David Goggins: 年轻时,我常感到自卑和无能为力。后来我意识到,只要我行动起来并激励自己,就能取得很多成就,所以我成为了一个自我激励者。我为未来做好了充分的准备,这样即使我不能活到老年,我也能有所保障。你必须永远做好准备,而不是临时准备。我和卡梅伦之间的关系是互相激励,互相挑战,看谁先崩溃。失败并不意味着放弃,而是意味着需要更多地学习和研究。我不把失败看作是失败,而是看作是尝试。只要你愿意尝试,就没有失败,只有尝试。我不让失败这个词影响我,我会立刻夺走它的力量。如果我看到你犯错而不指出来,我就没有尽到责任。我要伤害所有认为我不会成功的人的感情,我的动力永不满足。如果你想变得伟大,就必须有不给别人留下任何机会的心态。你必须把你的目标摆在桌面上,否则它就不会实现。即使我不是最好的,但只要我朝着这个目标努力,我就能更接近它。如果你想找到内在的伟大,就必须有不给任何人留下机会的心态。

Okay, go!

So when I was young, I used to be a little piece of shit. Oh, I'm not good enough. I can't do this. I can't do that. The second I got my head out of my ass and I realized, man, you can achieve a lot. If you get off your ass, you start moving and you start motivating yourself. So I become a self motivator. So I started front loading in front. Man, you've done so much by 47 because I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring me.

So my military resume is fat. You know, I did a lot in the military. I did a lot outside the military. I've made money. I've done almost every race out there, hard race in the world. I've broken pull-up records. I've done a lot of shit. So when these bad times come, and also, I don't want to hear that, like work your ass off so you can enjoy. Yeah, you're taking a shot. You know, you may not live to be old, but what if you do? And you worked your ass off when you were able.

and you were able to get up early, able to grind. If you front load it properly, the back half of your life is money. And that's what I did. And this is one thing about life. This is why you always must be ready. Always be ready. Never get ready. People go, oh, hey, what are you training for, David? I ain't training for shit. When something pops up, I'm ready. So when Cam popped the fuck up and Cam calls, hey, man, I'm going to be in Las Vegas. You want to go for a run? Sure do.

Sure do, brother. Sure do. While the run sucked, I was ready. We ain't got some steak. Same day. Saying, oh, we worked it out, dude. Whenever we meet him together, you can guarantee it's going to be two people that love each other, but are waiting for the other motherfucker to break. A hundred percent, dude. It's like this thing in the back of your head. Okay, maybe this will break him. Maybe this will break him. So we haven't broken each other yet, but I'm sure the day will come. In my mind, a lot of times, man, I'm like, it doesn't mean I quit.

I don't quit. You know, I may not make it the first time, but I'll come back. I got caught on audible. I can get my head back in the game. I got to figure this shit out. It doesn't mean you leave. It means you study it more. It means you study it more. And whenever I feel that something, people always say, man, how do you handle failure, man? I fail a lot, dude. I fail all the time. They go, how do you handle it? What I'm trying to do, and this isn't being arrogant, man. It's being real. Not many people are trying to do.

There's not many people who can even open their mouth and criticize me when I do fail because I'm on trying to do that many people are trying to do. But I don't look at failure as failure. I look at failure as your first, second, third, fourth, fifth attempt. I look at them as attempts. I look at anything as failure.

Because when you're willing to try to do something, not trying is failure. And that's not some after school special. But when you're able to go out there, there is no failure. It's attempts. Because when you're trying to do something that's bigger than you, whatever you are, whoever you are, if you're paralyzed, you're trying to walk one step and you didn't. You didn't fail. That was your first attempt. If that's your biggest thing, that's how your mindset needs to go into everything.

So I don't look at it as failure is a big word that gets people down. We give so much power to words. I don't. I take the power right away. I didn't feel shit. Hey, come here, brother. Let me talk to you real quick, brother. People don't like that, man. But I'm not going to allow you to go to a place that's going to be hard to get out of.

It's going to be hard. If I allow you to gain five more pounds or allow you to take four more days off of school or allow you to keep on procrastinating in your life and I see it and I tell Jennifer behind your back, I'm doing you no justice. Zero justice. So where this world is now, you can't say a motherf***er. I do. I still do. And I always will. Don't like me. Don't like me. I'm good with that. Everybody in this community,

stadium has a savage mentality it's a primal instinct whether you believe it or not we all have it i'm trying to hurt every mother feelings in the world anybody who thought i wasn't going to be somebody it's never enough like a dog i got a little bulldog at home and i can't feed that mother enough food

I feed, he will eat, she will eat until she's dead. That's me. I leave no scraps on the table for anyone to pick up. And that's the mentality that you must have if you want to be great. And the thing about greatness is this, the sad thing about it, most of us never even think about it because we don't believe it's even in our arena.

We think greatness is Michael Jordan or Tom Brady or Serena Williams or whoever the f*ck it is. People have a lot of money. You have to put that sh*t in your roller desk. Until you start to think that way, whatever you think about, trust me, it will become exactly who the f*ck you are. I wanted to be the hardest mother f*cker that ever lived. Am I that? It doesn't matter. I don't care. That was my goal when I was a 300 pound piece of sh*t.

I'm not too far away from that mother f***er now. Maybe. But that said, you gotta put that s*** on the f***ing table. If you don't, it's not going to happen. Like I said, am I the best mother f***er out there? Probably not. But I put it out there. So then, I am that much closer to that.

So that's what keeps me hungry every day. I'm leaving nothing out there for anybody to have. And that's the mentality that we all must have if you're searching for true greatness within yourself. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. And the starting point from which you must take off if you wish to write your own ticket from here on out for the remainder of your life, I will describe for you in these simple instructions.

One, write down a clear description of your major desire in life. The one circumstance or position or thing which you will be willing to accept as your idea of success. And remember before you begin writing that your only limitations are those which you set up in your own mind or permit others to set up for you. And two, write down a clear statement of precisely what you intend to give in return for that which you desire from life.

and then start in right where you stand now to begin giving. And three, memorize both of your statements, what you desire and what you intend to give in return for it. And repeat them at least a dozen times daily. And always remember

End your statements with this expression of gratitude for the blessings with which you were gifted at birth. I ask not for more riches, but more wisdom with which to accept and use wisely the riches I received at birth in the form of the power to control and direct my mind to whatever ends I desire.

If you are not too successful or self-satisfied to accept and express this profound prayer, if you accept it and express it in the same spirit of humble sincerity in which I pass it on to you, a new and a better world will reveal itself to you.

The most powerful tool in the world is you, a pen and a piece of paper. This is the greatest wealth creator in the world. And one of the things I taught, and I've taught more than 5 million people, is write your goals down on paper and write them down in the present tense as though you had already achieved them. I earned X number of dollars in 2019. I am a self-made millionaire.

by 2000 january 1st 2025 i weigh x number of pounds i live in a 5 000 square foot house with a separate bedroom for each one of my children in other words write it down as though we're already a fact and you're just reporting it you're just reporting the fact your subconscious mind is is is is marvelous but what it does is it only thrives on

goals that you pronounce in the now, in the present tense. Your brain knows that you're not a millionaire, but now you're saying, "I am a millionaire." And so your brain goes to work to close this gap between where you are and where you want to be. And your brain starts to work 24 hours a day. And it works and it gives you ideas.

Here is the true secret of the law of attraction. You have a core vibrational frequency. It is purely uniquely you. It's a beacon. It's like a lighthouse. It shines, it radiates purely that signature frequency of your unique being. It never stops radiating that light, that frequency, that energy. Never stops. Everything that is in alignment with that frequency is doing its utmost to come to you.

Everything that is not aligned with that frequency is doing its utmost to get as far away from you as it possibly can. If the things that are aligned with that beacon aren't reaching you, it's not because you're not vibrating at the resonance that you need to attract it. It's because your definitions and beliefs are holding it away. If the things that are trying to get away from you

can't get away from you, it's not because they're not trying, it's because you're holding on to them. So the true secret of the law of attraction is not how to learn to attract what you prefer, it's how to learn to let go of what you don't, so that you can let in what is trying to get to you automatically, by definition.

That's the true secret and that's why it's effortless. It's just about letting go and letting in. It's not about having to learn to do something you're not already doing. Imagine waking up one day and realizing that you haven't been living the life you truly want. All the limitations, fears, and failures seem to have trapped you in invisible walls. But do you know what?

Each of us holds a hidden power within. The power to change, to grow, and to overcome ourselves. Remember, no success comes easily. The people you admire today have all faced failure and once stood where you are. They dared to rise, to face their fears, and to keep moving forward. They knew that every setback wasn't the end, but a step toward growth, a lesson to propel them further.

Today, give yourself a chance. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. No matter how challenging the road ahead may be, no matter how big the obstacles, trust in yourself. When you're truly committed to your goal, nothing can stand in your way. Keep going. Keep giving your best. Turn your dreams into reality and let every step you take bring you closer to the person you're meant to become.

Now is the time to rise above, to break free from all that holds you back, and to prove to yourself that you are capable of greatness. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns out...

That's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.
