“All those bad days, all those days you don't want to do anything, you have to be your own motivator, your own coach, your own trainer, your own everything. To do that, you have to come into work and work, whatever your job may be, ready to go. What that means is you may have failed miserably yesterday, but you come to work like, "Man, you just lost everything." How the hell are you just so motivated? Because this is what it takes. This is what it takes. You have to get it from wherever you can. Whether you create an illusion of your life or a false reality that gets you motivated, whatever gets you motivated has to be at the tip of your brain at all times. Because in those dark moments, you have to pull it out.”

Once you identify your purpose, you can determine your goals. Now you need to sit down and plan. How are you going to accomplish these goals? The hardest part is putting the action in, and that's where everybody fails.”

“If you're willing to suffer—and I mean suffer—your brain and your body, once connected together, can do anything. Motivation is crap; it comes and goes. When you're driven, whatever's in front of you will get destroyed. The mentality of a warrior is very different from a normal mentality. You must be that person at that door, thinking to yourself, "If I die, so be it.".”

Build confidence to the point where nothing can hurt you because you know exactly who you are. You've faced your demons. You were able to hear all your past traumas. I'm no longer embarrassed. I'm no longer ashamed to go into the archives of your life, dig it up, study it, and then use it for yourself.”
— David Goggins
