One of Goggins’ key practices was standing in front of the mirror and calling out his weaknesses. By being brutally honest with yourself, you take the first step towards self-improvement. This is what he calls the “Accountability Mirror.”

3. Accountability Mirror: Be Honest with Yourself

It always seems impossible until it’s done.

Goggins believes the moment you stop pushing, you stop growing. He advocates constantly setting new goals, facing new challenges, and getting out of your comfort zone, no matter what stage of life you’re in.

9. Stay Hungry: Never Settle for Comfort

Goggins teaches that our mind often limits us before our body does. He believes we can push far beyond our perceived limits if we train our minds to endure discomfort. The key is embracing pain and hardship as a way to grow stronger.

1. Master Your Mind: Mental Toughness is Key

You cannot change what you refuse to confront.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with

Goggins created a mental "Cookie Jar" filled with his past successes and moments of pride. Whenever he faced self-doubt or fatigue, he’d reach into this jar and remind himself of all the times he had already overcome adversity.

6. The Cookie Jar: Remember Your Wins

Goggins talks about “taking souls,” which means doing so much more than expected that it demoralizes your competition. Whether it’s a grueling race or a tough assignment, outperforming others fuels your own momentum and pushes you to new heights.

7. Taking Souls: Outwork Your Competition

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.

The more you practice, the better you get, the more freedom you have to create.

Goggins introduces the "40% Rule," which states that when your mind tells you to quit, you’ve only reached 40% of your potential. This mindset helped him endure extreme challenges, from Navy SEAL training to ultra-marathons.

2. The 40% Rule: You're Capable of Much More

Goggins faced physical and mental challenges from childhood poverty to heart defects. Instead of letting these obstacles defeat him, he used them as fuel to push even harder. What held him back became his driving force.

8. Turn Weakness into Strength: Adapt and Overcome

Just like you can toughen your hands by callousing them, you can also callous your mind. Goggins suggests repeatedly facing fears, discomfort, and challenges to build resilience over time. The more you endure, the tougher you get.

4. Callous Your Mind: Toughen Up Through Repetition

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Goggins emphasizes the importance of having people around you who will push you to be your best, not those who enable laziness or make excuses. Surrounding yourself with driven individuals keeps you accountable and motivated.
