  Dot com. Welcome to the Daily quote, the
• 0:06
  podcast designed to kick start your day in a positive way.
• 0:11
  I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this episode is brought to
• 0:13
  you by the great News Podcast because good news should be
• 0:17
  heard and it's available where all great podcasts are found.
• 0:22
  And I've also left a link right here for you in the show notes.

  Today's dose of raw, unfiltered motivation comes from David
• 0:31
  Goggins, a retired Navy SEAL, ultra endurance athlete and
• 0:37
  author known for his incredible mental toughness and ability to
• 0:41
  push past perceived limits. Goggins challenges us with his
• 0:46
  powerful statement, You're entitled.
• 0:50
  Mind is dead. Wait, Cut it loose.
• 0:55
  Don't focus on what you think you deserve.
• 0:58
  Take aim on what you are willing to earn.
• 1:03
  David Goggins doesn't pull any punches here, and this quote is
• 1:08
  a prime example of his no excuses philosophy.
• 1:12
  In a world that sometimes encourages us to believe we're
• 1:16
  owed something, Goggins flips the script entirely.
• 1:21
  He calls out the entitled mind as deadweight, something that
• 1:26
  holds us back from our true potential.
• 1:29
  Think about it. How often do we find ourselves
• 1:32
  thinking I deserve this promotion, or I deserve an
• 1:37
  easier path, or I deserve success without all this
• 1:40
  struggle? While it's important to value
• 1:44
  ourselves and over reliance on what we think we deserve can
• 1:49
  blind us to the effort, sacrifice, and relentless work
• 1:53
  that true achievement demands, this mindset can lead to
• 1:57
  frustration, stagnation, and a reluctance to put in the
• 2:02
  necessary grind. Goggins urges us to cut the dead
• 2:08
  weight loose. Instead of focusing on perceived
• 2:11
  entitlements, he directs our energy towards what we are
• 2:15
  willing to earn. This shift in perspective is
• 2:19
  transformative. It moves us from a passive
• 2:23
  waiting stance to an active, aggressive pursuit of our goals.
• 2:28
  It reminds us that the most satisfying rewards are those we
• 2:32
  fought for, those we built with our own sweat and determination.
• 2:38
  So as you tackle your day, ask yourself, am I operating from a
• 2:45
  place of entitlement or am I ready to earn it?
• 2:51
  What are you truly willing to work for, to sacrifice for, to
• 2:57
  push through discomfort for? Embrace that challenge, shed the
• 3:02
  expectation of handouts and take aim at the hard earned victories
• 3:06
  that will truly define your strength and character.
• 3:12
  That's going to do it. For today, I'm Andrew McGivern,
• 3:15
  signing off for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
