Why does true growth require pain and suffering?

David Goggins 0:00
Average people think going from one level to the next level is like having this enlightening moment. And just feeling great. Feeling empowered and having a big breakthrough. No. You know what it looks like? Pain. Suffering. Exhaustion. You only go from one level to the next. When you're tired of the level you're on. And you grind for it, you make yourself suffer. You do whatever the hell you gotta do. To go from where you are to where you want to be. No matter what it takes, it is the suffering that makes you grow. And you won't have to fight?
Eric Thomas 0:46
And fight and fight and fight. And most of you won't be successful not because you can't do it, but you can't outlast your old you long enough to get to your new you.
Unknown 0:58
I don't want to change. Of course you don't. Die with your dreads in. But shut your mouth and quit telling everybody you want to make more money. Just shut your fing mouth. Quit complaining, dude. You fing settled. You like it. So shut up and stay comfortable. But for those of you that

How can you stop complaining and start embracing discomfort?

Unknown 1:13
Wanna kill it? Wait the f up. Don't be finished. Be starting. Be alert. Be ready. Be attacking. Be relentless. Let the enemy stop. Let the enemy rest. Let the enemy finish. You don't finish. Don't stop. Don't rest. Back off. Negative. Negative. Bring it. I'm stepping it up. I'm training harder. Eating cleaner. I'm training more. I'm learning and reading and studying more now than I ever have in my whole life. Do I get dinged up? Of course I do. Or take some injuries? No big deal, no factor, whatever.

What daily habits turn ordinary effort into relentless grinding?

Unknown 1:53
Doesn't matter. Because I don't stop. No complacency. No backing off. No slack whatsoever. Fight. Every day is a beginning. A new day. A new week. A new shot at life. An opportunity to come out of the gate like a man possessed and attack the day without mercy. Today I'm taking scouts. I'm putting the pressure on. I am the aggressor. I am on the attack. Run to pressure. Run to pressure. Every single thing in your life that's hard. Run to it. Get in it. Test yourself. Test yourself. Don't you run from that looks hard. Good. Go get in it. This is an opportunity for me to grow. I'm here because I want to grow.

Why should you keep pushing even after achieving a goal?

Unknown 2:43
Something's hard, jump in it. Every freaking day of your life, live uncomfortable.
David Goggins 2:47
When you say this sucks, I'm drowning, I'm miserable, I'm suffering, but I'm not going anywhere. What happens to your mind, it's gotta expand, it's gotta grow. You start to engage parts of your mind that you've never engaged before. When you're in suffering mode and you say, I'm not gonna.
Unknown 3:03
quit. Expand yourself. Take yourself out your comfort zone. If you stay in your comfort zone, that's where you will fail. So you gotta get comfortable being uncomfortable if you ever want to be successful. There's someone out there who wants what you have, who wants the position you are, who wants the job you have. There's someone out there hungry that wants everything you have. Make that motivation for you. Don't get comfortable. There's someone out there right now, and I don't know who they are, but they wanna kick y'all's ass. I promise you. You are not fighting anymore, and you're being what they want you to be. Average. They're talking shit on you right now. We ain't gonna let them. We're gonna go to war.
Unknown 3:46
I need you guys to stay crazy. I need you guys to get pissed off. Because listen to me, comfort will kill you. I keep my edge. I feel like my competition is

How does competing with yourself unlock new levels of performance?

Unknown 3:56
trying to dilute me and water me down every day. They want me to get comfortable. Not a chance in hell. Not a chance in hell. I'll die before I lose this edge. I protect it with everything I got. I'm trying to get through to push.
Eric Thomas 4:08
yourself to a point that you have never been to before. Because when you get to that point, you're gonna propel to another dimension of your life. Can't nobody stop you but you you not average. Stop acting like it's you not average. Why you being average? You not average. Why you being good when you're not good? You great. When you gonna step up to the plate you got the opportunity what you doing with it? Every day when you wake up push yourself. Get up compete. Many of y'all are not competing. I need effort. Compete.
