David Goggins on Controlling the Multi-Voice Dialogue in Your Mind

About this video

In this short clip, David Goggins describes the internal battle behind his achievements: many voices insisting a task is too hard and that he will not make it. Goggins says daily practice, lacing them up every day as a metaphor for life, builds conviction to ignore those voices and finish anyway. He argues people listen to everyone else’s journey instead of the truth in front of them, and that creating another, stronger voice sometimes means going at it alone.

Key takeaways

• David Goggins says daily practice builds the conviction to ignore self-defeating inner voices.
• Goggins uses lacing up each day as a metaphor for showing up to life’s hard tasks.
