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 convention, thinking they're gonna learn something fucking different. You're lazy? You know exactly what to do.

Exactly what to do. It just sucks doing. It sucks to do it. Everybody has the ability to do it. But they just don't want to. They want to keep asking questions and keep going to seminars. 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' fucking bullshit. Do all this shit. Do all this.

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 gonna fucking help you. You have to explore, examine the insides of yourself, and what do you really want out of life? Maybe you're a piece of shit, maybe you're you want to be no.

Maybe you're happy exactly where you are in life, because obviously you are. Maybe you don't have the determination to be somebody better than who you are. And if you want to live with that. I'll support you in that. That makes you feel good. Nothing I can say to you. Something in you has to wake up. And usually the only person that can wake it up is you. 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. I want you to learn that the only way you grow is how to look at yourself and say, okay, like I did. Table longer than this. What the fuck I have to do to get somewhere. I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this. Well basic I'm not this, 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. When you sit in the ugly mirror and say, I'm this, I'm this, I'm this and this

Finally started your life. But most of all, your biggest fear. The biggest things that put you in the fucked up place you are today are in the That's why we all like to keep'em shut. Even like to lock'em up. Act like they never happened. That's why you never grow. You never improve. You never have real conversations like we're having right now. Never. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, let's not no no no let's not go there. You gotta relive it.

Every fucking detail of it. You can't be like, oh yeah, yeah, my dad beat me. And they you know, you know, it is what it is. Man, it is what it is, motherfucker. It's killing you. It's taking over your whole fucking life. But that's the conversation Yeah, my dad. Yeah, but I'm fine now though. I'm good. Okay. Human beings want to show you the best side and they want to hide the worst side. For me, I'm going to teach you how to be vulnerable.

'Cause that's the only way you fix yourself. I didn't teach myself victim. اشتركوا في القناة And people are like, that's so depressing, is it? When you're 300 pounds and you can't read and write and you're fucked up, you know how many times you're gonna fucking fail on that process? So if you don't know how to fail, there is no victory. I mean, you have buried yourself in such a deep fucking hole. You better teach yourself how to fail first.

Because if you sit in failure for too long, you will never come out of it. So I taught myself how to fail properly. No one teaches you how to fucking fail and then eventually I started getting a few victories. 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 because human beings need to hear this.

They need to stop hearing these hacks. There's no fucking hack, bro. Do it and do it. And do it and do it. That's the hack.

The heck is gonna fucking suck. And that's what I realized. It sucks to wake up every morning of your life and Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. It's not just there. It's not just there permanently for me. 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 gonna work out for me? And you fight that. And you fight that you don't override it.

It's no override button. It's the conversation in your fucking like 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 you against you. You against you. And if you misunderstand that, you have a real problem. If you misunderstand what I'm saying right now today. The problem is you.

And you don't want to fix it. Why most people don't want to do that is because it is scary. It unlocks a whole bunch of things about who you are and who you're not. Scary to wake up every day and say, I'm stupid, but I want to figure out a way to be smart. Versus saying, man, I just can't do that. So you limit this box. So your box becomes so small of things you can do. My box wasn't even a box.

It was a fucking little like little pinhole. And then through examining myself, getting some willpower, some courage. It became bigger than this tape. 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. I just fucking did. I just did. This is why I cussed, because this is what is in me. This is this is what it took for me to be me.

It didn't take hey, okay, we're gonna do this today. No, this fucking really sucks. This is real, dude. This is real. 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. For you to constantly win, win, win, when this voice over here, the real you, is saying, You've always been so People don't hear that. That's a true voice.'Cause whenever I take these tests that are real hard

Back of my brain, it's like the good chance you're not gonna make it, Goggins. This ain't you, bro. This ain't you. You weren't born. This ain't you, the real you, bro. Study all you want to, but the second that fucking computer comes on with one hundred and fifty questions This ain't you, man. And somehow comes back a past. Past again. Past again. But that rule me back here every fucking time. It's saying.

That is you. And I have to outwork that voice. And then you had to create another voice over here. That is saying you're better than that. What happens is you have all these voices that are telling you you're fucked up and this could be hard, but for some reason, you put so much practice into that you can ignore every one of them that are telling you you're not gonna fucking make it. And still be able to fucking make it. But when you put that practice in every day you lace them up, and I mean

It's just a metaphor for life. When you lace them motherfuckers up every day, pretty soon you win. Pretty soon you'll fucking win. Via the courage and the heart and the dedication and the mindset of everybody can go fucking.

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 job. They listen to everybody else's shit. Everybody needs that pat on the back. They need that training partner. They need that accountability coach. I don't need that shit. And neither do they. But it's what we've trained ourselves to believe that we need. I've trained 99% of my life alone.

No one pat me on the back. I did all of the work alone. I have a resume full of fucking motives. That whenever I'm down my oh hang on my Oh you know, you know the truth. You know the truth. You know the darkness of the fucking dungeons and the fucking demons 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 there. It was you.

It was you. There was no pat on the fucking back at 300, at 275, at 250, at 220. No, that was you. 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. That's worth it. Every dome I've ever made in my life.

is the fact that I can look a man in the eye finally and have a real conversation without going like this. 'Cause I'm lying or I'm a piece of shit. Who I am and who I say I am, I am. No more lies. No more skirting the truth. No more bullshit. And that is worth every dime I've ever made in my life. And I swear to God on that. Most people are missing something because they don't know who they are.

They never examine themselves. They've never done this experiment on themselves. Most people are missing something because there's so much trash. In there. There's so much in you that God or wherever the hell you believe in, or if you're atheist in you, that you have not unlocked for you to be a piece of shit and come out of that. You don't just come out of it.

Studying your mind and the human mind. You studied all because you had to put all this together to create the mind to become successful. But once you figure out your your brain. You become unstoppable. to almost anything. Your brain's amazing. Once you feed it the right conversation, the right mental nutrient. The right mental supplements.

the right 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 A beast. But once again You can't sit back and be a theorist. You have to be a fucking practitioner. Everybody what's what's this life about? That ain't no sense. Being tested, my friend. Tests come, When you have not studied.

Tests come when you think that you're in a great place. That's that's the test. The test is every day of your life. And most of us fail because we don't know why we're here, because we don't go inward. And this test sucks. Thank you for tuning in. Continue strengthening your mind by listening to our other episodes.
