vast majority of people would think is hell, but I immensely enjoy the friction.
If you genuinely believe it takes Adderall to do 4 hours of work you're more lost than he was at 300 pounds.
You’re triggered and angry. I did all of that 10 years ago in and after college. You’ll find your happiness in your 30s man. Stay positive
@@michaelhaepers9889 No. I'm not triggered or angry. I'm in my late 30s as well. I'm just tired of seeing guys who are clearly blasted out of their minds talking like everyone else can do what they do.
Goggins is famous for denouncing “haters,” but there’s more to life than being hard. He’s admittedly sacrificed personal relationships by being solely focused on his personal goals. Our time on earth is a zero sum game; balance should be the goal, not being hard.
Douglas Murray says you get to choose your regrets, and I think he's right. Precisely because time is finite. We think it's endless when we're young. But by the time we're 40 we learn the hard way that we only have so many years left, and all that undone stuff that we thought we'd get to . . . we have to pick and choose carefully, now. There won't be doing it all. Only doing what seems most important. The rest has to get sacrificed.
Have you served? Spec ops, SEAL, Army Ranger, Green Beret, Combat Vet, being Hard, smart train your body and mind past anything thing you thought you thought was impossible and then go past that over and over again, if aren't aren't Hard, you're dead.
You’re completely right he always says this isn’t a lifestyle you want . “ people will se the truth “I do not want to live like that””. He hated what he saw in the mirror so bad he forced himself into this life. Some of us feel this way and some of us don’t.
@@ga8065 I served. All that stuff sounds nice unless you are one of the soldiers that gets FUBAR'd instead of getting supremely lucky like Goggins. The number of things Goggins has done just in his reactional time that nearly killed him, and in his books fellow BUDS recruits did actually die, but that he mostly doesn't acknowledge is staggering. Goggins may be a beast, but he a very, very lucky beast. And he clearly needs therapy lol.
He's right and yet most people will never accept the fact. As someone in the middle of their own journey I've been thinking a lot about this. How do you convince people of personal responsibility in an age of convenience, where everyone wants to be (and is encouraged to be) a victim?
