I experienced this recently in one of my workouts. I would destroy my legs week after week then head straight into jumping sprinter splits and my legs would buckle, I would fall, and I'd get back at it and keep trying. Recently I got to that point where I felt like my legs were going to give out and I don't know what happened, but it's like my body broke through a screen and suddenly I was going harder than when I started. The pain just lifted and I was hitting a pace I thought would take me many more months to reach. It was incredible, it felt like I broke some sort of limiter on my body by attacking it and trying to go further week after week. Goggins searches for that feeling and now I get why. It's actually incredible how much your body holds out on you, and it works with your mind to try and hold you back.
@@alexrosario423 That sounds awfully lot like an endorphin high, aka “runner’s high”. It’s called Runner’s high but it’s not exclusive to running, and yes, it IS the best feeling you will ever have, it feels primal, like a deep instinct just rushed out to life and you’re a whole different beast, everything becomes effortless, pushing more feels good instead of hard, you feel your whole body, every tiny movement and pounding on the ground is felt but it strangely feels good, it’s a whole experience, I could go on and on, and so could anyone that has every gotten it hahaha Congrats
@@ateyaba7253 my dad used to be able to run literally for hours. He told me he used to get runners high all the time and once you hit it you can just keep going until you get bored.
Thank you, Brother, you are truly inspiring. I just played this to lift my spirits today to overcome a problem. I have. God Bless you. John A. Lombardi
I've always been an introvert throughout my life. I've always had problems talking to people being shy when the real problem was that I was always afraid of rejection. So I went out and became more social by talking to more and more strangers making myself as uncomfortable as possible. Now I feel like I can take on the world because I'm no longer afraid. I still get uncomfortable, but I know it doesn't matter anymore if I get rejected by someone in a social situation because in reality it cannot hurt me! Thanks for the inspiration David Goggins!
@@atlantaogatlantaoh3546 The greatest tip I can give to anyone struggling with a fear that holds them back, is to simply face those fears head on. Sometimes it might feel like every fiber of your being is telling you to hold back and hide behind the shadows, but the reality is that you'll never know greatness and the satisfaction of achievement if you don't try. So simply put.... Just TRY! Over and over again until you get what you want out of life.
For the first time in my life, I ran 6.5 miles without stopping. I honestly wanted to stop after 2 miles but something weird happened. I just sorta accepted the pain and the fact that this was gonna suck. I also accepted the fact that I wasn’t stopping until I managed to hit 6.5 miles. I know that’s not a lot compared to what many can easily do but it taught me something. Learn to accept the pain and keep going until you either reach your goal or your body fails you.
That’s awesome. 6.5 miles is also just a great distance to run daily on average if your goal is to stay fit and even decently competitive for mid distance races like 5k and 8k. It doesn’t take too much out of your day since once you are in shape it is less than an hour of running. So it’s more feasible for someone with a job.
Mark: One evening (I was active duty Army) I was working out in my room and a guy a couple doors down stopped in and asked if I wanted to work out with him. Before joining, he was a kicker for a major university and very well built. So he does 500 sit-ups, and with no one holding his feet down. I was flabbergasted. He told me it was all in the mind, that if I could do 50 sit-ups (the max for the Army PFT) I could do 500. I did not believe him. First he taught me how to do a sit-up without anyone holding down my feet using pure will-power. My feet kept coming up, so we started with one sit-up, and he held my feet with a finder on each foot, and finally I could do it. Then I did 10, and so on. Why 50 sit-ups first? Because he said you don't want to strain an ab muscle so you need a base, and I could already do 50. We were in an elite unit so were expected to do the max on our physical fitness tests. Every other day he would have me add 10 sit-ups. It was hard, but once I reached 100, I could do 200. It was all about closing my mind to everything but the count. I would count the sit-ups in my mind, and blank everything else out. I am now 68 and do 1000 sit-ups every other day. He also taught me the same with push-ups, but they were harder as my friend made me use perfect technique. But I did it too. So much about being fit is in the mind.
Yup. Because this guy Goggins doesn't even listen to music in his workouts. Doesn't believe in motivational music, "because what are you gonna do when you don't have that music for motivation?"
I think many people (including myself) tend to always associate Goggin's lesson about pushing yourself into uncomfortable situations to grow, exclusively with physical activities. But its just as important to get outside your comfort zone in other aspects of your life as well, taking on new challenges for personal growth, for example, going back to school, accepting a new position at work, learning a new skill, etc. The beauty of what Goggins is teaching us is that its really applicable to any and all aspects of your life!
This man has made me run everyday. And to understand the mind will give up way before the body will. Our bodies can undergo so much it’s scary! Life changing !
I went through basic training with Mr. Goggins and let me tell you, he is every bit as real as he seems. He did sit-ups in the common room during the night when we would all be asleep ... until his tail bone bled ... He was inspiring then and he is inspiring now. Awesome to see.
THIS is what the internet should bring to Schools ! Positive reinforcement ! This Man’s Journey through the mind needs to be a mandatory video seen in High Schools . It could produce waves of greatness
"Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an action and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny". (Ralph Waldon Emerson)
His book ‘Can’t Hurt Me’ has changed my life. The audiobook version is unbelievable. I don’t listen to anything else. I don’t listen to music anymore while I workout... I listen to his audiobook and motivation videos. He’s the 🐐
Are you still at it? If not, that's okay. Nobody who ever achieved anything didn't have setbacks. Even Goggins. But if you keep getting back up, soon the word "quit" is replaced by "try again."
Emerson said, “Di the thing u fear and u will conquer it” it is absolutely true. U can’t run or hide from it, it will not go away! Face it and u will win the day and your future will change.
This is one of my favorite Big Think videos yet. Discipline keeps the demons of the mind at bay. I learned this through martial arts. If my weakness is working from the bottom in Jiu Jitsu, then that's where my coach would start my rolls (BJJ version of sparring). If my triangle choke was lacking, my coach would make me drill it for hours. You become stronger only when you tackle your weaknesses head on. There are no shortcuts in life....
He shed a tear at the very end of the video talking about how he went through so much in his life. I'm reading his book "Can't Hurt Me" and this dude had a fucked up childhood. Mad respect for this attitude in life.
What an amazing story! After going through something like that, you would know that anything was possible. It’s like he reached Nirvana. He unlocked himself in a way very few people ever have.
I've actually watched or listened to (if I'm busy) several of this guy's interviews. I'm a 43 year young white woman who's youngest child is graduating tomorrow. I havn't worked out in a mighty long time and I've been eating terribly for the last couple of years. All of the good stuff in my life has been complete grace, or so I thought until I discovered "Goggins." It was then realized that I've really worked my ass off to be a good mother, sister,wife etc, and I'm so very Thankful for what I have....but I know it's only "40%" of what I can do to love my beautiful family even more and to improve my health and financial well being etc. Time....to...Rock!!!!!
I’ve wanted to be a SEAL since I was about 7, maybe less. I always listen to these speeches from former SEALs while I workout and it has helped me in my daily life.

I have 2 chapters left! So that was 9 months ago you finished it...has it changed your life since? Anything you've applied or was it just an inspirations read at the time?
Thank you Goggins, you helped changed my life, Im seeking discomfort every day since reading your book, ive not mastered it yet but im pushing, pushing, pushing!
I remember reading David's book and crying initially but also extremely inspired. He is 100% the reason I was able to achieve some of the best feats in my life like running over 100km in a week without realizing (still have the blog post up and on my portfolio) cause he was just that much more convincing and every time I felt like quitting I would just be like "What would Goggins do/You are a little b*** in David's voice etc.) and I achieve that much more. I also got into reading a lot more books and till now I read more in those weeks after his books than I did the entire past 7 months since moving so damn this has reminded me of some major stuff
I look up to David since the first day I accidentally came across his videos and I always train with the 40% rule in my mind. Such an inspiration, thank you for the video!
I appreciate the fact that Mr. Goggins admits that there are, or were, things in his life that he didn't want to face. That tells me that I am not weak for wanting to quit; weakness is the act quitting, itself.
The sensation you receive after running is unexplainable. It hits me hard every time. Especially if you have a mirror right in front of you after the long training session, Its enlightening
Yesterday was not easy either. Sing through it You got this is a real thing ! You will beat odds like a boss... Once you convince yourself " YOU" CAN!👊
Omg you are absolutely the most insperational person ive ever listened to ever.... and have given me so many more morals and much more insperation to feed from!!! Thank you so much goggins!!
"Once your mind realizes that you’re not gonna quit, that you’re not gonna take the path of least resistence, that you’re gonna stay here until it’s done, my mind my body and my spirit became one for the first time ever." D. Goggins
truth. i too learned a lot about not giving up and enduring the pain when i started running. i think everyone could learn a lot about themselves through the pain of running distances.
He encouraged me to go for at least a mile every day after.work no matter what rain or shine. Yest morn it was 30 out and I wanted to go inside where it's warm. I put him on and did it anyways and ended up going an extra half mile.
“Its like when you need to take a shit and you’re far from home, no matter how far away you are, some how you deal with it. But when the moment finally comes and you’re feet away from a suitable toilet, you nearly shit your self?”.......Know you can do it! Mr. Googins, you’re a badass and an inspiration. I know how hard training is and for me to see you accomplish what you have done is an amazing thing to see in my life time.
So good! Our daily habits and mindsets determine our destiny. Growth is a PROCESS. Most people give up way to quickly. Too many people think life is a 100 yard dash. But it’s actually a marathon!
Once your mind knows you're not gonna take the path of least resistance it works with you instead of against you. That's powerful right there, something we've all experienced at some point in our lives.
ive never actually jogged with the intent of betterment, never ran out of passion, only to escape....my mind tells me i cant run 100 miles, then it starts thinking of ways that i can and i can feel it trying to convince itself that i cant or shouldnt. I want to. But i am weak.... im out of shape again...so im here trying to change my perspectives. Thank you for telling me things i need to hear.
ohh Gaggins men ! you're my inspiration brother! I listened to your book , most of your talk on talk shows. I used to be lazy and skinny but today I run, cardio, weight lift, read everyday. I think I'm leaving at best, I couldn't be happier and I think I owe you big time. Thank you Gaggin for being such Extraordinary and make us even Extraordinary.
I'm 50 yrs old and starting to get lazy and out of shape, David and many of these other special operators are AWESOME at motivation...because they do what they say every day and not only tell you but also show you thru their actions. If you listen to them they will get you motivated and off the couch. Thanks not only for your service and sacrifices for our country but everything you guys do on the outside as well.
Mitchuit it's amazing how people try to put you down. I just shared my experience with some humor and a person that don't even know me say a stupid thing like that. I ran 2 135 mile races, one in Brazil that qualifies to Badwater and the Badwater itself. I'm also a Randonneur, I biked for 400 km in a row and now I'm a marathon swimmer and I didn't know how to swim 4 years ago. You can do it, anybody can. Good luck.
Man I was watching this and suddenly I was looking into this mans eyes and it felt like he was talking directly to me, like he is really my personal coach, like it was just me and him and he is giving me this lesson that I must retain and live up to in my life as a requisite for my future growth. Not just another youtube video but a real piece of fundamental life knowledge. Truly powerful, and valuable.
Sorry but it bugs the crap out of me that the video suggestions at the end of the video cover up peoples faces while they are still talking. It really spoils the good talks for me. Can you do anything about it?
Byte Aesx I am making my 3rd 100 mile race finish attempt march 2019. Completed 2 50 milers and a 100k and made it 67 miles on my 100 mile attempt. Next year is the year I get the buckle
The calming of the mind is probably one of the best tips out there. If you learn how to stay calm when working out, then you'll realize that you can do more than you previously thought.
I also never ran but decided to start. I planned to run 10km, no matter what. After 2km or so my knees started to hurt. I kept going. One week later I still had pain in the knees, went to a physician and learned that I injured my knees and today I still feel the pain every time I walk. So, pushing to your limits is good, but never over them!
Uncomfortable, everyday for the rest of my life. This is what I've learnt from this man, I can't thank him enough especially since I didn't have a father figure growing up.
The brain always quits before the body does. That's why the brain is more important (to master it), that's why he doesn't mind destroying his body to obtain mental toughness. And that's why I am doing the same. This man is a living and breathing inspiration, legend. Saved many of us from the dark pits of hell.
At my age I've been uncomfortable enough . Farming, factories, 6 yrs military, 10 yrs self employed. So I'll set here comfortable while you're being uncomfortable lmbo. But the difference is Mr.Goggins, I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY!!!!
Time flies fast. I'm in my 30's and it seems I don't have enough of it. Don't think endgame, think each step, and you will get where you need to go. One more step, one more rep, one more test, one more book to read, one more journal entry to write, one more person to thank, one more round for the boys. Keep on Keep'n on. -James Walper Libertarian Party of Canada.
He has sociopaths tendencies. Just not all of them. This dude cares for sure. He just doesn't care about the shit that really doesn't matter. I think that's how people mistake him for psychopath anyway. And Michael Babcock may have been using the word as a compliment.
Michael Babcock it’s ones perspective that see’s him as a sociopath or a mentor. Medical description can be stigmatizing but that stigma will spoil the chance to learn something new.
I've also learned Dave that if we can teach ourselves to not mind nor count the time spent in suffering, it makes it easier to stay in moment's of suffering by not counting the clock and just not ask when it's over. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. I totally get you man
I agree with this 100%. This is the way I need to frame my mind to grow and challenge myself as well. However, I've found over the years that not everybody grows the same way. Some people do need a more comfortable, gentle approach - otherwise they will shut down. When I was younger, I used to tell those people they were mentally weak and needed to fortify their mind, but I realized much later that even that statement discouraged them and shut them down. Everyone has their own optimum way of growing - this is not a one size fits all solution.

Lamashtu You serious?
Lamashtu says keyboard warrior
Dale likes Navy men.
I eat SEALS for breakfast.
This guy was one of my inspirations to run a marathon.
Thank you Goggins, you helped changed my life, Im seeking discomfort every day since reading your book, ive not mastered it yet but im pushing, pushing, pushing!
I remember reading David's book and crying initially but also extremely inspired. He is 100% the reason I was able to achieve some of the best feats in my life like running over 100km in a week without realizing (still have the blog post up and on my portfolio) cause he was just that much more convincing and every time I felt like quitting I would just be like "What would Goggins do/You are a little b*** in David's voice etc.) and I achieve that much more. I also got into reading a lot more books and till now I read more in those weeks after his books than I did the entire past 7 months since moving so damn this has reminded me of some major stuff
I look up to David since the first day I accidentally came across his videos and I always train with the 40% rule in my mind. Such an inspiration, thank you for the video!

You bad girl
This was just the kick in the "derrière" that I needed! The battle of the mind is omnipresent! Thanks for posting this!
I appreciate the fact that Mr. Goggins admits that there are, or were, things in his life that he didn't want to face. That tells me that I am not weak for wanting to quit; weakness is the act quitting, itself.
Watching this the day before I attempt to run a 17 minutes three mile. Thank u man I’m hella motivated 🙌🏽
The sensation you receive after running is unexplainable. It hits me hard every time. Especially if you have a mirror right in front of you after the long training session,
Its enlightening
Yesterday was not easy either.
Sing through it
You got this is a real thing !
You will beat odds like a boss...
Once you convince yourself
" YOU" CAN!👊
Omg you are absolutely the most insperational person ive ever listened to ever.... and have given me so many more morals and much more insperation to feed from!!! Thank you so much goggins!!
This guy really reached Super Saiyan level..wow
I love you, Goggins. Thank you for helping me get my life back.
"Once your mind realizes that you’re not gonna quit, that you’re not gonna take the path of least resistence, that you’re gonna stay here until it’s done, my mind my body and my spirit became one for the first time ever." D. Goggins
truth. i too learned a lot about not giving up and enduring the pain when i started running. i think everyone could learn a lot about themselves through the pain of running distances.
He encouraged me to go for at least a mile every day after.work no matter what rain or shine. Yest morn it was 30 out and I wanted to go inside where it's warm. I put him on and did it anyways and ended up going an extra half mile.
Gantz:0 great job
He's motivating me to go for a 140km walk over 5 days!!!! Love his videos!!
“Its like when you need to take a shit and you’re far from home, no matter how far away you are, some how you deal with it. But when the moment finally comes and you’re feet away from a suitable toilet, you nearly shit your self?”.......Know you can do it!
Mr. Googins, you’re a badass and an inspiration. I know how hard training is and for me to see you accomplish what you have done is an amazing thing to see in my life time.
Western civilization as a whole needs more men like David Goggins.
So good! Our daily habits and mindsets determine our destiny. Growth is a PROCESS. Most people give up way to quickly.
Too many people think life is a 100 yard dash. But it’s actually a marathon!
This made my day.
Once your mind knows you're not gonna take the path of least resistance it works with you instead of against you. That's powerful right there, something we've all experienced at some point in our lives.
That man has ran 200 miles without stopping that's incredible , glory to God 😇
ive never actually jogged with the intent of betterment, never ran out of passion, only to escape....my mind tells me i cant run 100 miles, then it starts thinking of ways that i can and i can feel it trying to convince itself that i cant or shouldnt. I want to. But i am weak.... im out of shape again...so im here trying to change my perspectives. Thank you for telling me things i need to hear.
ohh Gaggins men ! you're my inspiration brother! I listened to your book , most of your talk on talk shows. I used to be lazy and skinny but today I run, cardio, weight lift, read everyday. I think I'm leaving at best, I couldn't be happier and I think I owe you big time. Thank you Gaggin for being such Extraordinary and make us even Extraordinary.
I'm 50 yrs old and starting to get lazy and out of shape, David and many of these other special operators are AWESOME at motivation...because they do what they say every day and not only tell you but also show you thru their actions. If you listen to them they will get you motivated and off the couch. Thanks not only for your service and sacrifices for our country but everything you guys do on the outside as well.
Clarity.
That's insane. So much respect for David Goggins!
I ran Badwater 135, it's like being in hell, you try to breath and it's like the devil itself is blowing air in your lungs. 😂😂
Mitchuit it's amazing how people try to put you down. I just shared my experience with some humor and a person that don't even know me say a stupid thing like that. I ran 2 135 mile races, one in Brazil that qualifies to Badwater and the Badwater itself. I'm also a Randonneur, I biked for 400 km in a row and now I'm a marathon swimmer and I didn't know how to swim 4 years ago. You can do it, anybody can. Good luck.
Mitchuit you wish you could run 1/8th of a mile scrub
Rodrigo i respect u
rodrigo you re ONE BAMF
How the hell is that even possible? I mean congrats on completing it. How did you make it through?
Man I was watching this and suddenly I was looking into this mans eyes and it felt like he was talking directly to me, like he is really my personal coach, like it was just me and him and he is giving me this lesson that I must retain and live up to in my life as a requisite for my future growth. Not just another youtube video but a real piece of fundamental life knowledge. Truly powerful, and valuable.
I just discovered you Dave. You’re awesome. Thank you for providing your life experienced advise. Meditating on them.
What I love about this speech is that this man is sharing his vulnerability - and that's one of the hardest things a person can do.
Sorry but it bugs the crap out of me that the video suggestions at the end of the video cover up peoples faces while they are still talking. It really spoils the good talks for me. Can you do anything about it?
+1 If youre gonna popup videos please think about where they're being placed.
It’s one thing to read about his race in the book, but to hear it from Goggins directly is something else
Run 100 miles an THEN come here and press dislike if you want.
Byte Aesx I am making my 3rd 100 mile race finish attempt march 2019. Completed 2 50 milers and a 100k and made it 67 miles on my 100 mile attempt. Next year is the year I get the buckle
Well said bro.
Mike Funk It might be nothing for you, but it's what he wants to achieve so let him be man.
Mike Funk id like to see you run one mile
Mike Funk go read your first comment and then delete yourself from this thread
The calming of the mind is probably one of the best tips out there. If you learn how to stay calm when working out, then you'll realize that you can do more than you previously thought.
He's great, I want to look into having him come to my company as a speaker.
Super motivating. I have been trying to better myself for years. Baby steps. This man makes me want to take leaps.
I also never ran but decided to start. I planned to run 10km, no matter what. After 2km or so my knees started to hurt. I kept going. One week later I still had pain in the knees, went to a physician and learned that I injured my knees and today I still feel the pain every time I walk. So, pushing to your limits is good, but never over them!
Uncomfortable, everyday for the rest of my life. This is what I've learnt from this man, I can't thank him enough especially since I didn't have a father figure growing up.
The brain always quits before the body does. That's why the brain is more important (to master it), that's why he doesn't mind destroying his body to obtain mental toughness. And that's why I am doing the same. This man is a living and breathing inspiration, legend. Saved many of us from the dark pits of hell.
At my age I've been uncomfortable enough . Farming, factories, 6 yrs military, 10 yrs self employed. So I'll set here comfortable while you're being uncomfortable lmbo. But the difference is Mr.Goggins, I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY!!!!
6:05 I’m sorry for laughing 😂😂😂😂
Both his books change my life. Brilliant read. Recommend it to anyone and everyone looking to take their lives to the next level
I know this guy in many speeches, and I wonder how hard it was to have him never to curse in this video. It works, but man, I miss the cursing.
hahahaha same thoughts, lol
I’m curious, what is it about cursing that benefits a speech?
Lol :)
Drake Williams I think it's because people associate cussing with being more honest and speaking one's mind.
Drake Williams Emphasis
Trying to man up at 36. Even if I can walk for miles Daily,it will be a big achievement in the long run. This guy is what young men need as a mentor.

Great quote...😀
Time flies fast. I'm in my 30's and it seems I don't have enough of it. Don't think endgame, think each step, and you will get where you need to go. One more step, one more rep, one more test, one more book to read, one more journal entry to write, one more person to thank, one more round for the boys. Keep on Keep'n on. -James Walper Libertarian Party of Canada.
i have a tendency to take the path of most resistance
The message sent across by his eyes was stronger than his words.
I can not get Enough of his wisdom. Just the medicine (message) I need right now.
Shit, and here I am crying that I can't even do 10 miles.
HUGE JACKEDMAN
Don't bother counting miles, just take a day off; load some water/minerals into a backpack and go for a run.
HUGE JACKEDMAN
This guy is a sociopath
Michael Babcock please explain how
He has sociopaths tendencies. Just not all of them. This dude cares for sure. He just doesn't care about the shit that really doesn't matter. I think that's how people mistake him for psychopath anyway. And Michael Babcock may have been using the word as a compliment.
Michael Babcock it’s ones perspective that see’s him as a sociopath or a mentor. Medical description can be stigmatizing but that stigma will spoil the chance to learn something new.
Love coming back to this, Goggins is such a light 🙏🏼
I think i can get out of bed finish my office work now after a few more yt vids
I can’t stop listening to this guy....
I recently did a 10 mile run last week after watching this. It was hard as fuck but I did it.
Nice job man. Thanks for sharing about how this impacted you.
Good job!
I've also learned Dave that if we can teach ourselves to not mind nor count the time spent in suffering, it makes it easier to stay in moment's of suffering by not counting the clock and just not ask when it's over. I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say. I totally get you man
May God bless this awesome man and his family. I consider it a treasure to hear him inspire and motivate.😁
Stay Strong Stay Hard 💪🦾💪🦾
Excellent video.
I agree with this 100%. This is the way I need to frame my mind to grow and challenge myself as well. However, I've found over the years that not everybody grows the same way. Some people do need a more comfortable, gentle approach - otherwise they will shut down. When I was younger, I used to tell those people they were mentally weak and needed to fortify their mind, but I realized much later that even that statement discouraged them and shut them down. Everyone has their own optimum way of growing - this is not a one size fits all solution.
