What does it take to be the TOUGHEST MAN ALIVE?  –Motivational Speech

Your brain is the most powerful weapon –Motivational Speech

The Most Eye Opening 10 Minutes of Your Life. Motivational Speech by The CEO of Navy Seal David Goggin.

Your brain is the most powerful weapon in the world. Once you put away your phones, and your computers, all that we have nowadays. Yeah, it’s great. We’re up to date.

But, your brain is the only thing you have when you're going through depression. 

When you're going through hard times .when you’re going through death.

You can’t Google that man .You’re alone. You may have a shrink you’re going to. You may have a best friend going to. But there are 24 hours in a day where you’re alone in this brain. And your brain is talking to you in all kinds of ways.  It wants to control you .and pull you in different pockets. 

If you can't control your own brain .and your brain controls you. You’re messed.

 You’ve got to tell your brain where you want to go. How you want to get there. You’ve got to control it.  If not, it's over.

What existed for me was, “okay man how am I going to make this work?” And all I knew back then was hard work. This only way anything gets accomplished, that’s all I heard back in those days.

You’ve got to work hard. I'm not getting how to.  I can't get this paragraph. I can't remember what the f*** is this paragraph. To pass this test get the military. Read it again. Still not getting it. Read it again. But if not getting it, write it out. And that’s how I started learning.

Okay well, I’ve got to write out everything I do. And then write out again, and write it out again. And guess what happened? I got it.

I can't swim. I’m a negative buoyant. Go back again. I can't swim. Go back again. Go back again. Go back again. I got it.

I realize if I keep going back going back and going back until this just becomes... your mind will say okay. “We’re gonna figure it out”

 Because he is not going to stop. It’s not like, I’m going to try one more time. No, it’s just like the alarm clock goes off? Boop. We’re going back.

I can't read right, we‘re going back.  I gave myself no way out. And my mind realizes that. “Mind said okay. We’re going to adapt and overcome now”.

Like, a lot of people say, Try Hard. Your mind knows man.

Mind knows this guy is a fake man. This guy is lying. There’s no truth behind it .when I was in Navy SEAL training. 

People would go, how were you there for 18 months? The program was only six months long. You were in 3 hell weeks in one year.  No one’s ever done that.  How did you do that? I talked about the new norm. When I lived in a 7 Dollar month place. Where I was growing up for a short period. I loved it. I did not know any different.  That was my norm.

Once we moved out of that place. We moved to 236 Dollars a Month's Place. I never want to go back to that little piece of... But if you go back to a 7$ a month place. And you realize, this is where I live. This is all I’ve got. Your mind says, roger that. This is home.

So now when I was going through Navy training for 18 months. And going back to all the hard parts Over and over again.  I told myself, after the first time. I knew it could be a long journey there. My body was breaking down .it was just how it was going on. I said you know what, this is my new norm. 

So my mind said, “It’s like going to work. Like, you go to work, you put your suit and tie on. I go into suffering every day. Every day of suffering. Duct taping my feet up .stress fractures. Shin splints. Being broken.  This is my new norm”.

And your mind says

If we’re not broken. This isn’t normal. We’ve got to be broken. 

So then your mind starts to get tougher and tougher. People said, how did you run on broken feet? Broken shins.  My mind knew this is how we operate. We’re in Navy seal training.  This is what we are. I became Hell. And that became my new norm. 

I gave myself no way out. 

There was nothing outside these walls of Hell. Nothing.  I became a love, God. But for a short period, I became the devil. Because that was Hell.  I became the boss. Over the owner .the CEO of Navy seal training.  That was my mindset. And that's how you get through things. You put yourself, you immerse yourself in wherever it is. And you become that .and you give yourself no way out. When I was 297 pounds .and I was fat as hell trying to be a Navy seal.  The scariest thing in the world to me even to this day was that could have been the rest of my life. 

I thought then I was trying hard.  That's the scariest thing in the world. I thought then 297 pounds, working for Ecolab’s. Spraying for cockroaches, making $1000 a month.  I thought that was me at my 100% potential.  Come to find out.  A few years later. I wasn’t anywhere near that Hundred and 6 pounds less.

Graduate Navy seal training. I went on to do all these other things.  Looking back on that.  That was me trying hard.  That's what people gotta understand .what is in us…  We have no idea until we start trying hard. And I mean really trying hard. Where you’re obsessed with, hey this is my new norm.

 My new norm is that wow, this isn’t always fun. It’s not always meant to be fun.

And that’s when you know you're trying hard.  People hear my story and they think this guy is sadistic. I realize how the brain works. I figured out how the brain works. I’m a scared kid. And that’s what gives me so much power.  I had no foundation .and I built this off of just researching the mind. 

The feeling you get is basically invincibility.

You realized that you can't do it all the time. When you need to do it, I know I can go to a place. That I can live in.  And when you know that you can run on broken legs. And you can do certain things that a lot of people can do .but they're not willing to do.

 This power, the sympathetic nervous system of fight or fight in your fighting.  It gives you this charge of energy .of when you're sitting there at 3:30- 4 o'clock in the morning .and you’re duct-taping your feet up. Because they’re broken. And you're doing it by yourself. you're going through arguably one of the hardest training in the world.

These guys, most of them are healthy. And you’re going through it broken. You are already at a disadvantage but you‘re still there. You can feed into that. And tap into that for a lot of power. But if you look at it, a wall I’m a broken man.  I’m not going to make it. But if you look at it as, I’m broken and I’m still here.

I’m fighting. I’m going to find a way to get through this. because I have no other place to go.  It gives you a lot of power .when things start to suck really badly. My brain and a lot of people's brains, they don’t go to your dad beating you up. Your brain says we’ve got to get Out of here. This is miserable.so anger goes away.

  A lot of times when you're suffering because your brain says we’ve got to run. We got to go. So that anger is not popping up .saying, oh I’m going to show them. I’m going to show those people. No this has to be a much deeper and when I say deeper .it has to be down to mineral. “Mineral soil”.is it be down to that nice minimal soil where nothing can burn .you can't burn dirt .so has to be down that low.  That literally is something in you, that's at the core of your soul.

But you wouldn’t find it unless you spend a lot of time. With you want to be in life.

 I can't get that to you.  You can't get it to somebody. When you find your true passion in life.  My passion for me I want to serve my country. I cared about it.  I want to be someone that I'm proud of. 

I want to look at myself in the mirror because I was so disappointed .that accountability mirror I talk about.  I was so disappointed in what I saw every day.  I want everybody to love David Goggin’s and a lot of people did. I didn’t love myself. But I knew, a lot of us want to find peace first.

 Some people say, you always talk about suffering and pain. I’m at peace right now because I went through that. You don’t find peace first. If you do, merry Christmas. More power to you.

I found peace on the opposite end of finding myself.

And no one really finds themself without going through trials, tribulations, suffering, accountability.

And accountability is suffering

Being accountable every day for doing right for yourself, for the people next to you .it’s miserable. It’s hard. So, you know even the smallest details.
