David Goggins on How He Became Unstoppable and Doing the Unthinkable | Impact Theory

Motivation comes and goes. When you're driven, whatever is in front of you will get destroyed.

If you're not real and raw with who the fuck you are, nothing's going to change.

That's the most powerful thing in the world—when you can find drive in your own doubt, fear, insecurities, you become very unstoppable.

The most important conversation you will ever have in your fucking life is the one you have with yourself. You wake up with it, you walk around with it, you go to bed with it. Eventually, you're going to act on it.

You gain knowledge through suffering. And on the other end of suffering is a world that very few, very few have ever seen.

If you're willing to suffer—and I mean suffer—your brain and your body, once connected together, can do anything.

You have to live in your own fucking world. You cannot judge yourself ... You can't judge yourself off of the so-called competition that we have made up in our mind ... This is a race that you run completely alone, and you're all by yourself.

I believe that most human beings are only living at about 40% of their capability.

Most of this generation quits the second they get talk to you ... It's so easy to be great nowadays because... most people are weak. This is a softened generation.

If you can get through doing things that you hate to do, on the other side is greatness.

This world, life, is one big head game. And once you learn to play the motherfucking head game, it's no longer a game anymore at all.
