Some people have no idea of the time required to be a champion! They have the math all wrong.

If you are fighting for 15 minutes, you have to put in thousands of hours in training, practicing, studying the craft and your opponent, etc. And this applies to any sport, school,or job.
Most people lose because they are doing exact math! Exact math might get you to that last round but you will never be a champion.

The one thing that most people forget is that you are mostly training for what happens during that timeframe. You are training for the multiple setbacks and unexpected blows that will happen. Training the mind requires countless hours. You need to find those things that put your mind in the hurt locker.

You have to be willing to push yourself to the limit and once you reach that limit, that is when your training begins.

Some of you don't know about this but if you have ever put yourself in the hurt locker, you understand the mental benefits of it. There is not much self-knowledge found outside of suffering!

Stay hard!

Failure is your best friend

"The bullshit saying that “failure is not an option” doesn’t apply to people who aren’t blessed with talent, ability, genetics, smarts, etc. Matter of fact, failure is often the first option for those people. So you must learn how to fail the right way.

I used the process of failing as my process of developing into the grittiest motherfucker. I learned I couldn’t stay down too long. I knew I couldn’t feel sorry for myself for too long. I knew I had to extract all information that was pertinent from within the failure. I knew I had to look at these situations in a totally different way than most people do.

Some people don’t understand the concept of learning how to fail. It is a concept you must learn to master well if you are dreaming outside of your capabilities. During this process, you will have to find more of yourself and, within that process, there will be tons of failure.

But, motherfucker, know this…. When you finally succeed it will be a feeling that most people will never be able to understand."

"If you are able to get up every morning, have no passion, no drive, no motivation, no shit, and still get up with that kind of fire, you will be successful in life. I can guarantee you that."

New interview with David Goggins.

“When you’re exhausted, weak, and tired and everyone around you looks just as bad as you or even worse – that’s the perfect time for you to make a statement.  You let everyone around you know that when their life ends, that’s when yours begins.”

"You and you alone are the only one who can get you out of your darkness."

“Nobody cares what you did yesterday. What have you done today to better yourself?”

“Tell yourself the truth! That you’ve wasted enough time, and that you have other dreams that will take courage to realize, so you don’t die a f*cking pussy.”

“If they dislike you, make them dislike you even more by being the best!”
