David Goggins is known for his intense mental toughness and relentless pursuit of self-
improvement. Here are some of his notable thoughts and philosophies:

1. Embrace Discomfort

 Goggins believes growth comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. He often says,
"You have to build calluses on your mind, just like you build calluses on your hands."

2. Accountability Mirror

 He emphasizes brutal honesty with oneself. He suggests looking into the mirror and being
truthful about your weaknesses and areas for improvement.

3. Callous Your Mind

 He advocates exposing yourself to difficult situations regularly to build resilience. He


says the mind, like the body, needs to be conditioned to endure hardship.

4. The 40% Rule

 According to Goggins, when you feel like you’ve reached your limit, you’re only at 40%
of your potential. There’s always more to give.

5. Stay Hard

 His mantra, "Stay hard," reminds people to keep pushing themselves no matter the
circumstances, staying mentally tough and committed to their goals.

6. No One is Coming to Save You

 Goggins stresses personal responsibility, saying that you must take control of your life
because no one else will do it for you.

7. Purpose over Motivation

 He often talks about the fleeting nature of motivation and the importance of discipline
and purpose to stay consistent.

8. Turn Pain into Strength

 Goggins believes that pain and adversity can be the greatest teachers. He says, "Suffering
is the true test of life."
9. Control Your Mind

 He stresses the power of mastering your mind, learning to override self-doubt and
excuses to reach your goals.

10. The Importance of Mental Reps

 Just like physical workouts, Goggins believes in doing "mental reps" by pushing through
challenges that test your willpower and mental fortitude.
