Goggins

https://youtu.be/5tSTk1083VY

I hope that you will watch the video linked. 
I also hope that you will find all of his videos and watch them.
Warning:
The language is real, raw, and can be offensive to some.

Last week, I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast with a neuroscientist.
They brought up David Goggins.
They expressed their opinions about this man, then talked about facts regarding him.
I was intrigued.

I then watched Joe's podcast with David and needed to know more.
Last night, Mike put David's book on my phone so that I could listen to it as I work out each day.

I'm not sure that I would have been AS interested in his story if I had not, a) had a stroke and b) been an addict.
David is very intent on making his mind strong (callused). 
He states that the worst thing that can happen to a human is that they become civilized. 
He talks about doing one thing that sucks every single day.
Living in the uncomfortable.
The discomfort.

I would suggest that you go and learn about him.
1. Only person to ever go through Hell Week three times in one year.
2. Holds the record for the most amount of pullups in a certain amount of time.
3. Completed Army Ranger training
4. Was in the Air Force
5. Could not read as a junior in high school
6. Was abused. Severely.
7. Failed and failed and failed and failed at most everything before he succeeded.
8. Is terrified of water... overcame that fear to become, what some consider, the best Navy Seal ever.
9. Ran a 100 mile race. Two days later, ran a marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon.
10. Has worked with his mind so much that he is capable of doing things others will never do.
