I lived life at the bottom of the barrel and my future forecast was bleak as f***. Very few people know how the bottom feels but I do, it’s like quicksand it grabs you, s**** you under and won’t let go. When life is like that it’s easy to drift and continue to make the same comfortable choices that are killing you over and over again. We all make habitual self limiting choices it’s as natural as a sunset, how our brains are wired which is why motivation is crap, even the best pep talk or self-help hack is nothing but a temporary fix. It won’t rewire your brain it won’t amplify your voice or uplift your life. Motivation changes exactly nobody, the bad hand that was my life was mine and mine alone to fix so I sought out pain, fell in love with suffering and eventually transformed myself from the weakest p************ on the planet into the hardest man God ever created or so I tell myself. Odds are you had a better childhood than I did and even might have a damn decent life but no matter who you are, who your parents are where you live, what you do for a living or how much money you have, you’re probably living at about 40% of your true capability. Damn shame. We all have the potential to be so much more. – David Goggins
