"You're either getting better, or you're getting worse...you're never staying the same..."
"You're either getting better, or you're getting worse...you're never staying the same..."
That’s a bunch of horse shit
@@thomasrudder9639 Au contraire, that's the only wise thing he said.
@@Judchanna pretty sure its not the only wise thing he said lol
@@TopMep facts. JH just wasn't listening
You don't ask God to make it easier, you ask God to give you strength.
True 🤔
If he gives you strength, It does in fact become easier. wouldn't you agree now.
@Comment Expert you are contradicting yourself. you said " You are your god" but later "And RIGHT NOW. hate is winning. Prove me otherwise." you have a good insight > you are your god ---but now, as gods do, create your own reality full of love. Do me a favour, tommorow when you leave your house, adjust your mind and feelings, focus more on nice things, nice people, flavours, scents, --- act like an alien who is observing like an explorer and cant be really bothered. Try to avoid energy vampires. Try it every Day a little bit more for some days. that can be fun and insightful. if you really going to try this it would be nice to hear from you if you had fun or if somethings changed or nothing changed at all. Me and my wife are, so to speak, some kind of modern shamans and have many many funny, cool and sometimes very demanding or even spooky lessons that are very easy to implement in everybodys life. So if you mean it serious "you are your god" than start tommorow, dont. I only wrote this because i do not accept "And RIGHT NOW. hate is winning. " and you should´nt accept it to. Because you are a god, but maybe you want Hate to win. Peace
Thank you Kevin Smith for mentioning God. God's been ignored in most of today's social media fans, falsely believing that all are in their human control. God bless us all.
@Comment Expert Jesus performed super many miracles, and all of these miracles were questioned by non-believing SCIENTISTS just like you do, dear friend. But when these non-believing scientists started to do a lot of experiments on the miracles, USING THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC METHODS AVAILABLE, they found out that they were true. All of these proofs are in the records in the Vatican Libraries with the NAMES OF THE NON-BELIEVING SCIENTISTS and the dates of their experiments FOR ALL PEOPLES TO VERIFY. But even if you cannot go to the Vatican Libraries in Rome, Italy, think about these for a second. Thousands of the CONVERTS, a FEW YEARS after Jesus went back to Heaven, most of them Jews and ROMAN SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS, were willing to die rather than deny their faith in God. WERE THESE CONVERTS SUPER CRAZY to endure THE MOST PAINFUL TORTURE AND DEATH rather than renounce their FAITH in God and go free? While it is understandable for many Jews to be converted to the Faith by the ORIGINAL APOSTLES AND THEIR STUDENTS AND SUCCESSORS, it seems UNLIKELY THAT ROMAN SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS would CONVERT from their BELIEF IN MANY GODS, to the Catholic Faith in Jesus. What converted these ROMANS was when they witnessed so many Catholic Jews who were INUMANLY TORTURED AND then FED to the HUNGRY LIONS, and while the lions. that were PURPOSELY MADE HUNGRY FOR WEEKS, were eating these Catholic Jews, PIECE AFTER PIECE, the converts were SINGING and did NOT FEEL ANY PAIN. Those stories were WRITTEN ON PAPYRUS MANUSCRIPTS (that are super long-lasting) by THOUSANDS OF WITNESSES, as the LION FEEDING of CONVERTS were all done in THE ROMAN COLISEUM (something like an NFL STADIUM). These manuscripts were discovered by the SCIENTISTS who were ARCHEOLOGISTS mostly, but not exclusively, in the CATACOMBS and have been COMPLIED and PRESERVED in the Vatican Libraries FOR MANY NON-BELIEVING SCIENTISTS TO INSPECT as to how old the MANUSCRIPTS are. The methods utilized by these non-believing scientists are known as CARBON DATING, which is SUPER, SUPER ACCURATE, so much so that Carbon Dating can even tell how old a CAVE MAN'S (the EARLIEST HUMANS during the Dinosaur times, which are MILLION OF YEARS OLD or later) DRAWINGS are. Read about the miracle of Lanciano, and many other SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN MIRACLES. Most of them MIGHT BE AVAILABLE ONLINE, if not, buy books about these miracles. At the end of it all, if THESE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN PROOFS still don't make you believe, I RESPECT THAT TOTALLY FRIEND. But think about this, friend. This life on earth is short, even if you live to be 779 YEARS OLD. Jesus promised TO THOSE who believe in Him that they will enjoy NON-ENDING LIFE in PERFECT, NON-STOP HAPPINESS and PERFECT LOVE. What if all of these promises made by God the Son, Jesus, ARE TRUE? When you die, as all of us will die, and you stand before the God Who is TRUE after all, asks you why you did NOT BELIEVE in Him, after all the SACRIFICES that His Son Jesus made, and with all the TONS of PROOFS that have been VERIFIED BY FORMERLY non-believing SCIENTISTS, have been MADE AVAILABLE for ALL PEOPLES TO INVESTIGATE, how are YOU GOING TO ANSWER GOD? Remember, Hell is real, a place of non-top suffering, where non-believers go, while Heaven, is REAL, and is the place of non-stop HAPPINESS AND LOVE, where believers go. What if all these are REAL? ARE YOU WILLING TO BET your chance of being PERFECTLY HAPPY AND LOVED for your UNBELIEF? REMEMBER that your belief in the NON-EXISTENCE of God also NEEDS TO BE PROVEN to all readers of this ISSUE. WHAT ARE YOUR SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIABLE PROOFS? Again, I will RESPECT IF YOU STILL WON'T BELIEVE in God. And I will pray for you, that you will be happy and loved after you die. God bless us all.
The humility of the interviewer made the encounter very pleasantly enjoyable.
Thank you so much for your kind words 🧡
When I was 18 I joined the Army to try and toughen up. I was the Worst at everything from making my bed to shining my shoes. I got alot of shit from my platoon. I worked harder than everybody. I never fell out of a run and eventually went from the worst guy there to getting promoted by my drill sergeant. I will never forget it.
And now you are hired to make fridges and sh*t, right ? :-)))))

David Goggins is intense and real. I love his story. Great interview Lewis!
Goggins gets a little bit wiser every time I see him.
I'm 70 years old and I have never heard that anyone ever talked about my life like this guy.
Peace to your soul Rob 🤝💌

Accept christ as your personal savior and go to a level of happiness of eternal life and pray for me along the way 🙏.
This was one of the best interviews Jocko has done in while kzhead.info/sun/rZaqfNevqaqno68/bejne.html
The way he speaks, with such conviction, is mersmerising.
"I figured out the one piece I was missing. I thought it was cars, I thought it was women, I thought it was money. I thought it was everything! The one-piece I was missing was me having the courage to face myself." -David Goggins
Gov cooi
26:08
Perfect
The one piece?
42:30 . "Someone once told me the definition of hell. On your last day on earth, the person you became, meets the person you could have become".
The definition of hell is the mind that comes up with that thought.
@organicsuperman It's just a thought. It's not even a real situation.
@organicsuperman Yeah, from the mind :) Then the repetition of the thought becomes more hellish than the situation itself.
@@CJ0101 your very pretentious in the way you come across.
@organicsuperman :)
“Life is one big mind game...and you’re playing it with yourself” Wow!
I disagree to an extent
@@nonebelievingbeliever3753 everyone views life differently
it also gets you to play with yourself
“I want God to say ‘He exceeded even MY expectations’ “. 44:25 I have never heard anything so powerful in my life 💙
Inspiring.
“When ever my life is getting better, god will put another challenge in front of me” David Goggings
that's the gist of life. how you react to the highs and lows determines your health
u always seem to get the next challenge from the person above after getting thru something. helps to eXpand oneself. never-ending quest. you may reach different levels but you're always on the road.
God is faithful to strengthen you and make ALL possible. He feeds us, prepares a table full of food before your hungry enemies, anoints your head with that oil that feels good and blesses you, he is your strong tower and shelter when you are weak.Even when you are walking down the path of murderers you will fear no evil, because your terrible God is a warrior who favors you, protects you, and takes care of you. He is a good shepherd to his flock. (Found some in Psalms23).
It was not a quote it was just a thing about his life.
amen
This perosn is the single singular reason why I found the animal in me... From a person who could not complete 1 km, i found myself during an 80 km long mountain trail ultra last week... Hats off to goggins....

Jishnu Pradeep legend. I can’t wait to post my own example when the time comes because of Goggins
That’s bad ass Congrats

My Mom was emotionally and physically abusive. It stunts your development. I didn't really start to get my life together until my 40's. And my 2 sisters never recovered. One of them is a homeless drug addict and the other is a looney version of my Mother.
Sorry to hear that man. It hurts me inside when children are abused and worse, have no way out. That's just too evil. I'm happy you got yourself together.
I can relate to your comment so I understand you and it’s never too late to improve yourself and your quality of life. Keep going and doing your best, much love from LA ☀️ God bless you!
I know this story all too well Brother. Keep pushing.
sorry to hear yall struggles man
Glad to see you got your 2 minutes 13 seconds to get back up!! Just keep that mentality no matter what happens.
“100% is dead”. Who comes up with a thought like that? Respect!!!!!
I discovered Goggins over a year ago, in the midst of my own journey. Goggins taught me to face my darkest self and I took that and made it my fuel. This once weak, sick and skinny woman went back to school, got certified in health and fitness training and is now a Crossfit Trainer. I owe you my mentality, Goggins. Be comfortable with being very uncomfortable. Thank you Lewis.
Be uncommon among uncommon people...DG
good for you
very inspiring
Efrat Lev fook yeahh
That you are a Crossfit trainer only shows that you are still a sheep as opposed to a shepard.
This David conquered all the Goliaths in his life and now he’s helping others conquer theirs, beautiful!

Amen 🙏
Well said.

“Real authentic confidence comes from hard work…” 💯💯
An hour ago , I was crying cause the only two people I got in this world ditched me But now I feel better and all thanks to you 🤠
i feel you but stay strong, it is better to be alone than to be with half hearted people who just take from you and never give. i learned it the hard way. you are worth so much. sending you all my love ❤️❤️
@@farihahkhalidshaikh1535 I went threw this from age 15 and it gets easier... finally found a hand full of people who I can trust. Quality over quantity everytime. I wouldn't change my experiences now. Made me stronger
@@Smyrna37 Just curious but is your username a reference to being an ex-Jehovahs Witness?
You are never alone... talk to god and your angels they are there for strength and comfort...❤
This was a year ago. I hope your feeling better brother❤️
I love that he said “God made hell my teacher”. I totally agree. I am a survivor of the Killing Field of Cambodia and people look at me now that they couldn’t believe it. I wrote my story From Hell to Heaven by Sophal Pettit. I am at peace now because I know what hell is like. Growing up here as teenagers without speaking English and find a place to fit in learn the culture..it was not easy...but that teaches me to be who I am today. I am blessed and grateful for everything God blessings me with.
I totally understand. And maybe that's why Satan is actually the Light Bringer. Congratulations on Your Book and Wish You The Best!! 🐞
What an incredible story. You used what could have been total tragedy and turned it into peace and wisdom. ❤
I will be reading your book. I hope you have a very happy, healthy and long life for the rest of your days.
You took a tragedy and made it out. I applaud you
♥️♥️♥️ I can't find adequate words. But to go through that and have faith! Hallelujah. 💪💪💪🎯🎯🎯♥️♥️♥️
I can't love this interview enough. David is extremely wise. He's like Yoda and a bro. He's Broda.

No one cares you ran 100 miles. Why don't you tell people that you ate donuts for 100 hours! You are a fraud.l
What the fuck are you talking about are you high?
Ha
Most powerful conversation I have ever seen; cried when I recognized the same barriers that were in my life. We are born alone, we die alone. You is all you are ever promised, everything else is environment. Live for you, you are the only one you are living for, living for anyone else, means you are not living your life.
You are never alone you have angels assigned to you at the moment of conception and God is right there beside you waiting to talk with you , God bless you✝️🙂🔥
👊🏻💪🏻
Yes same here. Sometimes I wish I had men like this in my life when I was growing up. Most of the grown men I grew up around were clowns, always joking but never teaching the young men the facts of life.
You’re 2nd person besides Goggins who realizes “you’re born alone and die alone”. This is so deep to realize. It’s a hard and sad truth.
Beautifully said
1. You are your own Hero 2. You are your own Leader 3. You are your own Master We idolise so many people and we want to be them we want to be someone else and in doing that you lose all the potential of who you are. You must hold yourself accountable for being your hero. You make so totally accountable for who you are. You focus on you and only on yourself to become the best person you can be for others. Because we leave a lot on the table not searching for who we are, you die not knowing your greatest potential.
Mental toughness is created by a circumstance your ego can't control. I wish I could run, I love it, my emotions were more stable. Now I'm going on year #3 getting chemo for pancreatic cancer. I know I'm a miracle but my ego doesn't like the space between. What matters is nature, fresh air, warm hugs, a conversation where no one is fearful of vulnerability. What I miss the most, friendship. 💚 Thank-you all for your kindness and prayers 💚❤️ Merry Christmas to you all. God Bless everyone. 💞🤗😊
It makes me so sad to hear that. Praying for you to he strong.
Big hugs for you, Debra! (Maybe check Dr Gail Brenner and Dr Shefali) Trust that your best spirit will connect you with people with that spirit 💜
I'm praying for you x
You should combine fasting with chemo for optimal results. Good luck

I don't stop when I'm tired. I stop when I'm done
@EvilAlbear LOL
@EvilAlbear He is made like this... you couldn't do anything about this...
He got that quote from Eric Thomas
The moment you are tired IS the moment you are done. Tiredness is here to help you, it's a signal for to take a break and recharge energy. It's not very wise to trash your navigation system just because it shows that you're moving in the wrong way. Yes you may still reach your destination but you could have reached it with way less effort.
Siim Land you’re not alone many of us.
I'm from Brazil (country). I have to say ... this interview was the best I've seen in years... . gratitude to you, guys.
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for listening.
Holy fuck.... this dude literally explained me and my life.... I got through it after my attempted suicide.... I never thought I was alone in this but, to hear someone whom I never heard of until this morning.. it's amazing, I hope anyone dealing with similar issues, hang in there, you'll make it. You're worth it.
You are so worth it and I'm glad you made it through. I suggest you listen to his audiobook. It's this interview to the 10th power.
@@Liz-ic6jb people like you make my heart so warm, thank you for uplifting and encouraging others, it makes my day to see people like you still exist, who take their time out to write words of upliftment for others, you are amazing. i wish you all the success ❤️❤️

Yes, no more excuses. I take responsibility now, Just more Motivation. I love it. 💪
I keep telling this to those African babies just dying in Africa of starvation. They don’t listen though, they just lay there and die of starvation.
@@dingle2987 I don't disagree, but spare me your snark, please. Africa is insanely complicated. There's never been a famine there in modern times that wasn't the result of and worsened by tribal conflicts and corruption. I read PJ O Rourke years ago and was shocked. No famines. The Irish famine was politics and all modern African ones are too. Use your tremendous privilege to better purpose, sir. Why blast entrepreneurs for not solving a ( currently ) unsolvable African crisis? New technology and new treaties could be game changers for many African countries. There's every reason to hope. Now, leave off bagging on people preaching self improvement. 😘
@@diatplay I don't bag on people preaching self-improvement. I only bag on people who preach fake stuff like putting positive energy into the universe brings it back. A theory that was made up in the 1900s, and has zero scientific proof. A theory that states, if researched properly, even the unfortunate are to blame for their bad situations because they chose it before even being born. I hope all people who preach that mind warping and depressing blame nonsense to go to hell where they belong.
@ToTo DeNiro My teachings? I don't believe in BS like The Secret or the Law of Attraction. My teachings are in actual provable science. Law of Attraction theory just leads to kids going to counseling for depression because someone stuck it in their heads that they are at fault for things they aren't responsible for like being raped.
I ship out for the Marine Corps on Feb 11, 2019. I'm homeless right now, but I have a full time job, about to get a second one and it's also 30 degrees out where I live in Indiana right now. This man CHANGED my life. Had the opportunity to meet him at the Patriot Tour and it was worth every second. He is the real fucking deal. I cry when I hear him speak, perspective is everything to me now and he taught me that. Thank you David Goggins...thank you.

I recently discovered David Goggins and I am so fascinated by his life story and what he is giving to people. Everything is coming from a very authentic real place. Thank you David and Lewis for such a inspired interview.
You're welcome, thank you for watching🧡
This is by far one of the BEST PODCASTS Lewis... I'm Mind-Blown. It should be retitled "How to Live to your greatest potential, become a LEGEND and inspire millions of lives"
Been there! Took me forever to get my Bachelor's. People have no idea how long it took for me to do one essay. Like you said, it would literally take me 10 hours or more to do what it took others to do in 1 hour. I had to work myself up everyday before I went to class to ignore the laugher of the other students.
"Most
I'm also far behind and needing double the time for my bachelors. But I'm trying to do my bachelor thesis and fight with the fear of it everyday. But I will do it! And I will be so proud!
That's quite the accomplishment, you know how many ppl quit and gave up. You persevered and achieved something a lot of ppl haven't.

@@sarahs7751 26:25
@@sarahs7751 haha that's all I wanted to know too
“You’re always a victim” That’s truth. I’ve seen a lot of people destroyed by believing they’re a victim. It’s easy to believe because it’s true. Everyone has been a victim but you can stop being a victim as soon as you rid yourself of that mentality. Let go of that victim hood and looking for it to be made right, it never will be and you’re wasting life and your potential still being that victim
Victim hood is actually encouraged by being a social upper hand now a days. I almost died and was partially crippled in a accident and played victim for years and it almost destroyed me. Now I wouldn’t take the experience back as Iv grown into a person I never thought I could be
Yes so much to this! I played victim like an idiot for most of my late teens into my mid twenties. I’m so happy I’ve finally left all that behind. My mom did the same thing most of her life. We are changing together. It did nothing for her I have realized that. And she’s realized it too! So happy we are on the road of breaking down and analyzing ourselves and seeing maybe we are wrong in certain things and acknowledge it all and fix it.
@@lopez8872 That takes a lot of strength and courage to do. Climbing out of that pit of despair is seriously an impressive thing worthy of a lot of acknowledgement, hopefully by yourself each day. I, too, have had people very close to me trapped in their victimhood. Sadly, they’re still there through what I always assumed was fear or weakness, but am beginning to see more as their own malevolence. It’s difficult to accept that some don’t want “better” because they get joy from their sadness and that if other’s despair. They’ve chosen their side and the only thing you having further contact with them will do is drag you over to their mentality rather than you helping them in any way at all. You resent them because they crush your spirit in one final way: making you come to terms with the fact that you can’t help some people, no matter how much you try.
@@JA-oo9qp I know for me and for a lot of people I know who operate under victim hood (I live in Portland, believe me, I see victim hood like I wouldn’t believe, it’s a social club here) it’s 100% about attention! It’s usually people who have zero social skills or love for them selfs and playing victim is the only way we know how to garner attention and feel superior in some fucked up freudian way. Like ,” I’m so weak and damaged how dare people EVER look at me funny”. Or how dare you not give me the rite of way on the side walk!!! Or silly little things like that. There’s posters on every lamp pole talking about how marginalized us ‘ Middle class white folks’ are and how we don’t have an answer to fix things but let’s tear it all down and it will fix it’s self. This is young angst unchecked. This is what happens when you pick sobriety and u have to deal with your changing perspective of the world. I just chose booze and pills for my 20’s and never worried about a thing! What is wrong with people today!!! The shit I hear and see every day is just worrying
@@SouthernOregonOrgani The psychology behind it is really interesting to me. I wonder how many people weren’t able to recover from that mentality and where it lead them
Wow. This man has more discipline and perseverance in his little finger than I have in my whole body.
"We were training bigger stronger faster quitters." - WOW! That statement was heavy. Made so much sense.
Hell yeah.. Roger that!

This guy would make an amazing dad. His mind is powerful and teaching a kid to have that mindset but be a better version of himself, that would be awesome
I salute everyone who has been through in a life changing situation. I spent 3 yrs in a homeless shelter. I don't drink, drug and do not suffer from mental illness just the average mental illness we go through in everyday life... I never judge the next man, always help others, be kind and love one another, most of all keep your spirituality no matter what it is just as long as it is positive. Stay away from toxic people and stop the toxic thinking. Peace love and always love to all!
Awesome! Let's stay hard. Peace out

@@krees895 It is, I now work out everyday and wake up at 7am n take cold showers, I've quit smoking, drugs, drinking, got a job and passed my driving test this morning. Been busy 😉😄
21:24 “Instead of choosing the path of least resistance I started choosing the path of the most resistance...” As the Stoics, and Ryan Holiday has stated repeatedly in his book, The Obstacle Is the Way. David is The Living Example of that very Philosophy. He lives his truth which is why his words are so empowering. Instead of saying what he thinks people want to hear he says what he knows needs to be said. This is why I love this guy.
All killer no filler!
The conversation part with God was deep...God pointing out what you could have been but was too afraid to go for. That's the realest shit ever

God bless and never give up nor stop goodworks.
the path of enlightenment is not all about flowers, fairies and lofty concepts. it's about facing Your demons, facing every possible fear you have, look them straight in the eyes and know that you have to deal with them, accept them, know them and dissolve them with faith and wisdom. accept your mistakes and embrace them, they will be some of your greatest teachers. this man David Goggins seems to have went to some dark hell, just to come back shining bright with his spirit, visible through his words. thank you for sharing your story. thank you Lewis Howes for hosting this man and your great work.
David Goggins is an example of the value of a strong mindset with resilience and determination. Thanks for sharing your amazing life story. This interview should be part of a high school curriculum. The interview was exceptional.
Thank you!
My Pain is My Strength.
I'm 59 years old and just picked up a life time of knowledge. Thank you David and Lewis.
Robert Greene then David Goggins!! WOW!! You are bringing the thunder.

Agreed
I could listen to this guy talk all day.
I was hooked as soon as you said “I can take the beatings all day, it’s the physiological warfare that beaks your confidence” this is so true

Couldn't agree more
"Fear is my ultimate guide". What a man.
27:40 growth mindset is so powerful. As a teacher for many years, I have seen students with a growth mindset rise to the top and accomplish amazing achievements.
Sounds unbelievable...I go to a top 19 university in the UK...but every I see are sheep...and if they aren't they are weak
What made me realized that I need to change my life was when he said “My mother never picked me up when I was down” Because I now know that my mother did the same but I never learned from it. He opened my eyes to what living in this world is. He is truly inspirational.
Goggins is a major gift to humanity. I loved his reminder that we all also have the potential to be a gift to others and help millions of lives. Going to have revisit this one a few times. Thanks Lewis for asking good questions and setting the space for this side of David to come through.
30:40 I knew he was gonna say he had no insecurities and it makes perfect sense cause he is at place where he gives zero F&cks! When you dont care about flaws why would you be insecure of anything. Can’t wait to get to that spot 🎯🙌
He did and it was a good point he afraid to die knowing that heaven was really on earth hell was a place to go when u die
I truly didnt find myself till the last day of this august and I'm 36. Once you see that change you will not be able to understand why you ever hated yourself for so many years. I hit rock bottom.........in order to start building my foundation!!!!!
I still haven’t found myself and I’m 39 🤦♀️
❤️❤️❤️
I’m 35 hang in there neither did i
@Liquid Gold yes please I wanne read your story too
This David conquered all the Goliaths in his life and now he’s helping others conquer theirs, beautiful!
dear goggins....as a child who witnessed abuse in my family, a subsequent non-reader and now as a retired teacher and tutor, your message resonates with me and my God breathed inner voice of "OH YES YOU CAN" that saw me go head long into the "NO WAY IN HELL YOU WILL NEVER GET THERE" times ...presently, I have a student who needs your message...12 years old, but so tall he looks like he's in his teens. Suffering from the "easy way out" sickness many of our youth are facing. I know that this interview is old...and here we are in 2021, caught battling a covid state of mind. Not even sure you will see this, but, by the grace of God I send this to you, in hopes you can give this young man, who has suffered much, a bit of hope to know that the battle is worth the fight and IS TRULY HIS. Much gratitude for your heart for others...indeed, stay hard, don't die
No matter how often I hear hin talk, David Goggins keeps inspiring me. If he could become the extraordinary man that he jas become with everything he's been through, then anything is possible. Respect G✊🏼
I showed my cat this video, it became a lion
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao! Now that’s wisdom!!!!
I love that.
Genius 😆😆
They need to make a movie out of his life.. Everyone can learn from him.. God bless him!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
That would be uncomfortably awesome. 👍🏼
Truly inspiring idea, however I do not know exactly why and I don't need to, but I think that story is reference to something much more than musing.
To real for t.v
Nah only ppl like 69 or cardi deserve this
I say will smith plays him
"The one-piece I was missing, was me having the courage to face myself." If anyone wants the truth in one sentence, this is the one! And I know it from personal experience!

David Goggins is intense and real. I love his story. Great interview Lewis!
Just removed myself from Instagram and left FB quite some time ago. It's time to study and keep getting better.
u rock
Where are you at now
@@ryanthepianoman27 I want to know too
Up to now, I've been having "trip days" almost everyday, being comfortable on the uncomfortable... Always keeping it low, not defying odds nor chances, just staying, not being noisy enough not to be comfortable ot to not unsettle others... But how unsettliing is to realize that I've almost forgot my dreams and aspirations by hiding myself over excuses and fear to everything. I'm 39 already and the outside world is cruel and deceptive. But I still have the time to stop minding the outside world and start minding my own, I can become my own hero. I am chosing so. I am so blessed that I got to know Goggings experience. God bless him for being so brave to share his wisdom and to be truly unstoppable. I'm speechless still. But willing to do better.
A strong disciplined person from the school of life.
1:25:15 "I judge NO ONE. Because I know where it comes from. I know you, I was once you." I'm gonna buy this dude's book and meet him at some point.
If you read the book, you will have met him. (hopefully somebody on here will understand what I mean)
I love David Goggins. I hear David Goggins. I understand David Goggins. I appreciate David Goggins.
Now go run a 100k marathon!
@@CJ0101 l am on it.
Ditto for me 💯
He is on my frequency. He is in my tribe.
Great interview here from David Goggins. How he responds to Howes, tells the story of his youth, his home, the dominating emotion, significance of his mother, brings great clarity to the characteristics of abusers. Like he said, when he saw that telling his story was helping people, he became prepared to talk about it. His mastery, the fact that he rose above his circumstances despite the awesome difficulty of doing so, makes him 'definitively' a guiding light. Howes does seem to inspire a good conversation.
So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you for watching.
This man is telling the story of my life. With dyslexia, I had to rewrite so many things over and over to learn it for memory. It was hard and he is right, it takes being in a quiet place all the time.
😭
"We are all teachers." Much Love to all of you.
David and his amazing mindset helped me overcome lifelong depression. And I’m back to making art again. This guy is the real deal and puts mere mortals to shame. Self help “gurus” are a joke compared to this guy.
This man quite literally "Runs his Talk"!!
Well done! I too overcame depression, weaned myself off all meds, started taking care of myself, lost all the weight, finished my degree, turned around all negativity.... And this was all 20 years ago.... I'm still getting up at 4 a.m. and running at 6 a.m. in all weathers..... went totally clean. I'm working on a big dream, and it's starting to manifest, too. David Goggins is definitely one of my teachers. Blessings on you.....
@Sherry Mac Thank you Sherry Mac! May you be mightily blessed today 🌸 🙏 🔥
BEST QUOTES FROM THE VIDEO: first quote: 1:28:47 second quote: 1:30:24 third quote: 1:30:54
Be your own hero. Do not take the easy way, always work hard. Keep getting better to not get worse.
He's so inspiring. I'm going to go finish my class. I got so behind. No excuses.
Get after it, bucko.
You can do it Honey!!!! I'm rooting for you.
"Its not the one second, it's the 12 years." Wow. That stopped me in my tracks. Understanding that will change your life completely, since as long as you are pushing yourself, you will ALWAYS win even if you "lose".
It's official Im a pussy
Yes it’s ok just to be ourselves even with all of our perfect imperfections! Being honest, authentic and real is the best most genuine thing we can do!
@@mariannegirouard8746 Yes, but genuinely & authentically bad OR genuinely & authentically good?
I am not going to say too much, but this David have so much that there’s not enough books to write about him , I am 62 years old and he reminds me what I should be doing for the rest of my life. Thank you for sharing!
David Goggins inspires me everyday to have a painful rough day for my vision and I idolize him so much
Boy’s got a strong neck
“In Portuguese !?” Had me laughing 😆
Conquering your insecurities and attacking your comfort zone helps build confidence. Building that confidence gives you the freedom to be authentic and responsibly vulnerable.
That’s interesting. Being responsibly vulnerable. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks
@@easyeastallstar awesome. Thanks for the feedback
He is such an inspiration! My gosh. I am blown away by his humbleness. 🙌
I'm a huge David Goggins fan. I saw this video 2 years ago. Now I watch, School Of Greatness, every day. Thank you Lewis for all that you do.
🧡
It's great that he doesn't smile at people so that they will like them, but some of us do it out of kindness, to put other people at ease.
Yes & David said he WANTED to make people around him feel uncomfortable.
@@francisgallant1479 that's actually NOT what he said, so watch it again (from 25:00-26.20) and you'll understand. He said he doesn't smile at people because he doesn't care what they think of him. That makes him a bigger person than the person who smiles because they want the approval of others, but it also makes him smaller than the person who is so sure of themselves that they can step outside of themselves and show kindness to others. There's lots to be admired about David's character, but in this situation, his approach is self-centred. The bigger person focuses on others, because they can, because know they're all good and it's the right thing to do. It's psych 101.
He said it very clearly.
I didn't had the time to answer you correctly this morning He said later on that he wanted to make people around him feel discomfort because he values it so much. He offers the world his deepest gift with what he is doing & he opens up deeply talking about all the abuse he received. A smile is really cheap against what he offers in kindness & confidence. & btw I am not suggesting that smiling is good or bad.
@@francisgallant1479 specifically where in the interview does he say that? In the exerpt I pointed out, he says nothing about kindness - the only point he makes is that he doesn't smile at people because he doesn't feel the need to please them. He's not talking about kindness, he's talking about his own confidence. Sure, he's serving people by sharing his story, but I bet most random people he encounters day to day won't ever know who he is, because he won't ever interact with them except to offer them a scowl instead of a smile. They won't realise he's David, the inspiring Navy Seal, they'll just know him as a mean-looking stranger who scowled at them when what they really needed that day was a smile.
1. You are your own master. 2. Never choose the easy road. 3. Never think that you have arrived.
Great _summarization,_ or should I say _synopsis._ Either way, this makes it easy for one to understand. 👌🏽
Why do I have to choose the hard road I mean all the time I don’t want to always choose that road
I hear you @@misslady2433 but the easy road leads to _gluttony_ and _contentment,_ both things that can _kill_ you _quick._ The "hard" road was made for those willing to *fight* for life. #StayStrong 👊🏽
@@jnocapmac4783 ok
@@jnocapmac4783 I love your comment. Its motivated me to keep doing what I'm doing regardless of how hard I think it is.
Praying for his mother. What a strong women🙏❤️
When Goggins speaks he combines his insight, experience, and reflection in a way that would motivate anyone.
I never comment on KZhead videos (or extremely rare), but seeing someone truly let themselves go from their limitations like David has is incredible. Thanks for the video Mr. Howes!

My favorite episode. I keep coming back to listen to Goggins such a pure strong soul, this interview is everything🔥🔥🤎🙏🏼
Wow, this made me so happy to see! Thanks for listening. 🙏
OMG...what a story. Would love to talk to this guy about how I over came an abusive childhood and how I conquered extreme backward shyness and forced myself to speak in front of people. Memorize things... and now I sing on stage in front of people. Something no one ever thought I could do, even me. What an amazing human being this man is.
2:39 reminds me of the Rumi quote.. "This place where you are right now God circled on a map for you."
WAUW! - David Goggins awakens the hero within all of us! He shows through training for life´s pain our human potential by suffocating all the BS we believe to be true for ourselves!! - Deep respect!
David Goggins for President, 2024!
long time ago, i have realize by the grace of God that we were too pampered of what we have now. What he is doin is what the normal people were doin in the ancient times which is the way it should be. People walk country to country that time but don't complain as much as we complain now for not having wifi. we have leveled down, people before are far more superior.
LOVE THIS! I went through 13 yrs of feeling like I was slowly being burned alive due to neurological conditions (diagnosed with MS and chronic shingles). I studied and researched and pressed in until I found something that got the chronic shingles under control. The rest I treat with neuroplasticity. I wrote two books with my children (for my children because I wasn't sure at several points if I would live). I now am back in college and have five awesome kids. I would not give up and look back at our struggles as blessings because they have shaped us in ways that nothing else could. I will forever be a life long learner/researcher. I just pray that my insights would be able to help someone else and push to never give in...never give up! You are harder, stronger and more capable than you know when you commit to overcoming...
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
Man I miss this podcast. Thanks for being consistent all these years Lewis. I'm diving back in.
Im hooked on this mans mindset.
Mad respect David Goggins! It is so true..."When the student is ready the teacher appears." I so needed to hear this. Kudos Lewis for another #kickass interview.
GOGGINS! Damn, he is so amazing. He makes me keep pushing myself. What an AMAZING interview. This man is on a whole other level. "My father taught me what NOT to be". DAMN.
The way he praises his mother is inspiring. I too would like a son with his gratitude.
