Great book! I have it too. David Goggins is all about hustle and hard work. @ryzeonline and I are more of the 'do what you love', and 'do whatever feels right for you', and 'do what makes you happy' camp. However, Jay does it with a dash of tough love too. But for me personally, it's what has helped me transform my life. This world feeds enough candy-coated lies to people for most of our lives. Our parents, teachers, media, friends etc... tell us what we want to hear. There are too few people in the world telling us the TRUTH. And sometimes it needs to be harsh.
Goggins is a fan of the harsh truth. We are too and we give it to others but I do so with a spoonful of sugar instead of dirt like Goggins does. I love his story but I'm not about running in a race while my feet are bleeding just to be better. I am however on board with being told off when I need it. AND I'm a fan of his cookie jar exercise. I'm sure you know it if you read his book. It's helped me when I was feeling like shit about myself in the past. But I find affirmations, meditations, and dance work well too.
What did you think of the booK?
Its interesting to read his story, it almost seems like he is on a mission to destroy himself. I too don’t agree with the harshness of a message. positive reinforcement works best, and one volunteer is better than ten pressed men.
He had me at “no one is coming to save you, you have to do it yourself” that’s my cookie jar event that I keep pulling from.
Also identify and work on your weaknesses is a good tip.
Yes I do love that..."no one is coming to save you". I've used this MANY times for myself and my clients too. I was waiting for years for someone to save me from my shit life but no one did. I had to go out and do it myself. But this quote resonates with me too.
and yay! Keep pulling your cookie jar events when you need them.
eh I don't agree with working on your weaknesses UNLESS you want to do something and your weakness is in the way. THEN work on it and get better at it. But otherwise, I believe we should focus on what we're good at, and be a master at it.
