When you're sitting down, that guy, that valedictorian study for an hour, and you know, I caught you. I caught you. And I am dumb. But I have the work ethic to catch you. That's where David Goggins got really invented. Was at a kitchen table with 20 spiral notebooks that were empty. And then three months later, they were full. And when you can go through that, I still have them in my storage unit.

You go through these spiral notebooks of your life and you realize this is how I learned. This is unbelievable. There's no miles. It's not about the miles. It's that, having a discipline every day to say, for me to learn this one math problem, it's gonna take me 10 hours. And that's where, and you realize through hard work, you can outwork anybody, no matter how bad they are.

It starts with yourself, man. You gotta start diving into those things that you are afraid of. You don't gain confidence by going to the spot that makes you feel good. It's gonna be a false reality. And the second life gives you that challenge, all you wanna do is go back to what made you confidence or what gave you confidence. It's that happy spot.

No, what gives you confidence, what gave me confidence was spending years at a kitchen table trying to learn how to read and write on my own, realizing I can't learn the way you learn. I can't. But I can learn. What gives you confidence, not being afraid, is overcoming the fear. I used to stutter severely bad. So right now, I don't know how many people are gonna watch this.

You know what gives me confidence? Is knowing I no longer care if I sit here and start stuttering to you. That's what gives me confidence, is facing these things, overcoming them. And maybe not overcoming them every day, but facing them, and facing them, and facing them. Pretty soon like this, you know what man, this is where it's at. It's not in that comfort zone.

It's in the discomfort zone is where my confidence is getting built. That's where it's getting built. But people, they want an easier answer. There has to be an easier way. There's not. I'm sorry, I searched for it my entire life. I did. I lied, I did everything. And I still felt empty. I coach a lot of people nowadays, billionaires.

Has everything to work. On the outside looking in, like, my God, man, how can you be unhappy? I walk around with a backpack with all my stuff in it and no car. And I walk around, happiest person in the world.

Have nothing. Happy as hell. It's because... I found out the whole key to life. It's not in all that. You have to face yourself.

It's all up here, man. It's all up here.
