1
Something in you has to wake up and usually the only person that can wake it up is you.
2
How bad do you want this?
3
If it's as bad as you want to live or breathe or sleep, whatever the hell it may be, I can work with you.
4
But a lot of people, most people don't want it that badly.
5
Which is why they always ask the question, how did you get to where you are?
6
You know how to do it.
7
You know exactly how to be you or how to be me.
8
You don't want to do it.
9
There's no luck in this game, man.
10
It may be a little bit of luck, but the luck happens after you bust your ass and you put yourself in that lucky situation.
11
Luck doesn't happen.
12
You put yourself in that situation where luck might fucking happen.
13
And that's what people don't know.
14
But to get there, luck ain't gonna happen.
15
You have to put yourself in that situation, man.
16
It takes a lot of work.
17
I know why you go on Instagram.
18
I know why you...
19
Because you just have the time
20
you have the time because you don't want to put
21
that time into bettering oneself god i'm like i'm missing something yeah because it's about 75 of you is still in there
22
still chained up you have no idea how great you really are because you are using such minimal
23
minimal of what you have get back to work
24
it's time to get back to work stop hearing yourself talk
25
get off the podcast don't be on social media too much
26
cut out all the fucking noise get back to the fucking mental lab guess what happens
27
that alarm clock goes off at 4am it's a train
28
i don't want to be a seal today i don't want to be whatever today
29
i'll start tomorrow
30
and that's the usual pattern of people's lives until you really want to do something
31
you always get be a talker
32
you always get run your fucking a lot of times i'll be in 200 mile run
33
or something like that and I'm all jacked up.
34
Body's broken, mind's broken, spirit's broken.
35
I started to say what if I can pull this off?
36
When I first walked into the Navy student recruiter's office he looked at me
37
and said there's only been 35 African Americans in 70 years making through.
38
You know I said to myself what if I can be the 36th?
39
It's the what if I can pull off a fucking miracle?
40
What if I can become someone that no one thinks I can be?
41
And just me talking about that, I have the hair going up on my arms.
42
Because it makes me just like, what if I have this fire that I'm going to be somebody?
43
And it has to be there, because on all those bad days, on all those days you don't want to do shit,
44
you have to be your own motivator, your own coach, your own trainer, your own everything.
45
I wanted to be the guy that people looked at, I don't care if you liked me or didn't like, I don't care.
46
But they said, this motherfucker is going to keep coming after whatever the fuck is in front of him.
47
I wanted that.
48
I wanted that.
49
I wanted that.
50
Worse than anything in the world.
51
I wanted to feel something besides defeat.
52
I wanted to just go to distance.
53
And that going to distance pushed me to a point of where now I go way past the distance.
54
You're missing the story, man.
55
Am I happy?
56
What the fuck do you think?
57
Don't miss it.
58
Don't misunderstand the passion in which I speak for not being intensely happy
59
Happiest person in the world
60
But I'm not done
61
Fuck that When the alarm goes off in the morning
62
You have to wake up.
63
Don't wake up.
64
Don't worry about that
65
When you're in school, you know what?
66
Fuck that man.
67
It's too hard to study.
68
So don't study
69
You know what?
70
Don't eat healthy because you don't have to.
71
So guess what?
72
But when you fail, don't blame your mom, don't blame your dad, don't blame teachers.
73
One person you have to blame is yourself.
74
I'm tired of feeling the way I feel every day.
75
I'm tired of how I feel.
76
I'm tired of lying to myself, lying to people, just being some piece of shit.
77
And I always knew in the back of my mind I could be something special.
78
But I knew the work it was going to take was going to kill me.
79
I was afraid of that.
80
I was afraid of the brutality and the suffering I was gonna have to endure
81
but I knew I knew I could do something
82
but I'm like I ain't trying to do
83
that kind of work man
84
I was not trying to do this I chose the path of the easy way of least resistance.
85
Sometimes life can really hijack your fucking mind when
86
that happens to you you're all fucked up your goals your ambitions everything is out the fucking window in life
87
we all go through different things sometimes your Your girlfriend or boyfriend breaks up with you, guess what?
88
Get the fuck over it.
89
They no longer want you.
90
Maybe you fell a test in school, you worked your ass off.
91
Guess what?
92
You failed the fucking test.
93
Get over it.
94
Move past it.
95
Learn to not let life hijack your brain.
96
At work, you've been working your ass off for that new promotion.
97
You don't fucking get it.
98
Someone else does.
99
Maybe they kiss better ass than you do.
100
Guess what?
101
Get over it.
102
Life will hijack your mind if you let it.
103
Don't allow all these things to make you a lesser person.
104
You must own your mind.
105
Don't let life own yours.
106
Get after it.
107
Stay hard.
108
The problem is you.
109
And you don't want to fix it.
110
But don't be mad.
111
When you're laying there in your fucking bed and you're in the fucking hospital and you're 70, 80, 90 years old and you're thinking,
112
man, I feel like I didn't fucking do something.
113
Because you did.
114
You didn't do it.
115
You didn't do shit.
116
Man live the great life man, but you always get for him
117
You're honestly that's not me trying to be some after -school special shit.
118
You really are bitch
119
Real men ain't doing it.
120
We probably don't care about that gossipy bullshit get to work man
121
You gotta fucking save yourself my friend you don't need talent
122
You're probably underachiever you're probably somebody who doesn't want to do anything with your life you have to want it
123
you have to want to be better a lot of times these fights
124
and these battles you gotta be your own fucking coach
125
you gotta be your own motivator your mind takes control of you you have to say fuck
126
you i run this motherfucker well some of you read
127
that i think about when it's hot outside that it's sunny
128
and 70 well it's fucking not today it's the reality it's about 90 degrees 100 % humidity
129
but who gives a shit
130
that being said september 3rd i have to have my book turned in
131
and what i realized i'm reading this book a lot but i realized i wasn't born this motherfucker.
132
I made him.
133
At the bottom of insecurities, fear, self -doubt, lies, was me buried in the fucking fetal position.
134
How I got out of that was recognizing it, being honest with it, being truthful with it, and then fixing it.
135
We like to live on social media with lies about ourselves, how great we are.
136
Get to the source and fix the problem.
137
It's just life.
138
I wake up while it still sucks it's just life you don't sit back
139
and like oh my god like I have days I don't want to do
140
but I know I'm going to do it I know from years of just doing it
141
and guess what I do all this alone yeah
142
it was just alone I ain't got nobody
143
that's where the that's where the shit comes from I ain't got nobody to push to this level that's my darkness
144
That's why I laugh at these motherfuckers.
145
You think they fucking know me?
146
You think you know me coming to my dungeon?
147
It's a lonely dungeon because you don't want to do this shit alone every day.
148
Train this world by yourself?
149
Come on, man.
150
And this is it.
151
You see me breathing heavy?
152
Right.
153
Exactly.
154
So imagine the level I go to.
155
I've trained 99 % of my life alone.
156
No one pat me on the back.
157
I did all of the work alone.
158
No one can motivate me.
159
I have a resume full of fucking motivation.
160
That whenever I'm down, I'm like, oh, hang on, motherfucker.
161
Oh, you know.
162
You know the truth.
163
You know the truth.
164
You know the darkness of the fucking dungeons and the fucking demons that fly.
165
You know.
166
And then from there, it's like, okay.
167
You were there.
168
You know this.
169
There was no one there to pick up the rucksack, to pick up the boat, to pick up the log, to go in there.
170
It was you.
171
It was you there was no pat on the fucking back at 300 at 275 at 250 at 220 no
172
that was you so those things that come out of me
173
that extract from me in the darkness people are looking for
174
that pat on the back where is it oh i don't need
175
it you're alone you're alone you may have a shrink
176
you're going to you may have a best friend you're going to
177
but there's 24 hours in the day where you're alone in this brain
178
and your brain is talking to you in all kind of ways
179
and it wants to control you pull you in these different pockets
180
if you can't control your own brain
181
and your brain controls you you're fucked you got to tell your brain where you want to go
182
and how you want to go and how you want to get there
183
you got to control it if not it's over
184
and every day the same answer came back to me do you want to be on your deathbed knowing
185
that you could but you didn't.
186
So I have a question for you all, but only one person can answer it.
187
What is your biggest fear?
188
Why are you paralyzed?
189
What makes you nervous to just go out there and just be who you are and do what you have to do?
190
And my biggest fear honestly was, let's say this, let's say, I don't care if you believe in God or not.
191
I don't care.
192
So let's just play a game with me.
193
Let's say, your God.
194
And we have a big fucking long line of people.
195
And I made to heaven.
196
75 years old.
197
I'm 300 pounds.
198
I made to heaven.
199
I worked for Ecolab my entire life, praying for cockroaches.
200
That's what I did.
201
But I'm dead.
202
I'm in heaven now.
203
And you are at, you're judging us all now.
204
So we're in line.
205
We're all sitting there in line.
206
You have Adam Brown.
207
He has a big board up and you're talking to Adam Brown about his life.
208
And you rip it down and I'm next in line.
209
David Goggins.
210
I see my name.
211
I see all this shit and God goes, hey, you say, read this, man.
212
And I'm reading this list and I'm seeing 182 pounds,
213
Navy SEAL, Ranger School, motivational speaker, changing lives.
214
Okay, man, pull up record, all this shit.
215
And I'm like, that's not me, man.
216
And God looks at me and says, that's who you were supposed to be.
217
That's the fear.
218
The fear is never reaching your potential.
219
That's it.
220
That always falling short, always quitting before you're done, always procrastinating, always not doing the right thing
221
and then one day you're an old man yep
222
and you look back oh god i could have been great yep
223
it could have been great i never forget one time i was running by a graveyard
224
and i was fucking just trying to become i was fat
225
and i ran by a graveyard and i looked out there
226
and i have all these epiphanies man
227
i have all these fucking moments of like of it's crazy man of this thought
228
i'm always by myself i'm always deep fucking thought about how be better
229
now look out there i'm like man i wonder how many of you in there
230
just are so upset with how you lived your life
231
and just regret how you lived it i'm running a 300 pound man thinking man don't die like this bro
232
so another year is coming gone
233
and a lot of us are the same place we were last year what the are you waiting on
234
We sleep one third of our fucking lives and we think we can take fucking days off.
235
We think we have the right to sit back
236
and give ourselves fucking options on which way we're going to go in life.
237
Am I going to run today?
238
Am I going to work out today while it's Christmas?
239
It's New Year's.
240
It's my birthday.
241
Do you think time gives a fuck that it's Christmas, that it's New Year's, that it's your birthday?
242
you give me some too many fucking options let me tell you one thing time is running out
243
you keep on sitting around wondering what the fuck you want to do you're just gonna run out of time
244
so make sure you do one thing stop following the fucking crowd they may take time off
245
but you can't afford to stay hard i had two options to either be
246
that 300 pound guy who sprayed for cockroaches
247
and made a thousand dollars a month and at 24 years old knowing
248
when I'm 50 fucking years old I can reflect on this
249
and think about what guy I never became
250
or I can totally just sack it up and fail and fail
251
and fail until I succeed fuck you I'm gonna fail
252
I'm gonna fucking fail I'm gonna fucking fail I'm gonna fucking fail and I will succeed I didn't teach myself victory first.
253
I taught myself failure.
254
I taught myself how to fail.
255
And people go, that's so depressing. Is it?
256
When you're 300 pounds and you can't read and write and you're fucked up,
257
you know how many times you're going to fucking fail on that process?
258
So if you don't know how to fail, there is no victory.
259
You better teach yourself how to fail first.
260
Because if you sit in failure for too long you will never come out of it
261
so the first part of my success
262
was learning how to fail properly
263
and then eventually i started getting a few victories you may have failed miserably yesterday
264
but you come to work like you're like man
265
you just lost everything how the hell are you just fucking damn motivated because this is what it takes
266
this is what the fuck it takes
267
and you got to get it from wherever you can whether you make up this illusion of your life
268
or this false reality
269
that gets you motivated whatever gets you motivated
270
it's got to be here at the tip of your brain at all times
271
because in those dark moments you got it you got to pull it out okay i failed
272
but i was right there what did i miss what the fuck did i miss oh
273
that's what i fucking missed i taught myself how to fail i'm always skirting on
274
that like limit of like okay i'm there i'm there i'm there to succeed you must fail in failure
275
and in suffering all the answers are in there all the answers to all the test questions the test is your life
276
Motherfucker, the purpose is you.
277
We forget that.
278
Every fucking day I wake up, and I don't want to do some fucking shit,
279
I'm like, okay, man, do you want to be a bitch today?
280
Do you want to feel like a little bitch?
281
Do you want to walk around all day knowing that you could, but you didn't?
282
It might be April where you are, and you're expecting nice weather and shit, but it's 20 degrees. So?
283
You might be somewhere where it's too fucking hot. So?
284
You might have sore legs, Sore back, sore shoulder.
285
So, the struggle is real.
286
It never gets any easier.
287
You gotta get harder.
288
I was out yesterday, getting after it.
289
At one of the best runs I've had in a long time.
290
PR'd that bitch.
291
So, no one cares what you did yesterday.
292
You don't even match what you're doing today.
293
Hey, those who take me literally, so I'm a cheerleader for those who want to be better,
294
not for those who want to stay the same.
295
Stay hard.
296
So I get an email from Bill.
297
Bill's a 30 -year -old who used to be real motivated.
298
And somehow he lost his motivation.
299
He went to the high and get it back.
300
Well, Bill, you suffer from what a lot of guys suffer from nowadays.
301
It's called chestnut syndrome.
302
As a boy, your fucking nuts fall.
303
But what happens in life is that we think they stay down there.
304
If you don't handle self -doubt, insecurities, fucking imperfections, jealousy, all these fucking things.
305
A lot of people to bully you, fuck you around.
306
Your nuts start to retract back up.
307
Insecurities end up here.
308
Self -doubt.
309
All this should be free to know up in your fucking chest.
310
End up with chestnut syndrome.
311
How you fix chestnut syndrome is you gotta man the fuck up.
312
Hit your fucking chest, send a signal to your fucking mind that you're gonna man the fuck up.
313
And then it fall back in your fucking sack.
314
Once it fall back in your sack, you sack it the fuck up.
315
Stay hard.
316
Trying to find your why is another way of procrastinating, taking fucking action.
317
So, the question does not end with why.
318
It starts with why.
319
Why the fuck don't you want to be in better shape?
320
Why the fuck don't you want to be a better fucking student?
321
Why don't you want to be more successful?
322
Maybe you can't find your why because you're lazy.
323
Maybe you can't find your why because you have zero fucking ambition.
324
Regardless, you need to go out here and find it.
325
Stay hard.
326
This is what it's all about.
327
That's what they lost.
328
Whippy can't run.
329
Give a fuck.
330
It was never about running.
331
Why do you think I run?
332
It's the worst thing.
333
I hate doing it more than anything.
334
Hence the willpower.
335
This isn't for the masses.
336
This is for those who want to leave normal behind.
337
Those who are in search of a new realm.
338
It's a lonely journey.
339
You're isolated.
340
Those who used to keep pace with you will fall off.
341
They'll see where their world ends and yours begins.
342
Your ability to suffer, endure, our work must be greater.
343
You must be willing to extend yourself to the limit with no guarantee of success.
344
every day you must ask yourself did i do enough stay home
345
so i just got through working out
346
and this guy goes hey god is you on
347
that winter arc shit like what the fuck is winter arc
348
he's like well people are like setting goals for the winter time like
349
working out more sleeping more just better habits and goal setting and shit like that I go, motherfucker, I want that 365 shit.
350
It's not an arc.
351
It's a fucking circle.
352
I've been on it for like 30 fucking years.
353
It's a circle that keeps going around and around and around.
354
Winter, spring, summer, fall.
355
Motherfucking winter, spring, summer, fall.
356
Have enough pride in your fucking self to not have this hacky shit to get motivated.
357
Love yourself enough to stay motivated.
358
360 fucking five fuck an arc do a circle stay hard.
359
Turn your feelings off when it comes down to you wanting to be better.
360
What that means is when that alarm clock goes off your feelings gotta go away if you want to achieve greatness.
361
and greatness is only achieved when your feelings about that kind of shit.
362
And let me say that kind of shit.
363
So for those soft people who may be listening to this, don't put words in my mouth.
364
I'm not talking about your fucking family and all that shit.
365
I'm talking about the grind.
366
The fucking grind.
367
Your feelings have to go away.
368
Sometimes you have to go beyond what you're feeling.
369
You know, okay, this hurts, that hurts.
370
You can just sit down and do nothing.
371
Or we can see how far we can push the shit above.
372
find greatness in yourself you're not gonna find it by looking in a book
373
or by even hearing me I may give you the spark
374
but you've got to go inside yourself to find it and
375
that means you gotta be quiet shut the fuck up go
376
in a room stop talking search your soul search your mind search your abilities
377
and you'll find it you're gonna be normal
378
so you just wanna be like everybody else that roams the world not knowing the power that's in them
379
being fine with being mediocre you wanna go back to who you were, huh, David?
380
I'm gonna find that take the day off, man, we'll get a pizza and shit,
381
watch the game we like that we love that feeling, why? cause you understand, man, we're good, bro we don't want that,
382
motherfuckers, like this hey, man, no, bro, get your fucking shit on, man Stop being a punk.
383
Tell yourself the truth.
384
If someone calls you fucking fat, they may be bullying you, but you might be fucking fat.
385
Someone calls you dumb, it's mean, but you might be fucking dumb.
386
It's life, man.
387
Take it for what it's worth and change it.
388
And that terrible feeling when someone does tell you that you're fat, you can use that as fuel. As fuel.
389
Period.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
