Once you put away your phones and your computers and all that we have nowadays, that's great. We're up to date. But your brain is the only thing you have when you're going through depression when you're going through hard times you're going through death real life

you can't google that man you're alone you're alone you may have a shrink you're going to you may have a best friend you're going to but there's 24 hours in the day where you're alone in this brain and your brain is talking to you in all kind of ways and it wants to control you and pull you in these different pockets if you can't control your own brain and your brain controls you you're you got to tell your brain where you want to go and how you want to go and how you want to get there you got to control it if If not, it's over. What existed for me was, okay, man, how am I going to make this work? And all I knew back then was hard work.

The only way anything gets accomplished, that's all I heard back in those days. You've got to work hard. You've got to work hard. I'm not getting how to, I can't get this paragraph. I can't remember what the in this paragraph to pass this test to get in the military. Read it again. Still not getting it. Read it again. But if you're not getting it, write it out. And that's how I started learning. Okay. Well, I can't, I got to write out everything I do and then write it out again and write it out again and guess what happened I got it I got it I can't swim I'm negative buoyant go back again I can't swim go back again go back again

go back again I got it I realize if I keep going back and going back and going back until this just becomes your mind was safe okay we're gonna figure it out because he is not going to stop it's not I'm gonna try one more time no I'm gonna it's just like alarm clock goes off boop we're going back I can't read right we're going. I gave myself no way out. And my mind realized that. They said, okay, we're going to adapt and overcome now. This episode is sponsored by Impression Dharma.

Like a lot of people say, try it hard. They, your mind knows, man. It knows this guy's bull. I mean, man, this guy's lying. There's no truth behind it. When I was in Navy, still training people, how are you there for 18 months? The program was only six months long. You were in three hell weeks in one year no one's ever done that how did you do that i talk about the new norm when i lived in a seven dollar a month place when i was growing up for a short period of time i loved it i didn't know i didn't know any different that was my norm once we moved out of that place we moved to a 236 dollar a. I was like, I never want to go back to that little piece of shit. But if you go back to that $7 a month place and you realize this is where I live, this is all I got. Your mind says, Roger that.

This is home. So when I was going through Navy SEAL training for 18 months and going back through all the hard parts over and over again. I told myself after the first time, I knew it was going to be a long journey there. My body was breaking down. It was just how it was going on. I said, you know what? This is my new norm. So my mind said, it's like going to work. Like you go to work, you put your suit and tie on. I go into suffering every day. Every day, suffering, being broken, duct taping my feet up, stress fractures, shin splits, being broken. This is my new norm. And your mind says, if we're not broken, this ain't normal. We got to be broken.

So then your mind starts to get tougher and tougher and more callous. People go, how did you run on broken feet? Broken shins. My mind knew this is how we operate. We're in Navy SEAL training. This is what we are. I became hell. And that became my new norm. I gave myself no way out. There was nothing outside these walls of hell.

Nothing. I became, I love God, but for a short period of time, I became the devil. but for a short period of time I became the devil because that was hell I became I became the boss the owner the CEO of Navy SEAL training that was my mindset and that's how you get through things you put yourself you immerse yourself wherever it is you become that you become that and give yourself no way out. When I was 297 pounds and I was fat as hell trying to be a Navy SEAL,

the scariest thing in the world to me, even to this day, was that that could have been the rest of my life. I thought then I was trying hard. That's the scariest thing in the world. I thought then, 297 pounds pound working for Ecolab, spraying for cockroaches, making a thousand dollars a month. I thought that was me at my 100% potential. Come to find out a few years later, I wasn't even near that. 106 pounds less, graduate Navy SEAL training, went on to do all these other things. Looking back on that, that was me trying hard.

That's why people got to understand what is in us. We have no idea until we start trying hard. And I mean really trying hard where you're obsessed with, hey, this is my new norm. My new norm is that, that wow this isn't always fun it's not always meant to be fun and that's when you know you're trying hard people hear my story and think this guy is sadistic I realize how the how the brain works I figured out how the brain works I'm a scared kid and that's what gives me so much power. I had no foundation and I built this off of just researching the

mind. The feeling you get is basically invincibility. You realize that you can't do it all the time. When you need to do it, I know I can go to a place that I can live in. And when you know that you can run on broken legs and you can do certain things that a lot of people can do, but they're not willing to do, this power, this sympathetic nervous system of fight or flight and you're fighting. It gives you this charge of energy of when you're sitting there at 3.30, 4 o'clock in the morning and you're duct taping your feet up because they're broken.

And you're doing it by yourself and you're going through arguably one of the hardest training in the world. And these guys, most of them are healthy and you're going through arguably one of the hardest training in the world. And these guys, most of them are healthy. And you're going through it broken. And you're already at a disadvantage, but you're still there. You can feed into that and tap into that for a lot of power. But if you look at it, well, I'm broken, man. I'm not going to make it. But if you look at it as, man man I'm broken and I'm still here

and I'm fighting and I'm gonna find a way to get through this because I have no other place to go it gives you a lot of power when things start to suck really really bad my brain and a lot of people's brain don't they don't go to your dad beating you up. Your brain says, we got to get out of here. This is miserable. So anger goes away a lot of times when you're suffering. Because your brain just says, we got to run. We got to go.

So that anger is not popping up saying, oh, I want to show them. I want to show those people. No. There has to be a much deeper. If I. No, there has to be a much deeper. If I say deeper, it has to be down to mineral, mineral soil. It has to be down to that nice mineral soil where nothing can burn. You can't burn dirt. So it has to be down that low that literally is something in you that's at the core of your soul and but you

but you don't find it unless you spend a lot of time with what you want to be in life you i i can't give that to you right you can't give it to somebody when when you find your true passion in life and my passion for me when like i want to be now I can give my navy seals army I don't give a I want to serve my country I cared about I want to be someone that I'm proud of I want to look at myself in the mirror because I was so disappointed that accountability mirror I talk about I was so disappointed in what I saw every day. I wanted everybody to love David Goggins. And a lot of people did. I didn't love myself. But I knew a lot of us want to find peace first.

Some people say, man, you always talk about this suffering and pain. I'm at peace right now because I went through that. You don't find peace first. If you do, Merry Christmas. More power to you, more power to you. I found peace on the opposite end of finding myself and no one really finds themselves without going through trials, tribulations, suffering, accountability. And accountability is suffering. Being accountable every day for doing right, for yourself, for the people next to you, it's miserable.

It's hard. So, you know, even the smallest details. Thanks for listening. Kindly support the movement of this podcast by supporting us or subscribing to our premium content for more exclusive stuff. When you do so, you also get a shout out in our next episode. Thank you.
