But what's funny about it all is that we need these things to perform.
But we don't take a second to realize
The purpose is always there.
The purpose never leaves us because the very purpose is you.
You are always the purpose.
There may be another purpose like being a SEAL or going to college or whatever, but the main purpose in life is you.
So if you wake up in the morning and you don't want to do something, you don't care enough about yourself.
And that's what you need to really research is why am I not doing this for myself?
Because that is the number one purpose in life is to better oneself.
So that's the only purpose I need.
So the reason I get up every day, even though there's no races, there's no school, there's nothing in front of me is because I have pride in myself.
I was born David Goggins.
David Goggins wasn't good enough.
He was a scared, bullied, abused kid who struggled in life.
And that kid, whenever something got tough, no matter how hard I trained, no matter how ready I was, whenever something got tough for me, David Goggins, the real David Goggins, would come out and he would quit.
So I realized this over a period of time.
So I had to build Goggins.
And in that process, that's where I get better.
I get better when I'm digging holes in the ground, when I'm waking up early knowing I don't have to do these things.
That's where I get better.
