I was born with a brain that struggles to learn, and I had to develop a strong sense of self-discipline to overcome my past and become who I am today. This journey has been about extracting greatness from my struggles.

Everything I've done in my life, I didn't want to do; I built my willpower through years of suffering and hard work.

I realized that my workaholic tendencies stemmed from a fear of annihilation and a desire to prove my worth, which I had to confront to find balance in my life.

I've learned that the journey of pursuing my goals is often more fulfilling than the achievement itself.

I can't say how long it will take to achieve a better life, but I know that I couldn't have the relationship I have now without first making those changes.

You can't just read about motivation; you have to be a practitioner, engaging in the process to truly understand and harness your potential.

The truth is that everything I've achieved comes from hard work and a commitment to being real, without lies or pretenses. I go right back to ground zero, which means I'm just David Goggins, and that's where my growth is and my willpower comes from.

You need to change the dialogue in your head and commit to the journey of self-improvement.

I realized that my fear of dying without accomplishing anything drove me to push myself beyond my limits.
