I believe that most human beings are
only living at about 40% of their
capability the mind has a governor like
a car if you’re driving a car and the
car has a governor on it the car may say
hundred thirty miles an hour but the
governor set 491 once that governor sets
in you get the 91 that car starts doing
this the car wants to go the car wants
to go but the deafening factory said I’m
we’re not going past 91 we have a
factory a nice governor in our brain and
it’s the survival mechanism it protects
us from pain and suffering the second we
fill that shit our mind says no no this
isn’t fun we should back off we should
sit down find something more comfortable
and there’s something about the mind the
mind has the tactical advantage over you
at all times at all times of your life
the mind has a tactical advantage over
you why is that it knows what you’re
afraid of it knows your insecurities it
knows your deep dark lies and it starts
to push you away from that shit it
pushes you in a direction that is
comfortable the mind controls everything
so what I realized was that when I was
growing up and I was 300 pounds and I
got all fat and I got all insecure I
realized that my mind kept taking me in
this direction when things got
uncomfortable for me when I was facing
my insecurities I was facing my fears my
mind said oh no we have the tactical
advantage we just get you separate you
from this feeling this feeling over your
life’s all about feelings we want the
happy feeling we don’t want that feeling
if this sucks why am I here and you
don’t have any choice oh you can’t
answer those questions so you leave I
started realizing that if in that moment
you can answer those tough questions
and you are now in charge of your brain
versus your brain ruling you that’s
where all that stuff comes from so so so
the 40% rule is all of that you get to
40% your brain says we’re done let’s
roll man this is starting to get painful
this is uncomfortable so you sit down
you have to figure out ways and
everybody’s different that’s how the
book
it talks about like we all have these
things about you know five steps to this
and in four steps to this it’s it’s not
more than that that’s all bullshit it’s
it’s a practice that you have to it’s a
habit so if you know that 40 percent I’m
still you know I’m feeling pain at 40
percent feeling pain that’s where the 40
percent rule kicks in now it starts okay
I’m feeling pain my mind’s saying all
this shit to me it’s saying get out of
here run flee the fight-or-flight kicks
in okay we’re gonna we’re not good
enough it starts telling you all these
things you start to believe it because
the mind controls all this is the time
when you have to gain control back of
your mind it’s okay let me see if I can
go 45 percent and once you start giving
yourself more and more hope and start
realizing okay
the mind starts to be okay what are you
doing we’re supposed to be going right
and you’re going left you start then
controlling your mind start finding more
in you know in yourself and it goes from
40% to a lot further than that but
that’s the start of it though get to get
to the spot where your mind is saying
stop wherever that is get there first
and then that’s when that shit starts to
work for you you got to control yourself
in that moment so a lot of people can
live with themselves that’s the first
day a lot of people could live with
themselves look in the mirror and say
I’m okay with being afraid I’m okay with
going on this easy highway over here the
easy highway has all these consigns and
shit directions how to get somewhere and
you have to first be uncomfortable with
how you feel about yourself with that
voice that allow most like to run away
from we all have it
we all have that voice that say hey man
you know you’re you’re kind of wimping
out right now you kind of being a little
punk right now but I would say okay
that’s okay
it’s okay to tell his little white lies
to ourselves so he first have to face
the real you the real me is David
Goggins to real me is a guy looking at
you right now saying I don’t want to be
on this show right now because I used to
stutter as a kid and I’m afraid of that
I’m afraid that here in a second I’m
gonna start stammering a stutter and the
whole world’s gonna know they have all
these issues but that’s when I see right
now okay Goggins you got to go on the
show
that’s Goggins Goggins is saying okay
david Goggins you’re a punk
life made you this way we can’t live
like this we can’t live in fear we can’t
live in judgment we can’t be afraid of
with the people right now looking at me
saying about me we cannot be afraid of
that
that’s Goggins Goggins saying all of you
who don’t like me who don’t want it in
that person then it comes in but you
have to be David Goggin to say man I’m
afraid of this I’m fucked up here life
made me this way here I stutter I have
these issues with reading and writing in
and I’m fat and I’m insecure you have to
face that in that dark room in that dark
room is who you are but in that dark
room is where you have to create another
human being that walks out of that dark
room to face who you are that’s the only
way you’re gonna get over all those
things and people don’t want to do that
they want to say oh don’t call yourself
fat don’t call yourself dumb if you’re
not real and raw with who the you are
nothing’s gonna change in this nice new
world that we live in we want to hear
you’re just a little big no man you
might be fat and it’s okay to hear that
from yourself in familiar bells so
that’s where it started at and it’s raw
it gets ugly sometimes with me in that
mirror but I’m also proud of myself to
be able to tell myself that and then fix
what’s in that mirror so the first thing
about it is once you realize it and you
have to realize you got to call yourself
out addressing that is very small it’s
like it doesn’t go from like one morning
on this way next when I wake up and
presto
you know five steps to greatness no it
ain’t that brother you read my book this
is hard work as every day like right now
I had to be honest with you man I’m even
shaking right now being on this show I’m
a big time introvert how you address it
is you face it you face it every day you
face it every single day of your life
where you say okay like if you’re fat
and these lose weight
patience is patience in this fact of
accepting who you are right now I’m fat
I don’t like myself accepting the fact
if you lose three or four pounds that’s
a huge accomplishment you have to live
in your own world you cannot judge
yourself that’s why social media always
things are horrible you can’t judge
yourself off of the so-called
competition that we have made up in our
mind the things that how people look how
people act us more someone is this is a
race that you run completely alone a lot
of folks talk so much shit about hey I’m
gonna change your life I’m gonna do
someone do that are you accountable for
what you’re doing
are you accountable and I mean to the
tee for what you’re saying I am and
that’s where it started started with
that total total accountability of let’s
not lie today let’s tell people the
truth about who you are and when you can
get on and tell us someone like I’m
doing right now exactly how deep you are
that’s the goal in life to put your life
on a billboard on the busiest road in
the busiest Highway in the world and say
this is how I used to be take it or leave it
only living at about 40% of their
capability the mind has a governor like
a car if you’re driving a car and the
