Goggins used to listen to Rocky Balboa's(boxer) music to pump him up with energy. Music activates various parts of the brain, reminds your brain of the state you were in when you had listened to the song.

Having A Song To Energize You

Constantly recheck the map you are heading, and know overconfidence can kill. Identify where you are heading and never ignore knowledge coming your way due to your ego. Once reached the destination dont let the ego think you are the greatest because somebody out there who is at next level. You are your only competition. Peaceful but never satisfied.

Check The Flow Of Your Direction

We dont rise to the level of expectation, but we fall to the level of training. When failed dont say it is not meant to me, but try harder. Train more. But not at the cost of health, be in state of ‘Peaceful but never satisified'Goggins took several ultramarathons of miles both with and without preparation, there was a stark difference, do not consider anything for granted , do the homework.

No TRAINING VS TRAINING

Everyday try to do something uncomfortable even a little so that brain gets calloused instead of getting scared of your fear and insecurities, it will always haunt you, having victim state of mind is waste of time, nothing changes but keeps you in a lopp of problem mindset. Identify week links and challenge them. Dig on things that you know are surely important for you but you are not doing.
