"It is so easy to be great now, when so many people are weak". Strong and true. This guy is a gift, all I can say.

3 months sober today. Went from a suicidal drug addict and alcoholic and obese to working out twice a day doing 150 Burpees before work and lifting after. Down 30 lbs and going strong 💪

One of my two favorite quotes ever. “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

"The very purpose is you, you are always the purpose." This is so powerful and superb.

I’m into pills at the moment and smoking a lot of weed, but after watching this I’m going to try my hardest to change.

"Man....Why am I not doing this for myself?" That shit hit hard. 👊🏽

Here is how I started waking up early everyday: 1. Removed my phone from my bedroom: I found my phone distracting before going to bed and after I woke up. I would spend 45 minutes needlessly scrolling. 2. Placed an alarm outside my bedroom: This forces me to physically get up to go turn it off. By the time I do that I'm already awake and it's hard to go back to sleep. 3. Immediately Start Purposeful Work: Within 30 minutes of getting up I start working on a purposeful project. I enjoy the work I do so it makes it super easy to get started.

Goggins has motivated me a lot. I am 72 with Cancer and go to the gym 5 days a week , still playin in a band am doing my therapy.

I live by myself. I'm 70 this year. I had a childhood without parents. I get up early every morning. I still go to work 5 days a week. I do the gym 3-4 days a week and go hiking as often as possible. I'm happy and healthy

"it's so easy to be great today because so many people are weak" Fantastic quote.

The focus in David's eyes shows he believes down the core every single letter that comes out of his mouth. Pure discipline.

3:10 “One of the things that is so surprising about growing up through difficulty… What you realize is a lot of the things that you feared, or hated, or were embarrassed about as a child, end up being the genesis of the things that you’re most proud about as an adult.” Spot on brother. 💪

47 this year, did over 200 pushups today and a few planks. Goggins is such great motivation 💯

''its so easy to be great nowadays because most people are weak'' his motivation seems like a genius shortcut. it may also seem rude but its actually humbling

I’ve been struggling to find my purpose and I needed to hear this. I was already having a shitty morning and the woman at the register was genuinely sweet to everyone. Her smile gave me hope. Yes her purpose was to take my money and feed it to the register, but that smile said it’s gonna be alright. Amazing how a simple gesture does so much.

I'm one week into a 21 day spiritual fast right now and I have had Goggins on replay ... wow. SELF CARE on a whole other level!!!

In 2019 I was obese, depressed, had no job and an overall failure. Guys like this inspired me to be better and here I am significantly healthier and just got hired as a firefighter. Anything is possible if you put in the work and want it badly enough

I've made videos about this myself but Goggins expresses it far better than I ever could... sleep experts will disagree with me here but my personal experience is: if I sleep from 10PM - 5AM, I feel FAR more motivated than if I sleep 10PM - 5AM then snooze til 7AM... just being awake and getting stuff early while it's still dark out feels godly... even if the second half of my day ends up more 'relaxation mode', its worth the sacrifice of feeling a bit sh*t and cold for about 2 minutes... They say "if you lose an hour in the morning, you'll spend the rest of the day trying to find it." I couldn't agree more!

finding you and finding these videos has made me want to turn my life around. i am about 4 months clean off abusing pills and i have kind of just been lost since becoming sober, now i want to wake up and actually improve myself every day instead of just sitting on the couch as you say. dont be ashamed of your past actions, take your mistakes and learn from them and become a better man.

I love short and to the point interviews with people who can be clear, concise and to the point! Thanks!

"Cause one day that thing is going to come up, and if your not constantly performing out purpose your not going to be ready when that time comes". Damn I felt that

This is honestly a wake up call, i procrastinated so much lately, let my passions stagnate, lost my drive and more. I know i need to do better

This year so far I've been getting up and sticking to my routine because I want to change and I want to be a better version of myself physically, mentally, and spiritually and David Goggins helps me alot by motivating me by what he says! He is a true badass warrior

This video came to my feed at the most perfect time in my life when things are the roughest I’ve ever felt. Thank for opening my lenses to a whole new perspective.

We need more positivity like these men speak. Aged 66 I still knock out running 7 miles in an hour. Used to be 10 mph. Never ever give up!!! Dont be a victim!! One life.

“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.” ― Samuel Johnson

00:00 You talk about performance without a purpose. What's that? 01:33 The purpose is always there. The purpose never leaves us. The main purpose in life is you. 03:00 Leveling up requires going the extra mile and refusing to settle for mediocrity. 04:49 Growing up through difficulty allows you to turn your weaknesses into strengths. 07:04 Overcoming yourself and facing your fears leads to personal growth and power. Made with chapters,video

"It's so easy to be great because most people are weak." 😂 so true. Love that

When the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change, that’s when the change happens.

No matter how tired I am after work . I think of this dude and I’m like ok let’s go gym . Thanks 🙏🏼

One of the many things I appreciate about David Goggins is his tough, kick your ass, no nonsense way of explaining things. 🙏🙏

I love you Mr. Goggins. Your struggles speak to me. Gives me hope in myself.

I developed a method for getting up early and its served me very well. I started by setting myself a soft goal, like just get up before 7:30am. I did this and then when I did was I recorded this time in a file on my phone, then the next day I set a goal that was just to beat this time, it could be even 7:29am. When I did that I kept going until I got to 5:30am. I rarely want to be up before 5:30 so I'll get up between 5:30am and 6:30am. I started this over a year ago and by now its ingrained in me. What kept me going at the start was that I made a game out of it, i was always trying to beat my previous time and when its like this it becomes fun.

im with him , i live alone so theres nobody around to motivate me or keep me in check . after a while you realize it really is all on you to better yourself and there is no shortcut to greatness of any kind , but you can achieve it no matter who you are or what your situation , just get after it , do what you can , and then do more , strangely enough things will begin to fall into place and the more they do the easier it will get for you to achieve more if you continue to improve yourself because you will be getting stronger and smarter which leads to more progress . its a viscious cycle . im up to 5 miles a day now plus other exercises aside from my daily tasks , job , school etc. and its all leading to more because im able to handle more . im not special by any means i just made a decision one day to start and not stop . if your reading this you can achieve greatness , just go for it and dont let anybody stop you or tell you you cant , especially yourself . excuses are easy , life is hard , so stay hard 💪

I now smoke a lot of cannabis and am into pills, but after watching this, I'm going to make every effort to change.

This man is so inspiring to listen to. He has so much conviction and determination

" you have to have pride in yourself even the smallest thing about yourself " I'll remember that

I’ve been following Goggins for a while, but this conversation resonated with me the most. Good on y’all for spreading goodness.

It's amazing to know that alot of people out there just needs to hear these things being said to them to undergo a major change in their lives.

I'm 17 now. Doing all the shit a teen would do. I need you guys to support me. I need to be accountable to you guys. And make my biggest life turn after this video hope that happens. ❤

I just watched this hating myself laying on my bed and drinking beer. Then got inspired to go on a run. But it was raining and my only shoes were soaked. Without thinking twice I got up, chugged my beer, and ran in the rain barefoot. I would have normally looked at people's reactions to me barefoot but remembered I AM THE PURPOSE and it is for ME! I felt empowered doing it all for myself as those people went by me. I feel a million times better. Thank you for the motivation

Last time I was listening religiously to this dude was two years ago and I have reached my biggest goal in life because of him. I'm back again because I'm moving to my dream country next week and need to face my fears. He never disappoints.

Halfway thru and I was so motivated, I had to pause the video and do a few sets of push-ups.

2:27 - 2:47 You can tell by the look of his eyes and the way he talks, he found meaning through his suffering and that was actually the thing that brought happiness into his messed up life. What a great man he is, and how lucky we being alive at the same time this superman is sharing his light and guiding so many on their journey to become better and greater. Thank you David Goggins

I love this guy, he keeps me pushing and going everyday. To get better everyday

Goggins mindset always reminded me of Bruce Lee. Both of them are just the most relentless, focused, uncompromising humans. Both are incredibly inspiring

I used to do all these things and then some, but Ive gotten older and fallen off a bit, this is all I needed. Thanks Goggins.

I been hung up on the idea of purpose in life for years because it feels like i had no passion for any craft that i do i get bored with things i thought i was passionate about in the beginning so when that dies down i feel like im lost. But what goggins said about not needing a purpose to thrive and the only purpose is getting better at whatever it is is ur doing to be a better you. That really spoke to me and was something i needed to hear that i dont think anyone around me could have ever explained to me. Thank you.

Heard of him in April this year and his book "Can't Hurt Me" has been a revelation in changing my mindset in the way I approach life in general. Thanks DG for inspiring, I'm now driven rather than finding motivation from somewhere. Stay Hard!

Your purpose is yourself. I have never thought of that and was not ready to really take that in until today. I'm so glad I saw this, specifically right now. Thank you!

Only thru JESUS CHRIST can we be saved and changed ..love yall

This is, in my opinion, one of the best segments of a podcast ever!

No money can buy David’s state of mind and ability to achieve what he has done. He is one of the most interesting people to listen to.

"I am the purpose". I am the purpose is spot on. You will never be lonely if you are happy and like yourself.

It's crazy how many stories are there in this comment section, you guys are so inspirational. I just wanna say thank you to all of you who have shared your story here, you never know who you can inspire and motivate. Probably you're not like Goggins, frankly, no one is, but you're an inspiration. Keep it up and stay hard

This is honestly beautiful. I'm a woman and can't tell you how much Goggins has inspired me and made me feel better about myself while helping me find my own drive! He teaches us that we're only in competition with ourselves!!! There's so much pressure we put on ourselves by comparing ourselves to others and Goggins reminds us to only compare ourselves to OURSELVES. Thank-you so much, Goggins! STAY HARD EVERYONE ❤

I absolutely love this interview! Was not familiar with Goggins before, phenomenal questions & conversation 🙏

Thank you david Goggins you changed the course of my life

Hey guys, I hope you're good, this is the best words that I need to hear in this moment. Thank you so much to share us something incredible.

I started to workout since January this year and eat healthy. Today we are June, after months of consistency I lost weight and gain muscles. I’m proud of myself and what I have achieved in a short period of time.

Absolutely agree. That is the most difficult thing to accept and to keep accepting day after day. When my off-season starts and the gap between then and the start of the next season, it's about mental discipline to keep training. Maintaining the sense of "this is what we do now" and avoiding quitting. That's when you must move forward. When you absolutely don't want to do it. That's when it is most important.

Your purpose in life is you......mind blowing! Goggins is a genius!!!

Love goggins. Wouldn’t be who I am without him and his content

Healthy and Great Life is the Purpose, and David Goggins changed me. Thank You @Chris Williamson I love your podcast. I live in the world's second most polluted city Kolkata (Calcutta) and running outside made me allergic now I jog inside my ground floor 20 M corridor for an hour. Because Excuses are for Weak, I wish to fail again, fail to be weak and fail to stay in the comfort zone. Fail eating processed food and anything bad. I learnt failure in the right way is the necessity for greatness. Failing others expectations but not yours.

Thank you Chris and David. Time to write a Mission statement.

ive seen your tiktoks and reels and stuff, and for the last few months ive been nr1 in my head no women , nothing else just me. books gym work no stress. im doing it for myself . and i wish i had more time to do this. its true and this mentality you have is great, im glad i found you and one day would love to be on this podcast above any other. i came from a fktup background in south africa having nothing. and its unreal how you listen to people and they dont want anythign else or when they do they just talk and talk . and i cant say i didnt do it i got stuck in this mentality for 2 long of a time.i remmeber sleeping on the floor and not having food living of a slice of bread a day i baught on debt . keep beeing great guys. you do it for you

Absolutely agree with this. Mindset is key. Coming out of Covid I was at my heaviest weight of 119kg at 5ft11 and wasn’t happy with my lifestyle. Decided to switch this up and over the course of 14 months I lost around 30kg by eating clean, adopting healthier habits (walking/cycling instead of driving where possible) and started playing sports again.

This really hit the nail on the head of what I’m going through right now. Going from a young adult into someone where the pieces are starting to fall together, someone I can respect and call a true adult. It’s a beautiful thing, like a butterfly finally starting to fly after being in a cocoon for so long.

With the help of Joseph Sullivan Anderson, an investment advisor, I've been investing since last summer and have so far made about 630k. I have to admit that using the appropriate strategy when investing yields fantastic results.

Meeting Trevor James Beckerman has transformed our lives beyond what we could have imagined. Thanks to his guidance, we've become debt-free and are now actively saving for retirement. I even earned over 220K during the recent market downturn, which highlighted that there's more to the market than meets the eye. Especially for those nearing retirement, having an investment adviser like him is crucial.

Love the open energy in this podcast, it is very educative

Sometimes the comments are just as motivating (if not more) and inspirational than the video itself. Thanks ya’ll.

I was walking 3.8 miles every other day and now if I listen to David Goggins the whole time I can go 7 miles! It's great motivation!

Hi Chris, I recently found your channel and have watched several of your videos, and wanted to finally comment on this one as it really hit home for me. Out of all the personal growth content for men that I read/listen to/watch, and it's quite a lot, yours stands above the rest, and never fails to get me to think and reflect. Keep up the great work, bro. In greatness and friendship, Tommy

Goggins is a favorite of mine. Dude is a beast. Inspirational.

I have no idea how this popped up in my recommended at the perfect time but I needed to hear this. You guys are great.

Great show man , keep up everything your doing on this channel ✅.

The first 3 minutes are golden. Nobody can say it better. That's it. Thank you.

This is the best interview ever! Literally everyone should watch it.

Your Content Stands Out In A Refreshing Way! I Truly Appreciate The Absence Of Background Music In Your Videos, As It Allows Your Message And Personality To Shine Through Without Distractions. Keep Up The Great Work!

If I could listen to only one man on earth for motivation for the rest of my days, it’s this man right here.

Ive started to run and bike a lot more because of goggins he really has said exactly what I need to hear.

Sweet! This is exactly what people need to understand. It cannot be said enough times. This is a refreshing realization to always understand to stay fixated on the grind that gets you to your goals. Awesome

“If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for everything.” Gonna put that one on a tile

David is such an inspiration. I use to be a casual drinker, but now, I'm having shots for breakfast, I'm chugging pints, I'm getting to the next level of drunk.

This was immensely motivating, thank you David. If you’re not doing better for you, then you’re not really doing better.

yeah you are all right, this guys is a hero

This guy speaks nothing but facts I had to watch this before I go to bed for it to stick in my mind😩💆🏾‍♂️

Wow, I admire this man so much. Read all his books. He is the only one who emphasizes the truth of personal development - push yourself without anybody else giving you a reward, every single day. Otherwise life is gonna come up and you won't be ready.

When purpose becomes neccesity, purpose has reached its true purpose. Very resonating.

This David Goggins guy is something else, major respect to Chris as well for cultivating such a great podcast. Inspiring from both parties.

Holy Shii! "Keep talking" got my goosebumps getting goosebumps

David is amazing and an inspiration to me!

very happy to explore the comment section. Full of positivity and good thoughts. Lets get better!🙏

“ I am the purpose in my life.” 100%

To better ones self is our main purpose in life and to serve others . That’s what it’s all about ❤

I don't know how this guy hasn't received some sort of title or accolade for his work on motivating others, just imagine how many people he's helped get healthier and stronger mentally

You become very powerful when you overcome yourself, that’s the answer right there!

Speak yo shit goggins. Success is earned through a mindset like this.
