The fact that U.S. Navy SEALs endure very rigorous training before entering the field is common knowledge, but just what happens at those facilities is less often discussed. In this video, former SEALs Brent Gleeson, David Goggins, and Eric Greitens (as well as authors Jesse Itzler and Jamie Wheal) talk about how the 18-month program is designed to build elite, disciplined operatives with immense mental toughness and resilience.
Wheal dives into the cutting-edge technology and science that the navy uses to prepare these individuals. Itzler shares his experience meeting and briefly living with Goggins (who was also an Army Ranger) and the things he learned about pushing past perceived limits.
Goggins dives into why you should leave your comfort zone, introduces the 40 percent rule, and explains why the biggest battle we all face is the one in our own minds. "Usually whatever's in front of you isn't as big as you make it out to be," says the SEAL turned motivational speaker. "We start to make these very small things enormous because we allow our minds to take control and go away from us. We have to regain control of our mind."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
BRENT GLEESON: SEAL training is 18 months long. We talk about discipline, we talk about trust, accountability, mental fortitude. Very, very high attrition rate. For my class only about 10 percent ultimately graduated of the original class. But the first six months of that 18 month training pipeline is called BUDS, which stands for Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL. And the first three weeks of BUDS are leading up the Hell Week. And those three weeks are no joke either. They're just as bad as Hell Week, but you get to sleep a couple of hours a night. But then Hell Week is where you're going to weed out the rest of your class. By the end of Hell Week 80 percent of your class is gone. Hell Week starts on a Sunday, ends on a Friday afternoon, and the great thing about that Sunday is the class will report to one of the main classrooms with only a couple required items in their possession and we don't allow them to know when Hell Week will commence, when breakout starts. And it's pure chaos. Guys will quit minutes into breakout. And so the anguish, the anxiety is just killing you. It's a fascinating thing to watch. Not a fascinating thing to be a part of. So that afternoon our class leader, who's the highest ranking officer in the class, he read us - one of the things he did to motivate us was to read us the speech, the St. Crispin's Day speech from William Shakespeare's Henry V. And a great excerpt that many people know from that speech is, ""We few, we happy few, we band of brothers. For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.""
ERIC GREITENS: If there was a single question that you can ask someone to measure how resilient they're going to be, you ask them what are you responsible for. And what you find is that even in the most difficult situations when you look at stories of people who have been prisoners of war, for example. People who survive said I'm going to take control of my thoughts, or I'm going to take control of the way that I breathe. There are certain things even though my freedom has been taken away from me that my ability to eat where I live. All of these things have been taken away from me. I'm still going to control something. And when you focus on actually taking control of something and what happens is your circle of control begins to widen and people begin to see that even in the face of hardship and difficulty, there's a way for them to build power and live a purposeful life.
DAVID GOGGINS: People always ask me how do you build mental toughness. Mental toughness also has these classes out here. A class on mental toughness. Positive thinking, visualization, all these different techniques-mental toughness is a lifestyle. It's something that you live every single day of your life. When I was growing up I was a lazy kid. I was a lazy kid and everyone goes how did you get to where you're at today? How did you get to where you're running 200 miles at one time in 39 hours being so disciplined. It started off honestly with recognizing that my bedroom was dirty. My bed wasn't made. I lived a sloppy life. So I took very small increments in my life. I started making my bed. I started cleaning my room. I started doing things, coming outside of my lazy ways to become better. And through a period of time your brain doesn't like it, but it starts to realize this is a new way of thinking...

warrior LOL wears a wig ---
David Goggins has a mindset I've rarely seen. His ability to look past pain to achieve his goals is just incredible
100%....mindset is everything
EXACTLY 💪🏾
Is stupid to break your muscles and bones. I did that younger and recuperation time makes you lost a lot mentally and physically. Do you best but always with a certified trainer advice. And dont do that you may lost conciousness and even die. I have seriuos doubt that that fat black guy is the same as the one taking.
@@user-jw1tc4eo5e you say one could probably even die, see Goggins has a WARRIOR'S mentality, which means HE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT DEATH.
@@user-jw1tc4eo5e IT 100% is the same guy that is talking. Read Can't Hurt Me and then you'll get it.
A sign of David's mental fortitude, is his ability to have gone nearly 16 min without swearing in this video
100% truth!
Fr, compared to his regular videos, he sounds like one of those high school motivational speakers in this
I've heard him shout into my ear 2+ hours everday when I workout and it's a big setback when I hear him like this.
@@soethurain fame has changed him, man
He knows exactly when to cuss at the right moment. His cussing delivers the message 10 times better
Thanks everyone for putting this together.
"If you can discipline yourself to do the things you need to do whether you feel like it or not, your success is virtually guaranteed."
self discipline>motivation
I remember on military training, my mate can only do 10 push ups.. The instructor said that he can't leave until he do 200, he can take rest as long as he want.. He said it's impossible but the instructor encouraged him.. He ended up doing it in one hour..
still no warrior !
Every time I saw a drill sergeant I had to do 10 push ups they kept walking past me. Got the push up record
When Goggins said we are all going through a war in our heads. I felt that. Our subconscious mind really wants the best for us but consciously we choose not to do anything about it.
Best way to put it.
Not everyone can go to navy seal training but everyone can consciously create challenges in their own life to help them grow. The resistance of challenge is needed for you to develop inner strength and essentially conquer yourself.
Why can't everyone do it..they shiuld be able to..and why make it so hard
.life is already bloody hard enough...it's not bloody helpful or smart to make that harder..don't say it helps with life if it's so frustrating and discouraging and not motivating..

I love David's perspective. When the pain shows up, that's when the growth can happen. He mentioned once that when you really start to feel uncomfortable, that's when you find out who you really are. It's akin to the old Rocky scene, right? "It's not about how hard you can hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."
Rockt speech? = great.
A really good book is “The mans Search for Meaning” by Victor Frankl. Its a memoir of a psychologist that endures the Nazi camps. He talks about how men would cope and find meaning in their horrible existence. Just like the man in the vid said, the people who live/succeed seem to take control of the only thing they can, themselves.
This video made me feel very grateful to my father, deceased since 11 years ago. This is the mindset he has been teaching me since childhood but I only realized it somewhere in my twenties.
What drives me to keep running when I start feeling sore is that I know eventually I will hit a sweetspot where I am so tierd that I no longer will feel my legs, I just know Im moving forward. It is a very wierd out of body expirience, and you probably need some cardio training so you can achieve that without being unproductive, but its like finding ultimate peace. Everything just goes by and you feel not a thing, in a good way.
i don’t run much but i’ve noticed this feeling, i was going for a 10 minute mile on the treadmill and i was struggling up to the 4 minute mark until my breathing and step pattern just clicked and became one. suddenly i wasn’t struggling and i was just floating on the treadmill. breathing constantly in and out through my nose at a decently fast pace really helps with energy and keeping myself fuelled.
@@genxr1141 Yeah, its a crazy feeling
I’ve also felt this before I ran a 4 mile run in an hour and wanted to keep going but didn’t
@@Jaexrobbb I mean, its kinda scary because you have no idea where you got your legs so you might easily trip. Its just sucha crazy feeling that I dont think many people will feel unless they really push themselves to their true limit
I feel youm
Combine this mindset with self-compassion for tought moments and you will be invincible

So... in summary: be disciplined and consistent and stick to a time-tested set of principles?
I think discipline is a fallacy. That word subscribes to the idea that one has to do 'good' things to have certain things in life. I think building habits is crucial, as the video says do uncomfortable things on regular basis to help your brain growth, friction in life trains you to start thinking responsibly. We will make mistakes, we will make bad decisions but ultimately we will train ourselves to get in a habit to making the right one that is good for us.
Nah, what you do is just details. The mindset shift is the start: suck it up buttercup. Life has suffering, power comes from choosing to face it.

How’s the progress going mate
How’s your life going so far bud?
Life update bro
i was going for a pb on my situps the other day and at 50 it burns, but i just kept pushing and achived 300. Im only 16 and im gonna give it my all to be a seal someday hopefully, but the body is capable of alot more than you would think. the hard part is having the mental strength to push. im trying to learn it
That is awesome! I like your drive and determination! Are you following any type of training program?
@@optimalreadiness no formal program no, just daily running and body weight exercises
Fantastic brother, go get it!
Keep doing what you’re doing . And positive you’re mental strength will get better. Good Luck Uk 🇬🇧
@@thedrone3377 Right on, bro! Have you run into issues with injuries or becoming stagnant? You could be leaving gains on the table by not following a periodized program.
I appreciate David Goggins explaining how he broke his laziness. And I like the other guy intake on marriage just like a business needing 100% from both parties not 50/50....then he goes on further...
Man does about 16 pullups. He is toast. Can barely lift his arms. That's all David, I cannot do even one more pullup. David then says "Ok we're not leaving here until you do 100 more." I felt that.
This was right on time for me ! Discipline,Consistency,And Focus was written on the front of my locker at work . Now retired , it’s even more important than ever .
On one hand, I appreciate many of the things said here. Having such a mindset is a thing that can get you past goals you didn't think you'd ever pass. A certain amount of this is very helpful.
With that said, there are times and places to switch on that mindset, to use it effectively. Running until you damage your kidneys and break small bones in your feet is harmful in more ways than physical. It sounds like a problem.
Mental toughness is a poweful thing, and a great thing to cultivate, but there is also something to be said for rationality, for not self-destructing for no good reason, so you can "live to fight another day" as they say.
While I think we could use more mental toughness, more discomfort in our daily lives to keep us growing, there is a point past which there are fast diminishing returns.
For example, I could probably technically push through more pushups than I think I can on an average day, until I can't lift my arms. I could run a marathon until I damage my kidneys, for no real reason; not for survival, just to prove to someone else how tough I am to push through the pain.
Or, I could train in a way that pushes my limits and builds that same mental toughness, and not damage what I came to build up, slowing my progress toward the goal. It won't be as flashy as breaking myself to prove it to everyone else, so I won't end up bragging about it anywhere, but I'll have the same fortitude.
3:33 “I still hate it.”
The first question I would ask is why you want to develop a warrior mindset. What does that mean to you? What is a warrior? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term “warrior” comes from Middle English: “from Old Northern French werreior, variant of Old French guerreior, from guerreier ‘make war’, from guerre ‘war’.” A warrior was one engaged in a war. In more modern times, a warrior is seen as someone who fights, but usually for a non-physical cause such as an ideology or philosophy. For example, I am a warrior for the Second Amendment but that doesn’t mean I’m engaged in physical combat. It’s more of a mental state.
Yes that’s what it is the fighting mindset to never quit and to die fighting
We are all at war with ourselves are we not? Who better to face war than a warrior
Gotta respect SEAL training. Only the best of the best. Puts you through the worst of conditions, wrench the weakness out of the individual if they’re strong enough. Wish I can undergo this training just to see where I stack up.
Most people can achieve good results when they make efforts involving physical body: sports, body building, being a seal... and especially you have no obligations to others.
The real challenge comes when you have to work to support your family, when you have to pay salaries, when you are alone to light the right path..., pay your house mortgage, ....
May God bless you more.
May God bless all of you more.
One help with that, and to avoid the stress of worry, could be to specialize and do one part of your life really well.
Absolutely! Your head is on straight here but even with discipline, people need the right path to prevent spinning their wheels and wasting a lot of time and energy.
Planning out and efficient time utilization is the key.
goggins had obligations and family too, stop making excuses
Most people will have no ability to comprehend the mindset a SEAL has. Most cannot understand the strength a recruit choosen for buds has...who ultimately fails. All of that doesn't matter. All that matters is that in our day to day life we ask a few more questions about tough topics, we push ourselves a little more (demanding the best for ourselves) and we move towards and through our own issues (never running away). That is all we need to do.
Just what we need, more people thinking in war mode.
exactly what I was thinking...🤦🏽♂️
Seriously. Big think is so annoying now a days. On occasion they’ll put out a good video I guess which is why I’m still subscribed, but most of the time it’s garbage.
Yeah, because everyone knows we want a society filled with weak-willed, instant gratification and the will the quit when times are tough. (This is sarcasm, by the way.)
A warrior mindset (strength, resilience, ego-death, teamwork) can be utilized even in a peaceful society. I'd posit that it is most useful to a peace loving society. The will to use violence *if necessary* does not mean that one *wants to*.
No but we need more people to stop being lazy bums. Too many people are lazy and won't do enough for themselves or society.
@@Xpistos510 You Sir are correct. Thank you. Those that get it will make it. The rest will roll over and die.
David Goggins just executed a chat without profanity. I now truly believe he can do anything he puts his mind to.
I was a contractor, I worked with SEALs. They are fearless. If they come looking for you, make sure your will is up to date.

David Goggins: Extreme Mental Toughness
My mind, My body and my Spirit became one when I woke up this afternoon.. It feels great to see the breeze of air hit at you and see the leaves waving, gazing at it calmly . It feels great.. This is the first time I experienced it.. I didn't touch my phone when I woke up, I just head outside and see through anything while my mind is relaxed and calm.. I felt peace.. It feels really good
Wow. I am aware of all of this from personal past experience but to convey it in such a way I fully understand that capability even further than I have going through it. It all makes sense and is so simple yet the simplest things are often overlooked. I love this video and it’s all so very true. This is absolutely fantastic
Sounds similar to the mindset of a highly trained top-level scholar. As Aristotle said, courage is not always found on a battlefield. Sometimes it's found at a writing desk.
Lol totally not the same thing. Physjcal training rrquires pain. Studying does not. You can seriously get injured or die from physical activity. Theres a biy of a difference in challlenge to the mind and body.
Running changed my life. Running never disappoints.
Until your joints are shot. This is coming from a former triathlete.
“Clean your room” said once a wise man..

Self discipline is best discipline. Heard.
Boom! Would you consider yourself pretty disciplined? People with discipline and commitment is so hard to find these days.
Seek discomfort cause that’s where the real growth is in life!
Thanks a lot guys.
May God bless all of you more.
I was in military school when i was 14 years old.. its Malaysian Royal Military College. The training, omg. I have to do 1000 push up a day and run 2.4km x 3 on evening! throughout the first junior year. Then after a while i see the corporal that train me, their stomach pretty bubble-like. I think when im at school back then my training is as hard as SEAL lol. Im 30 years old now, i like my body shame. Never regret. I love it.
The part where Greitens quotes Hemingway bothers me.
GREITENS: Everybody has to deal with hardship. Everybody has to deal with struggle and there's this great quotation from Hemmingway. "The world is a hard place," he said. "And the world breaks everyone," he said. "And many are strong at the broken places." Now people often remember this phrase strong at the broken places but it's also important to remember his qualifier - many. Not all are strong at the broken places. And some people when they confront hardship actually end up in a place where they're helpless. Some people are broken by suffering. Some people are actually really hurt by pain in such a way that they can't move forward. But it's also the case that some people deal with hardship and become heroic.
I am NOT the type who is strong at the broken places. I am the type who is hurt by pain in such a way that I can’t move forward. That means none of what they’re talking about here can help me. What’s someone like me supposed to do?
who said you're not strong in the broken places? other people? yourself?
I would know, wouldn’t I?
@@fromthecheapseats7126 sure. but have you decided already you can't glue those pieces back together? or put other pieces forward into the world while you nurse the broken pieces back together? if you have decided that - reconsider.
because it's just a quote from a dead guy in a video about a loud bald guy. your reality isn't determined by a quote of a quote. what the fuck does hemingway know about you anyway?
This came to me. I needed it. Thank you.
Thanks for this I needed this
What a great mindset, he showed us that even if things get really messy that's when you will start to see who you really are and what you can do to thrive.
your vedio helped me ive went through mental disability thinking i cant do it because people repeatedly told me i wouldnt beable to do it even my highschool
Fam im so freakin motivated after this.. please keep putting up this cocktail of positive reinforcement please!!
I just wanted to add something, a quote my psychiatrist told me when ı was batteling with anxiety and depression my question was Thoughts are coming to my mind whic I defined as bad how can I control them and he said “you just cant control your thoughts brain is that complex of a structure it is what it is but what you can do is learn how to shift your focus either on your body or an outside variable to get a reset” then he suggested a practice called mindfullness I never studied it enough because I literally dont have any book reading habits and the depression was pressing high at the time. Hope that helps to some people.
Do not think about the distances, that you have to run, think that you’re running at the road which has no end !
In war, truth is the first casualty.

Your new style videos are excellent. 🙏🏻
I LOVE SEALS they are so inspirational to me. I have so much to learn from them.
Thank you, this was an excellent video
If there is one thing you absolutely have to take away from this video is that: you have to live it, or you have to practice whatever self improvement goal you have.
There are many good ideas in this video, and they sound very profound. But if you merely got super hyped up, got super pumped up, then you haven't gotten much from this video.
Personally, I love a profound idea for self improvement, but I don't really practice them day in day out. So I usually end up just collecting profound ideas but don't see anything improving in my life.
But about three months ago, I decided to choose just 4 self improvement goals, and practice them as much as possible. Even though the practices haven't been perfect, but boy oh boy, I saw myself improved noticeably. And it feels great, it feels way better than getting pumped by bunch profound motivating quotes.
Stop collecting great ideas merely for the sake of enjoying their profoundness, time to practice, time to sweat, time to live them.
In otherwords, get off youtube and exercise or do some productive work.
Amazing video. Thank you!
Thank you for that powerful insight..
I liked the information from the SEAL, 'to get the ball rolling,' so to speak of his view.
Gonna use this video as motivation to talk to the cashier tomorrow. Wish me luck guys
What a awesome content you always provide.
"IF IT DOESNT SUCK, WE DONT DO IT!" DAMN! LOVE THAT!
David is unique and true-spoken, I look up to him.
Thanks 4 sharing
Excellent content, much to appropriate personally...it is easy to see why SEALs are the most effective teams in the world
All special forces units are designed to respond to certain threats, none of them are "better" then the others, only some have gotten more public awareness then others.
If you tried to send Seals out to do a Green Beret job, they would fail fantastically because it's not what they are trained for.
Listened to this while working out damn! added 5km just like that.
Use great ideas to build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of your word, a skilful man with a purpose that serves the ones around him.
If you enjoy ideas about masculinity and mastery, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some concepts about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
Looking forward to your points of view.
All the best to you!
That's a good one mate
Great video. Amazing.
You're my hero David , STAY HARD
I ended up hating swimming, but I did it all the same and guess what, I pushed to 160 lanes in two hours non stop. I don't want to brag I'm not a fast swimmer I just like to feel the pain and exhaustion.

Am I the only one who got an add before the video about a motivation about
THIS LAST YEAR DIDN'T JUST AFFECT YOU
And yes I didn't skip it
pretty hilarious, if one realises that just 100 years ago in 1st world countries, 50 years ago in 2nd world countries, right now in 3rd world countries, getting up to do your bed and "workout"/run was definitely not possible - people got up to wash and get as much grub as they had/could and then run to work in the field or in the factory for 10-12 hours. that's a hellish week every single week.
This is Really Good!
Honsetly "What are you responsible for?" might be a key - a gamechanger.
Excellent Video !!
To build a warrior mindset is to continue doing the warrior training that hurts and that you don't like and keep overcoming your weaknesses weariness fear of failure laziness lack of discipline and doubt
Goggins is a beast! Just listen to him for 10 minutes and you feel like you can go out and conquer the world.
Such an inspring talk for everyone💪 loveeed!!
Thank you
It was never what you wanted to do,it was always what you have to do.
Ones doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates.Non-Duality
Agreed. Self-transcendence is a logical fallacy. Nothing can be causa sui. That is, nothing can cause itself. Everything, including people, are products of external things that precede its existence - genetics and environment/nature and nurture.
The capacity for change and decision making was inherited.
Is it determinism you are talking about? Or is it compatibilism?
I know that it is possible to experience transcendence into the spirit state of who you really are, your guardian angel.
@@larrysherk I’m definitely interested in spirituality. What do you mean by “.., your guardian angel”?
@@My2cents. It is thought in some circles (those who follow the channelling of Kryon) that we are all divine, so that here on earth we are angels in disguise as humans. People are only beginning to learn to get access (possibly through multiple dimensions, or possibly through Shamanic States of Consciousness to the angel in ourselves. In addition to that "higher self", we have guides who stick around and offer suggestions, as well as family members from other lifetimes. In short, an entourage. Kryon began channelling through Lee Carroll in 1989, and holds three or four sessions a week in different places. But the audios are all available online and the fourteen books of transcripts are great to have, to study it over and over. Now is the time we are trusted to absorb such material. Our religions never got as far, really, as self-empowerment. But God is everywhere, and in all things, and each of us, even if we sometimes behave badly. Kryon is actually an angel-technician, here to adjust the magnetic grids of the earth to accommodate the new DNA. So he talks a lot about science coming up, which is very helpful to those of us oriented that way.
thanks for video/
I think thsee Navy SEALs videos inspire me the most.
2:55 clean your room bucko!
I really want to see JP and David talk
this is fascinating
I do something every morning I don't want to do, I go to work! Avg temp in the plant is 95 degrees. When I get home I'm totally smoked
Is a true mindset personally i wanna join special forces so i start workout,learning math,physics. english bc is not my first language even i don't like that i was thinking is so hard to learn math and physics but i do it everyday even if i do small progress is progress :)) the only one who stop you is you
I always thought Seal was just a singer but this is incredible
I love this way of thinking. I'm gonna start riding my bike to work. I'm chasing down misery and pain lol.
Interesting video, and spot on about a lot of things. Most people don't know: during WWII, when they came up with the Frogman program, Hell Week was Week ONE! They didn't fuck around: They got rid of you IMMEDIATELY if you were a quitter. The war was on and the military needed what they needed RIGHT NOW! And UDT still had about 90% casualty rating! Over time, they came to recognize that if you gave men time...time to acclimate to what was expected of you, more guys would "tighten up" and get with the program and be viable candidates for the training pipeline. The ongoing needs of the war machine created a "meat grinder"l but it got the job done. After the war, they could relax the program and perfect it and that is why we have the caliber of special warfare operator of the US Navy we have now. Imagine if we still had that mindset? What if Hell Week was Week ONE....nowadays? Holy crap....it would be a 99% attrition rate!
I went through hell week and I don't buy the whole "if he quits in training, he'll quit in war." philosophy. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of guys that quit during training wouldn't have quit during war. In training it's not life or death..it's comfort if you quit.
@@OceanSwimmer201 I agree: Many a sailor has quit and rang that bell, only to return and make it through. And, from the books I have read by real-deal-SEALs from 'Nam, they had guys who made it through and once they hit the deep, awful mud of the Mekong delta, they would fall apart and have to be medevac'd out! Happened a couple of times from what I read.
Love this. I am a veteran from the marine corps. . . Oooorah.. . Mindset
Good stuff.
That David Goggins guy said something that triggered a profound realization inside me wow I feel like something has finally clicked!
It's unhealthy to follow David Goggins suggestions. You just need to train by giving it a priority and be consistent which is to do it when it's needed to be done . A little of pain every day may do you good but if you overtrain you need to recover which is to eat clean, hydrate and rest by waking up without an alarm clock.
Training every day without recovering will decrease your quality of life and you'll be risking your health because your immune system won't be on top.
Yeah yeah, good job doc. Keep it up.
@@camilloiscariota4973 Sarcasm, what's the point?
You are absolutely right Sir! Nothing needs to ever be overdone. Just done well, consistently and with integrity. Any extreme is harmful, detrimental and counter-productive!
Pointless comment, this video is about how someone develops an unbreakable mindset.
It's not a daily routine reccomendation.
@@oofym353 exactly people take 1 simple thing out of context. Or try to find something to argue about
Whenever I face a challenge or uncomfortable situation I say to myself “ if goggins ran with broken legs you can do this too”
Excellent
The fascination with this small group in the military is honestly getting weird
Agreed. The SEALs are no more capable than Special Forces, DELTA Force, TAC-P, PJs, Force Recon, MARSOC, or anyone attached to SOCOM. Similarly, no one in JSOC is more important than any doctor, scientist, or engineer. All are needed and essential.

Indeed it is getting weird. I think it's a subconscious reaction to the fear around all our systems and institutions going out of whack, not to mention our ecosystem.
It’s because the military, specifically the SOF community, is the only place in society that pushes a person to their absolute limits in all aspects simultaneously. It IS a very special thing. Plus, there’s no structure anywhere else in society and people are craving heroes and purpose.
Dave Goggins is a living legend and inspiration - when someone leaves you haven't lost them - you are simply returning them back to the universe - having suffered another significant TBI and the dissolution of my marriage to a army officer - I love your tough love - I am and will always remain UNCONQUERED! Thank you for sharing - from the Wisdom Poetess.
Gotta love David Goggins.
