1
You don't want it.
2
And that's the harsh reality.
3
I can't give you shit.
4
You can't give him shit.
5
This is your new life.
6
Take it or leave it.
7
There's no happiness about it.
8
There's no peace behind it.
9
It sucks.
10
And I sat there and said, this is my life.
11
I said, this is my life.
12
You are exactly who the fuck.
13
This is it.
14
It's in our heads saying, you know what, man?
15
dude you're not you're not doing shit you're not you're not amount yeah I mean
16
and it's not putting yourself down people take this the wrong
17
way in this new society I'm not saying to put yourself down I'm saying listen to the truth
18
so in that restaurant I quit my job left my canister in
19
that restaurant my spray canister got back in my eco lab truck
20
and I went home
21
and I started working out like somebody I was I became the most obsessed person on the planet earth
22
and I was basically I had to invent a guy
23
that didn't exist we all have this voice it's the right
24
or wrong voice and a lot of times
25
that voice guides us into comfort and my voice guided me into comfort a lot
26
but I had This other voice I heard my whole life saying, hey, motherfucker, what are you doing?
27
No, man, we got to go over here.
28
We got to go over here to that rock pile over in the fucking corner where nobody's at.
29
The truth isn't in the 20%.
30
The truth is in this other part of your brain saying, look, man, you're wasting a bunch of percentage here.
31
We have 80 more percent that we're not tapping into because in this other 80% is suffering,
32
pain, failure, failure.
33
failure self-doubt darkness and Then a whole bunch of light
34
But to get to this light you got to go through all of this shit
35
Who at 297 who can't fucking swim that great who's scary the fucking water?
36
We have the fucking balls
37
They're the balls to fucking man up quit a job
38
and go and it put everything on himself
39
So it's how I start talking to myself
40
and put myself in a whole different category And that would fuel me the next day.
41
And I just kept using that as fuel and fuel.
42
No one would do this shit.
43
No one would do this shit.
44
You're the baddest motherfucker around.
45
You're the baddest motherfucker ever lived.
46
We suffer.
47
We suffer every day.
48
It's what we do.
49
We do stuff that sucks every day.
50
So then when the suck stuff comes, you're ready for it.
51
What is making you a quitter?
52
What is making you a weak man?
53
What is making you afraid?
54
And so that's why I kept on quitting and going back to start or not knowing how to get through hard times.
55
I said, okay, we can't quit.
56
We gotta figure out why you are this pussy.
57
The voice in my head said, you know what, man?
58
You're gonna die never even trying to reach your full potential.
59
And how's that gonna feel?
60
It's okay.
61
It's okay.
62
It's not okay.
63
It isn't and I and I get it society's changing
64
and we love to feel wanted and loved trust me that's all important it is
65
but you have to have the truth from people hey you're
66
not working your butt off hard enough you're not trying hard enough we all think we're trying hard
67
but what are you gauging that off of it's a brutal journey every fucking day
68
and everybody's what are you happy
69
if anybody knows my life story i'll try to give you
70
a just a snippet of it where i'm at today is
71
in front of joe rogan telling you my life to get
72
through where i became to get through where i'm at now there's nothing
73
but pride i have for myself that i can't really i can't really show people
74
because i have this face i have this face
75
that they see like are you happy what's wrong with you i'm driven i'm obsessed and that's what you see
76
Can't dissect anything in a normal environment.
77
You can't dissect anything in 72 degree weather
78
You must put it in the fucking freezer
79
and freeze the fuck out of it And then you dissect it dissect it when it's miserable
80
Dissect the brain when all this thinking about I need to get out of here, man I want to get out of the fucking freezer open the door and you said nah
81
Five more seconds man five more seconds in the freezer and that's when you start to pick that brain apart
82
And that's what all this stuff did to me.
83
I kept on putting myself back into the freezer or the fire and Beating the shit out of myself
84
mentally and physically
85
That's why people got understand what is in us We have no idea until we start trying hard
86
and I mean really trying hard where you're obsessed with hey This is my new norm.
87
My new norm is that wow.
88
This isn't always fun.
89
It's not always meant to be fun
90
You have to be open-minded to the possibilities that I can do this
91
Once you shut your mind down to the possibility that it can be achieved is no way can happen
92
So that's why my my eyes and my body light up about things
93
because I know that if you're in a fight you have to attack
94
You have to keep attacking The enemy has to know he is not going to give up.
95
You must break the soul of whatever the fuck is in front of you That's what I realized.
96
I was never breaking the soul of anything in front of me
97
So that's why I came up with the thing called taking
98
souls in my book I started to devise ways to break
99
a soul of a human being of an object of whatever's in front of me
100
If you keep on attacking something nothing wants to stand in front of anything That is relentless
101
nothing And I started realizing through this through this process
102
That the fucking mind is what you created And I started opening different doors that I didn't think were even there.
103
They didn't think even existed.
104
And the more doors opened up, the more I started realizing that my potential is damn near endless.
105
And it changed my whole mindset.
106
So I went from David Goggins and I created Goggins.
107
And now it's done.
108
And now it's going back to the lab.
109
So now I go back,
110
go back to firefighting, go back to finding another level of David Goggins that's done in quiet areas
111
and finding more of myself, finding these spaces that haven't discovered yet in my mind.
112
And I really love that about life.
113
I love mastering self.
114
So it's funny, human beings wanna show you the best side and they wanna hide the worst side.
115
For me, I'm gonna teach you how to be vulnerable.
116
that's the only way you fix yourself you don't fix yourself by coming out here
117
and me selling you some fucking books that's why i don't
118
have them i forgot them i'm glad people got something from the book i want you to learn
119
that the only way you grow is how to look at yourself
120
and say okay like i did table longer than this what
121
the fuck i have to do to get somewhere you have to build a person
122
that can withstand the pressures of whatever they're going to be dealing with in life.
123
And we don't do that.
124
I'm not trying to send a message of run 200 miles, be the best motherfucker in the world, but be tough.
125
You better have a part about you that's tough, a part about you that can break down situations and get better
126
and break down situations very quickly within some trauma in your life, some devastation in your life, because it's going to come.
127
The devastation, the trauma is going to come, and you can't allow that to become a Jersey barrier.
128
Yeah, I love playing basketball.
129
I left that out.
130
That's something I love to do.
131
I don't care about that.
132
That didn't make the fucking list, because the list that I had to live by was the very list
133
that was to get me at this table with you,
134
to talk to you, to the normal human beings was I once was about how you can get somewhere
135
and how it looks looks very ugly there's no fucking passion
136
there's no fucking motivation there's no oh my god man I
137
fucking this is no it's every day of your life just doing I know where I came from
138
and it's amazing that where I came from that person could have died
139
that very fat lazy unfulfilled person and with inside
140
that person was this person talking to you it's very freaky to me
141
and a lot of us have these two people
142
that you have greatness way over here
143
but you decide to live in this space over here
144
because between greatness or between this space here in greatness there's a lot of fucking work there's
145
so much space to fill in with work
146
and we just say fuck it i'll just stay over here
147
in this space i put myself there at 297 not even able to do anything
148
that these great men were doing i said man
149
if i could feel that that would change my life
150
if i could just feel that one it lasts for one second you get that that certificate, you walk across the stage, and what's next?
151
But I didn't know that then.
152
My mind was then, I thought I'd live in that moment forever.
153
So I said, wow, man, if I could just feel like that.
154
Being ashamed is one of the biggest things that kill people nowadays.
155
In their minds, kill them for moving forward.
156
I'm ashamed of myself.
157
Don't ever be ashamed of anything you've done in your life.
158
Face it, fix it, make it better.
159
we are humans but then again if you always think
160
that we're humans you will always just be a human
161
and always make the same fucking mistakes a lot of people
162
when you die they figure out why you died they figure out how you died in the autopsy
163
but we never do a live autopsy to figure out why we're dying
164
while we are alive and i was dying i was living every day but i was really dead
165
And so I figured it out
166
Because when you put yourself in the sewer like I was in and please if someone saved me come out and
167
Announce it to the world.
168
There was no one There's no one man.
169
I got a fucking I've got it.
170
No one's gonna fucking come to help me No, one's gonna fucking come to help me.
171
It's fucking me against me period and So I had the man up
172
and I said the first thing I started doing is facing
173
every fucking fear I have every Every fucking day I wake up and I don't want to do some fucking shit, I'm like, okay, man, do you want to be a bitch today?
174
Do you want to feel like a little bitch?
175
Do you want to walk around all day knowing that you could but you didn't?
176
So it's performed without purpose.
177
It wasn't about going to Navy SEAL training.
178
It wasn't about being the 23rd guy in that chair.
179
I started realizing, man, just by going to war with myself every day
180
and putting these These challenges and these goals and these obstacles, these insurmountable obstacles.
181
So it wasn't about losing 106 pounds.
182
Me losing 5 pounds was an accomplishment.
183
You have to learn how to get up and do shit when you ain't got no fucking 5k, no 10k, nothing.
184
Nothing exists.
185
Your life fucking sucks.
186
You're in the fucking dungeon.
187
But guess what, motherfucker, I'm still going to get it.
188
Because when that time comes, because the time is going to come when
189
that purpose is there you'll be ready but most of us fucking aren't ready
190
because we don't know how to do without having the golden
191
carrot in front of us I had no coach had no
192
trainer had no money I know how to lose weight I
193
had no knowledge of what I was doing I was working I was just sacrificing
194
and then through that all these different tools started coming up but I would have never found these tools
195
if I didn't put myself in a very uncomfortable place.
196
We all look for toughness.
197
We all want it, but we look for it in a comfortable environment.
198
You will not find toughness in a comfortable environment.
199
Those of you who are listening to this, whoever hear this, you will not find it.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
