Enjoy. No one can motivate me. I have a resume full of fucking motivation. That whenever I'm down, I'm like, oh, hang on, motherfucker. Oh, you know, you know the truth.

You know the truth. You know the darkness of the fucking dungeons and the fucking dean. is that flight. You know. And then from there, it's like, okay, you were there. You know this. There was no one there to pick up the rucksack, to pick up the boat, to pick up the log, to go in that.

It was you. It was you. There wasn't no pat on the fucking back at 300 at 275, at 250, at 220, at 220. No, that was you. So those things that come out of me, that extract from me in the darkness, people are looking for that pat on the back. Where is it? Oh, I don't need it.

Because what I've done is in the fucking unseen work, I've built Frankenstein. So whenever shit gets nasty, David Gagans goes, you had nobody anyway, motherfucker. So see how I'm talking to myself for now? That's me. That shit fires me to fuck up. That shit makes me fucking nuts. You had nobody anyway, motherfucker. Look around you.

There was no fucking team. It was you. There was no weight loss. program or mom and dad waking you up saying you can do it you can be better trying to build belief you built belief when you had nothing rock bottom you did that so as times get hard for me the truth comes out and my truth is powerful as fuck it's real it's tangible I feel it it comes out of my brain as I speak about it. I'm reliving every single dark moment of my life to be here. So that is what people don't get. That is what motivates David Goggins is the unseen work.

Everybody needs that pound the back. They need that training partner. They need that accountability coach. And neither do they. But it's what we've trained ourselves to believe that we need. And this is the thing that people don't get about David Gagons. I can't teach it in a one-minute video. We all have this ability to have our own medicine cabinet. But unless you go in there and put the medicine in there, it's always going to be fucking empty, man. You're always going to need the pre-workout.

You know, I don't drink coffee. I don't do none of that. I don't need to, I can run for 70 hours and I had before. no caffeine. I got all this wonderful shit that I overcame on my own by myself in the darkness. That man, when it's cold, I'm hot.

When it's hot, I can feed myself all the time. That's why when people say, man, why aren't you missing anything? I can't explain it to you, man. Can't explain it to you. You'll never understand. This is it. This is it.

The brain is the most powerful weapon in the world. And it's crazy how a kid that wasn't real smart, I was forced to go only internal. External had to go away. The external world had to go away. And living so deep inside myself, it was me in this brain in figuring out how this thing works.

And it's so many people are doing exactly that, the supplements, the this, to that. I agree, it helps. But once you figure out your, your brain, you become unstoppable to almost anything. Yeah, you can't beat death, you can't whatever, whatever. Your brain is amazing. Once you feed it the right conversation, the right mental nutrients, the right mental

supplements, the right internal dialogue at the right time, with the right hit, with the right proof of what you've done in the past. and you send it right to the right circuit, dude, you're a fucking beast. You just can't read about it. You can't sit back and be a theorist. You have to be a fucking practitioner. And in that practice is where that becomes proof positive.

What I'm saying is like, God, like David Goggins, he's blowing my mind. What is this? He's not crazy. And so many people have listened to me the right way, and they come back and they're like, I'm totally on board. It happened.

It happened. I'm like, it'll keep going, man, but keep doing it. But that is it, man. There's no sun. There's no glory. There's no carrot.

There's no victory. But there is all of it in one. I can't explain it real well to people, man. But what you get at the other end is something that you're not, you're always found. You're never lost anymore. doesn't mean the journey's easy it doesn't get any easier

but you always found so I know why you go on Instagram I know why you because you just have the time you have the time because you don't want to put that time into bettering

oneself so I know why I'm misunderstood I'm misunderstood by people who have plenty of time on their hands to misunderstand me because they are exactly where I once was, which is a low-life, lazy piece of shit. There's the harsh reality of people who troll you, who go after you, they have nothing better to do with your lives.

It's not some after-school special. It's the truth by once was that way. I know where it all comes from. That's why it's frustrating to me now, because I'm not so frustrated at the fact that I'm being trolled. I'm frustrated by the fact that you don't have the courage, the courage to try to be somebody better than which you're not. And that's the frustrating part.

Every day I walk this earth and I see average all over the fucking place. And they want to ask me, how did you do it? I can't tell you how because you're not going to fucking, you're not going to do it. You're not going to do it. You're going to continue being out because every day you wake up, like he says, like get the coffee, make the pancakes, kiss the girl, kiss the kids. you wake up right to work. Immediately your mind is in action.

No one must do that. No one. And I don't blame them. But don't be mad. When you're laying there in your fucking bed and you're in the fucking hospital and you're 70, 80, 90 years old and you're thinking,

man, I feel like I didn't fucking do something. Because you did. You didn't do it. You didn't do shit. You may live the great life, man, but you always get to feel empty inside. I don't feel empty. So call me what you want.

There's not one empty bone in my fucking body because I have figured out that really the magic potion, at least to my life, and it's very rewarding. Do you know many times I haven't been able to run? Two heart surgeries, multiple knee surgeries, and after every knee surgery,

they say, you're not going to run again. And I'm fine with that. There's no running up here, bro. None. This was what it was all about. That's what they lost. If you can't run. Give a fuck.

It was never about running. Why do you think I run? It's the worst thing I hate doing it more than anything. Hence the willpower. Think about it. Every day I wake up, I don't just run a mile, two miles. It's the one thing I hate the most to do and I do it like I love it. 250, 60, 7, 300 mile runs at one time.

No sleep. In every step, when I get to the, think about this, I get to the fucking start line, cussing at Jennifer. Why the fuck am I here? I hate this shit. After 70-some hours of running, every fucking question I ever had is answered. Who I am and who I say I am, I am. No more lies. No more skirt in the truth.

No more bullshit. and that is worth every dime ever made in my life. Why am I so unique? I'm being exactly what the fuck I was supposed to be. I ain't follow shit. And when I did follow shit, I was like everybody else. The second I said, okay, man, hang on, dude, you don't like this, you don't like this, you don't like this,

who are you, David Goggins? Who are you supposed to be? miraculously, all these things just, I couldn't even the list of shit I had to do just, wham! It's like, fuck, okay. Wow, once you sit down with yourself and say, okay, I don't want to be like

Michael Jordan or Jim Brown that both were on my birthday, so I looked at their birthday and said, oh, maybe it can be one of these, I can't. I'm going to be David fucking Goggins. And that looks like this. It just came, everything flooded. So every single day of my life, there's a different thing that comes up that I have to do. But no one knows what to do because everybody else is following steps. If you look at what I've done

in 49 years, it's more than most people ever do in their life because they were a race car and that's what they did. They drove a fucking car. It's great. I was all kind of shit because that's exactly what the painting was saying to do what the mind was saying to do when it's saying this driver car, so then that race car driver I don't know what the fuck to do. He retires from being a race car driver and they're lost. How are you

still? I don't get it. Dude, you're never going to fill your list, but you never found your list because it never was presented in front of you because your head was cluttered with shit. Because you never just stopped for

lots of minutes. lots of years and just said, all right, it's me and you. Let it go. And it just, bam, it's right there. It's right there.

When I was 300 pounds, we think that conversation would have got me if I spoke kindness to myself. I'll tell you where it gets me. Right back to 7-Eleven, another box of mini chocolate donuts and the chock and milkshake. That's the one voice.

That's the one voice that most of us that you're talking about. If you don't have a conversation in there, the other voice that you create that said, okay, how does this look? Looks very ugly. That kind conversation for me went away a long time ago, which is why the dialogue is now, which you see a lot of action, because most people have inaction because there's one person talking. And that one person has always lean you down the same path, the path that makes you feel very comfortable and happy with yourself. The second you create the other voice, there's conflict, there's battles, there's wars,

just defeat. One thing I learned, I taught myself this, and people go, I don't understand what you're saying, I'm going to try to break it down real quick. I didn't teach myself victory first. I taught myself failure. I taught myself how to fail. And people, You go, that's so depressing, is it? When you're 300 pounds and you can't read and write and you're fucked up, you don't many times you're going to fucking fail on that process? So if you don't know how to fail, there is no victory. I never talked about winning.

Because I knew the path to winning was going to be years of failing first. So I taught myself how to fail properly. I don't want to teach you how to fucking fail. but if you're going out for insurmountable fucking odds that make absolutely no fucking sense a black kid that can't swim, 300 pounds will be a Navy seal. Okay.

You better teach stuff how to fail first because if you sit in failure for too long, you will never come out of it. So the first part of my success was learning how to fail properly. And then eventually, I started getting a few victories. But that's what people don't get. When you have buried yourself in such a deep fucking hole,

you better first talk about the failures you're going to have first. And that's when that other voice comes up. It tells you we got to do something. It also tells you, boy, I'm not going to lie to your Goggins. You're in for a fucking climb, bro. You're going to get your ass handed to you, made fun of, the outside noise, the inside. noise, both voices are going to be fucking telling you to go fuck yourself.

You are in for hell, bro. I am. So I better learn to fail. And sometimes all the voices are telling you the wrong shit, man. But through years, years, not a podcast or listening to a book or reading a book, years of sacrifice, of suffering, of diligent, pinpoint fucking work on what you want to do for yourself. Not like, oh, let me just do a bunch of shit. Let me, I want to be in every task possible.

No. Pimpoint what I want to do with my life. What happens is you have all these voices that are telling you you're fucked up and this is going to be hard. But for some reason, you put so much practice into you that you can ignore every one of them that are telling you, you know, you know, going to fucking make it and still be able to fucking make it because you have put the practice in that you know this is the process it's such a daunting task that all the voices are saying no but you still have the conviction that i know i can do this and that's what it took for me to get here 30 years ago, I had this 35, whatever it was, 30, to 25 years ago, pipe dream.

And ever since then, every voice was like, you're a fucking nut. But when you put that practice in, every day you lace them up. And I don't mean, Ron. It's just a metaphor for life. When you lace the motherfuckers up every day, pretty soon you win. Pretty soon you'll fucking win. If you have the courage and the heart and the dedication and the mindset, everybody can go fuck themselves.

I know what I know. I've listened to myself enough to know. I know what I know. None of you can hear what I'm hearing. And that's what people don't do enough of. They don't listen to their journey. They listen to everybody else is shit. You're not looking at the truth in front of you.

The truth in front of you is it sucks. It's painful. It's fucking mind-numbing. And that is the truth. and that's why a lot of people don't like listening to me because this is what it takes. Creating another voice and sometimes going out of the alone. All the time going out of alone

because no one's going to believe in you. You know what? I was nervous at first. I'm going to keep it real. I'm going to keep it real. I'm not a real smart guy. And what I mean by that is I was born with ADD, ADHD. My brain cannot retain information.

I'm not some genetic frequent when it comes to running when it comes to lifting waste. I am absolutely the bottom of the barrel, and people will never believe me, and they can just, you know, whatever, believe what you want to believe. So when you're asking this question about what does studying look like for me, I have to go over the same page over and over and over again. While Jennifer can look at that page, while she's, you know, quizzing me, she'll learn it right then as she's, she doesn't know anything about it. she will quiz herself or quiz me and learn it as she's quizzing me. It's the most frustrating thing in the world how my brain works. So what I do is I literally sit there with a pen and paper and I have my books

and I go through and have to write everything down every single day. I will study the same page until it's photographic memory. From writing the same thing down, it sucks. everything I do in life, it sucks. That's why when I was 300 pounds and 24 years old, it wasn't like I had some big epiphany of let's just go be a Navy SEAL and let's lose some weight.

No, I knew my entire life was going to be a struggle, which is why I just ignored it. And I said, I'm not even trying to jump off into this shit and learn how to read, how to write, how to memorize, how to become something I am. not. But through that process, something happened to me. And I realized, this is why I feel sorry for no one. In this podcast, they're going to really not like me because people are going to think that I am maybe lying or maybe fibbing or exaggerating. No, I am literally, I was the lowest

form on earth, no talent, no ability to learn. And I literally, know what it is to be rock bottom and to build that up. So that question about learning is the pain in my ass. And I don't have to do it. It's the thing about it. I'm 49 years old and I'm a multi-millionaire. I don't have to do anything. So all I thought about when I was growing up is, man, I can't wait to one day get to the point where I no longer have to do this stuff. But what happens, I got older, it became a way of living. How my mind is wired now is that everything I do, is what I do. Because the focus it takes for me to, like right now,

I'm running, I'm not like a great runner. I'm not like injury-free. So like my first 20 minutes of the run, I'm limping. I'm literally limping because I've had several knee surgeries and my body was twisted. And so now it's untwisting. So people look at him, oh, it looks like he's limp,

you know, like limping when he runs. I am limping when I run. My body's jacked up. So I'm focusing on how to get. get the best out of a broken body. So everything I do is a total focus on what I'm doing at that point. And that's why I don't feel bad for people who have ADHD, who have learning disabilities. And but people don't want to go through the process of focus, of teaching yourself how to truly focus. This is where my message gets lost. It gets lost because I may say, you know, MF or F.

You know, I may be because that's the passion that comes out of me because that's, it takes everything for me to learn a sentence. So when I speak about David Gagons, I can't speak about David Gagons in a way that's just calm and cool. Because when I wake up, I know the journey that it takes for me to find my greatness. And it's hard. Nothing is easy. Nothing just like, oh, I wake up and I just do this or I do that.

It's just, you know, I watch people every day go through life, and it's so easy. For me to be where I'm at today, it takes every bit of me. So when I speak about it, and as I get going here, you'll start seeing me, the temple will rise. The passion will come out because I'm back there. I'm doing what I do every day to become a human being. And so nothing is easy. Like running is running. It sucks, but you have a choice to make.

Do you want to sit down and go back to that guy? you once were. No. So this is what it takes. It takes that misunderstanding of people and they'll never get it because they've never David Gagons. So that is what it takes for me to do what I do. It may take you something differently. So for me, everything has to be in the studying. Everything has to be into this. Everything has to be, and everywhere I am has to be there. Me, focus, where I am. That's why you're my second podcast I've done since Rogan since the book came out. I don't have time for that shit. Because if I want to be great, I'm not trying to maximize money or maximize people knowing me. I do these things because maybe someone out there will understand me and get it

and say, I can grow from this guy. And others just won't. The biggest misunderstanding about David Gagas of all time, it's like whether you believe in God or not, I do. He put this lab rat, which is me on this planet. And so let me fucking see with a beat-up abused kid who has, who can barely learn, barely learn,

who has a twisted body, messed up messed up genetics, sickle cell, this and that. Let me give him everything that pretty much disqualifies you from the military. But back then, it wasn't as stressed. And let's put him in this and see what comes out of it.

So to do that, friction. You don't wake up in the morning time and go to the coffee maker. Matter of fact, sometimes you don't even sleep. What it requires is when I'm at 2 o'clock in the morning, and my brain is thinking about a fucking drug. And I got to get up and look in my book to see that drug is how I remember it. And this is every day of my fucking life. That's why I'm not trained a fighter or I train some.

I'm like, you have no fucking idea how great you really are. because you are using such minimal, minimal of what you have. The most frustrating thing in the world for me is when normal people judge a man like myself on what it really takes to extract greatness from nothing. It takes every bit of who you are if you choose that route. If you don't, Merry Christmas, do what you got to do. But yeah, all these things for me, like I told you me, I'm going to keep it real.

I'm not coming here to talk about like, you know, perform without purpose. Because I go through, when I write these books, I go through and try to dumb down David Gagas. How can I give normal people, and I'm normal, but I found something that most don't want to find. How can I speak to people and give them something from this crazy, psychotic, brain that I've developed. How can I give them that? So I sit down with Jennifer for years and write down, perform without purpose, callous your mind, armor your mind, the cookie jar, the accountability mirror, shit that people can fucking use in their lives. No, no, I'm glad it helps you, but the barbaric life that I live, that you have to live, the almost obsession that you must have to be

great, you can't put that shit in a fucking book, bro. You can't put in the book. Can't. The brain that I was given as a child, it was easy to go home and think about how do I want to be a freak today? How do I want to show up to school today and be a freak? It didn't require me going home and open the book up saying, it's going to take me all year to learn this fucking page.

So instead of learning that page, I learned how to become a character. And maybe that character that I created, that 300-pound insecure guy that used to fake it time make it type of guy, you know, let me become your friend, let me lie to you until you like me type of guy. When you have any kind of any manhood, womanhood, a human being, a soul, a spirit, any, I had no, I must have just this much pride. because that's exactly what opened the door for me. Because every day you were a character, every day you were a clown, every day you open that Spanish book or that science book or English book,

and you looked at it was like, it looked like a foreign language. And you're saying, where do I start? Who do I start? And obviously it was necessary. The more I talk about it, it was necessary because what happened is I became haunted by the mere fact that this is my existence.

And when you sit back as fucked up as I was and I had a laundry list, a table like this of what I have to do to become just a human being that can make ends meet, that can make $1,000 a month just to get there. It was like, oh, my God, dude. Like, how they... I'm 16, 17.

I can't read, I can't write. and I oh my God, I'm so behind the power curve and my brain is about being depressed and my dad beat my mom's not home and kids are calling me nigger at school and I'm like, oh my God, man, what the fuck do I do? And it wasn't like someone came around

and said, hey man, you can do this. This is all me. Some people don't know where is this cold man come from? I'm not trying to be cold. It's the reality of my life. it's the reality of a lot of people's lives because no matter how much you improve no matter how much you change who you are,

it's not permanent. You'll just wake up and say, oh my God, man, you're David Gagons, you break records, you do this, you do that. People don't know, how are you able to just be so hard because I never turned the fucking thing off? Because once it turns off, I go right back to the David Gagans

that is. And that's the guy that I'm constantly fighting every day. And it's a choice. And that choice makes you misunderstood. It makes you crazy. There's no fucking passion. There's no fucking motivation. There's no, oh my God, man, I fucking, this is, no. It's every day of your life just doing. No passion. No discipline, no motivation. All these words, I hate people. I hate that's so many people fucking use these words now because it's watered. It's someone sitting in the room by themselves and they figure themselves out and say, God, this is going to fucking suck. Where's passion when you're 300 pounds?

Where's the motivation when you can't read and write? Where is it? So how did this happen? I just fucking did. I just did it. I said, maybe at the end of this journey there'll be something there for me. If not, I can read. If not, I'm 185 fucking pounds.

There's no magic potion. There's no, oh, let me wake up and look at some shit. No, all those words are overused. They're bullshit. It's all bullshit. Just do your living. How do you want to live? How do you want to die?

How do you want to fucking be remembered? That's, that's it. That's it. Period. let me teach you the real life how it really is. The reason why you're a loser and the reason why you're not fucking making it

and the reason why you're trying to go to all these, I go to all these fucking conventions speak all the fucking time. I look in the fucking audience and these people sign up, sign up, sign up, fucking every year to go to a convention thinking they're going to learn something fucking different. No, you're lazy,

you know exactly what to do, exactly what to do. Because even me, in my state of I can't read and write. I knew exactly what to do. It just sucks doing it. It sucks to do it. It sucks to wake up every morning of your life and say,

God, man, I'm not smart. So guess what I got to do? I got to study the same shit that I get one of the highest scores in the nation on. And do it again. Do it again. Do it again. It's not just there. It's not just there permanently for me.

I do not feel sorry for you. I will not sugarcoat what I'm going to say to you because all of you know what I'm saying is the truth. Everybody knows it the truth. This is what it looks like, and you know it too. You know what too. If you ain't got nothing, I hate to tell you what it looks like is ugly. It's not a documentary.

It's not an HBO special. You ain't go watch them, hey, man, you guys got watch this. No, it's like, oh, God, this looks like a train wreck. It's like a nightmare. This looks like this guy got, no, that's what it looks like. Hard work looks horrible. It's not motivating. It's not motivating at all.

It ain't like Rocky Round 14 when he gets knocked down and goes that diss to Apollo Creed. It looks like a man being stuck in a fucking dungeon and there's no fucking way out. But you had the fucking key. But you refuse to use it.

And that's nothing motivating about that. There's no fucking hack, bro. There's no fucking hack. Yeah, you may this and that and saunas and this. All this shit that they, yeah, it's great. There is no fucking life hack. To grow that thing, how do you grow it?

Do it and do it and do it and do it. That's the hack. The hack is going to fucking suck. And that's what I realized. That's what I realized. That's why I want to come on here today. I didn't want to come on here and talk about no fucking passion and purpose and how to get the fuck out of bed and how to hit a fucking alarm clock

all this catchphrase bullshit. Because that wasn't how I lived. I wasn't how I lived. I woke up like every human being does and goes, fuck, man, I'm a fucking piece of shit today. How the hell is this going to work out for me? And you fight that. And you fight that.

You don't override it. There's no override button. It's the conversation in your fucking in your head. So how do you do that? We don't have enough of these conversations about the real conversation that every human being is having and they have no idea how to get out of it, but they do.

It's that shit right there, man. Yeah, build your will. How do you build your will? Exactly what you said, man. Exactly what you said. There's no hacks, bro. It's you against you. You against you.

And if you misunderstand that, you have a real problem. Real problem. I can understand you misunderstand me, running out of the street, shirt off. Fuck this, no, yeah. I can get it. I get it.

If you misunderstand what I'm saying right now today, the problem is you, and you don't want to fix it. I wake up like, man, my knees hurt, my legs hurt, my body hurts, but you can still run. So why aren't you running? If you can still run, there'll be a time when you can't lace them up anymore,

but you can still run. So I still run. When the time comes I can't run, the body will say, You just can't run. But if I can still do something that willpower that I have created, it makes me do it every fucking day. And that's what they don't get.

What builds a human being is you start with the small building blocks. And before you know it, man, you become something that you, it doesn't even make sense to most people because it's just who you are now. That's why I can still run at 50 with 40, at 49, with broke down knees and broke down body. Because my body knows you still can. therefore I do. Second you stop, the willpower is gone. People can call you nigger.

They can call you if you're a lesbian or gay or bisexual. Call you what the fuck you want. If you put yourself in the fire and you come out every fucking day like this, brush it off, not scared to go back in there again, come on, man. Your truth is real. You come out every day, man,

with a way of talking to people that people don't have because there's no truth behind them. And the truth is the starting line. When you sit in an ugly mirror and say, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, and this, you finally started your life. Maybe 40 years old. Maybe 40 years old, five, six kids, wife, but the second you look in that mirror, and you say, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, well, basically,

I'm not this, I'm not this, I can't do this, I can't do this, I'm all these insecurities. Your life finally started. People love the lie. You know, I thought I was only a person, like when I was growing up, I thought the only person that lied. Because I live in the bubble. And people love to lie about who they're not. They love to lie about who they're not, dude. And that's, for me, the reason why I'm so vulnerable and I'm so real and honest,

find somebody come out and tell me online about my fucking life. And for me to come where I came from and have the resume I have now, you know the confidence you get, how I don't care who you're going to judge me. You're going to judge me? What have you done in your life? So me being so honest and so upfront and so truthful, that came with me finally figuring out who I was, but also conquering David Gagons, the demons of David Gagons.

I've trained 99% of my life alone. No one pat me on the back. I did all of the work alone. And while I'm still hard on myself, I know what I did. So whenever times get bad, I think people, all this, who's your care of the boats and love?

That's real. I hate that people know me for that guy because that guy is not every fucking day. Like when they see me, they want that energy. That's not me every day. I can extract it immediately when I need to because when you train alone and I lived alone for so many years

in this misery and you're able to get out of by yourself. I can take myself to something. such a level of real, real passion and purpose. And like, the feeling I get is something I can't even explain by myself. I don't need anyone. See, people are haunted. But they obviously like horror films because they keep watching the same fucking movie. I don't like horror films.

A lot of people like horror films. So I don't say much to them. I say exactly what I said to you, right there, because I was once you. I didn't like horror films, so I changed it. Some people are just, they become, like you said, it gets real small when you're lazy and you're fat, your will. Their will is so small that they don't have any,

and you can't give it to them. There has to be something, this is what I'm talking about now, because this isn't a hack. This has to be in you. Something in you has to wake up. And usually the only person that can wake it up is you. Sometimes you can read a David Gagin's book because I was all this shit and then a lot more of fucked up. But if you don't have a little flame, you know, just that, just barely you're done.

I can't, I can't light it for you. And that's the harsh reality of this life that I want to get across so fucking bad. You can watch me, you can watch you, you can watch fucking Rogan and Cameron Haynes, all these motherfuckers. You can go to Tony Robbins and fucking bullshit, all this shit. You do all this shit. If you, you could keep going back

and keep spending money and spending money and spending money with no results. You can wonder, wow, maybe let me go try out David Goggins. He ain't going to fucking help you. You have to explore, examine the insides of yourself. And what do you really want out of life? Your friend, and a lot of people out here, just don't fucking want it.

So guess what? Have fun with your life because you don't want it. And that's the harsh reality. I can't give you shit. You can't give them shit. You can give you ideas. In the day, when I was losing the weight,

I had to miserably wake up every morning in the cold because it was Indiana, November, when it started. I was miserable. This is your new life. Take it or leave it. There's no happiness about it. There's no peace behind it.

It sucks. It just fucking sucks. And that's the one thing if I could teach anybody, anything, it just fucking sucks. And it's going to continue to suck. And then one day you get to a special part in your life, that it might get a little bit better. But to lose the way you have to lose, my friend.

lose, my friend. Sorry. It's going to suck every fucking day. There's no dopamine. There's no dopamine in there at 300 pounds. You got nothing. Your hormones are shot. You have to envision something that is more powerful than you. Something has to get you out of bed. And you have to create it. It has to be false because you're not it. You're a fat piece of shit. And that's the reality of it. So you have to create a false reality to live in that just to get to work on yourself. That's the reality. Thank you for tuning in.
