  Speaker 1: We can have a great life, but we always build
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this reality around the one thing we don't have.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: So therefore our great life we don't even see it.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: We see the one piece of clothing we weren't able
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to get, versus the amazing things we have, so we
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: focus on that. I was the king of focusing on
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the one bad thing in my life, the one bad
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: person called me nigger, the everything bad. I focused on that.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But over here was a.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Beautiful reality of my life.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Even though I came from nothing, where I could have
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: taken my mind for the possibilities of where I can
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: go if I work harder, that was all over here.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: If I lived in the filth over here.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So basically what I started doing was when I was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: two ninety seven, I thought about my God, man, like
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: this could be my life, and I thought, Okay, what
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: does heaven look like. I don't know, no one does.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: I imagine. So I was like, Okay, I imagine that
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: there's a big long line and you got judgment and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you're God. Let's say you're God and I'm just David Goggins,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: big long line and.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: You're talking to Jane Jane Doe.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe goes by and behind you is a big
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: white board, and the white board has like just a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: piece of paper, and you pull it down. The next
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: person that lines David Goggins. And on this board it
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: has all this stuff on it. But I can't see
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: him too far back in line, so I come up.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I sit down. Now you're talking to me, David. Congratulations,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you made to heaven. How you feel?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And right now I'm three hundred pounds man Eco lab guy,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm seventy one years old. This is what I'm thinking
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: at twenty four years old.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm dead, I'm in heaven. You're God.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You pull the paper down, says David Goggins. I'm reading
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: it and I'm looking at it and it has my name.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But all this paper it says everything about you, everything,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: because God knows all.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm looking at it and I'm seeing one.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Hundred and eighty five Navy seal change people's lives, all
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: these amazing things, public speaker, blah blah blah blah blah, motivation, all.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: The best selling book.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And look at God, said God, the name is right,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but what's on here is not me, He goes, It
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: should have been you. This was the life that you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: were supposed to live, but you didn't try. So this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: is the life that you have. So what I think
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to myself is are you in heaven? Am I talking
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to God? Or am I talking to the devil? Because
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I'm in hell now to see that that was supposed
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to be my life, but because I didn't try hard enough,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: because I didn't put forth every single bit of an
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: ounce of pressure in my body into being better, that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: ended up being a three hundred pound god that may
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a month.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And I was fine there, that was okay. So that's
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: how my mind works.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: It works that way to see where is this gonna
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: take me? What's the possibility? Well, I have resets, but
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: my resets are like I call them aid stations, mental
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: aid stations. So when you're going hard and you're grinding
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: out the time, like everybody knows you're twenty four hours
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in a day, but I'm in the shower, it's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: mental A station. I don't think about shit, I don't
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: think about people, I don't think about work, I don't
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: think about running, don't think about working out.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm in the car, you know.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: The mental A station. I can eating mental air stations.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So people eating and they work and all sorts. Man,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So I can grind hard because a lot of times, man,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I'm in mental air stations chilling. So you have little
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: mini vacancy, many vacations, man, all day long.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: We humans are not really truth seeking animals. We are
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: social animals. And you know, take you back in time
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: ten thousand years and you're in a small village. If
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: you go along to get along, you can survive, you
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: can procreate. If you're the village truth teller, you might
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: get club to death in the middle of the night.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Truths are often they don't want to be heard because
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: important truths can be uncomfortable. They can be awkward, they
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: can be exhausting, they can make people defensive, even if
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: that's not the intent. But any high performing organization, whether
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: it's a sports team, a business, you know, a political organization,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: an activist group, I don't care what it is. Any
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: high performing organization has to have mechanisms and a culture
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: that supports truth telling. One of the things you have
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to do is you have to talk about that, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: you have to talk about the fact that it takes
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: energy to do that. You have to talk to people,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: You have to remind people it's okay that it's uncomfortable
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to literally tell people. It's not what we're designed to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: do as humans. It's not really, it's kind of a
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: side effect.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: We can do that, but it's not how we survive.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: We mostly survive by being social animals and being cordial
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and cooperative, and that's really important. And so there's a
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: you know, science is all about truth telling. It's actually
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: a very formal mechanism for trying to tell the truth.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: And even in science, you find that it's hard to
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: tell the truth right. And even you know you're supposed
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to have hypothesis and test it and find data and
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: reject the hypothesis and so on, it's not easy. You
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: want to set up your culture so that the most
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: junior person can overrule the most senior person if they
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: have data.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Your body is your unconscious mind, and it does not
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: know the difference between an experience in your life that
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: put an emotion and an emotion that you fabricate.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: My thought alone to the body, it's the same.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: It believes it's in the experience over and over again.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: So if you begin to think unworthy thoughts, wouldn't you
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: agree that you're gonna begin to feel unworthy. The moment
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: you feel unworthy, aren't you gonna think more and worthy thoughts?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: They You're gonna feel more unworthy, they think more on
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the and then finally you're gonna say I am unworthy.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: And whenever you say I am anything, what you're saying
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: is my mind and body are working together. My thoughts
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and feelings are aligning to a destiny. So if you
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: understand then that feelings are the record of the past,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: and those feelings are driving your thoughts. Are you thinking
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: in the future, are.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: You thinking in the past.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: And as long as you're thinking in the past, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: you believe that your thoughts have something to do with
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: your destiny, what are you creating more of Now? That
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: cycle of thinking and feeling creates a state of being,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: and a state of being is your personality, and that
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: chemical contentity becomes so familiar to you that that becomes
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: your identity. After thirty five and all of a sudden,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: when we want to change and we're not going to
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: think the same thoughts or behave the same way, or
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: live by the same emotions and we disrupt this chemical continuity,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: it feels uncomfortable because now, all of a sudden, it's unfamiliar,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: and now you're stepping outside of the old self. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: at least when you suffered, you could predict the next
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: reason to suffer. Now, all of a sudden, you're not suffering. Now,
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: what are you gonna do?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Then, if thoughts and feelings produce an imprint in the
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: quantum field, that invisible field that exists beyond time and
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: space that's responsive to how you think and feel, then
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: if you're walking around in your life in a state
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: of suffering and you're broadcasting an electromagnetic signature, what you're
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: saying is okay, field, bring me more reasons to suffer,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: but bring them in a way that I least expect,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: that surprise me, that leave no doubt that they've come
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: from you.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: I know that I am pure spirit, that I always
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: have been, and that I always will be. There is
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: inside me a place of confidence and quietness and security,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: where all things are known and understood. This is the
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Universal Mind God, of which I am a part, and
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: which responds to me as I ask of it. This
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: universal mind knows the answer to all of my problems,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: And even now the answers are speeding their way to me.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: I needn't struggle for them. I needn't worry or strive
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: for them. When the time comes, the answers will be there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I give my problems to the great mind of God.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: I let go of them, confident that the correct answers
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: will return to me when they are needed. Through the
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: great law of attraction, everything in life that I need
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: from my work and fulfillment will come to me. It
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: is not necessary that I strain about this. Only believe,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: for in the strength of my belief, my faith will
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: make it so. I see the hand of divine intelligence
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: all about me, in the flower, the tree, the brook,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: the meadow. I know that the intelligence that created all
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: these things is in me and around me, and that
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: I can call upon it for my slightest need. I
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: know that my body is a manifestation of pure spirit,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: and that spirit is perfect. Therefore my body is perfect. Also.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: I enjoy life, for each day brings a constant demonstration
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: of the power and wonder of the universe and myself.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: I am confident, I am serene, I am sure. No
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: matter what obstacle or undesirable circumstance crosses my path, I
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: refuse to accept it, for it is nothing but illusion.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: It can be no obstacle or undesirable circumstance to the
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: mind of God, which is in me, around me, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: serves me now
