Your environment matters. Surround yourself with people who challenge you, inspire you, and push you to be better. Cut out those who hold you back or discourage growth.

Surround Yourself with Growth-Minded People 🤝

Aim for goals that seem out of reach, like running an ultramarathon or breaking records. The pursuit of these goals will force you to grow, even if you don’t achieve them right away.

Set “Impossible” Goals 🎯

Fear is an illusion that limits your potential. Face your fears directly, and they lose their power. Use them as motivation to move forward instead of as barriers that hold you back.

Break Through Fear 🛡️

Goggins introduces the "Accountability Mirror" as a tool to confront your truths. Write down your weaknesses and goals on sticky notes, place them on your mirror, and commit to improving every day.

The Accountability Mirror

Motivation is fleeting, but discipline lasts. Build routines and habits that keep you moving toward your goals, even on days when you don’t feel like it.

Discipline Over Motivation 🚀

Pain is temporary, but the lessons it teaches are permanent. Learn to thrive in uncomfortable situations and channel your pain into something meaningful, like discipline, focus, or growth.

Use Pain as Fuel 🔥

Just as you build calluses on your hands through hard work, you must "callous" your mind by facing adversity head-on. Embrace discomfort, pain, and failure—they’re necessary for growth and mental toughness.

Callous Your Mind 🧠

Stop blaming others or circumstances for where you are. Take 100% responsibility for your actions, choices, and outcomes. True power lies in controlling what you can and letting go of excuses.

Take Ownership of Your Life 🔑

Don’t settle for being average or even good. Strive to be exceptional, even in elite environments. Challenge yourself to constantly grow and outperform even the best.

Build an “Uncommon Amongst the Uncommon” Mindset 🥇

Goggins emphasizes visualization and mental rehearsal as tools to prepare for challenges. See yourself succeeding before you start, and your mind will help you push through obstacles.

Mental Rehearsal is Key 🧘

Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Goggins turned his childhood trauma, obesity, and failures into stepping stones toward resilience and strength. Use adversity to fuel your transformation.

Turn Your Struggles Into Strengths 💎

When you think you're done, you’re really only at 40% of your potential. Goggins explains that your mind limits you long before your body does. Push past that mental barrier to unlock your true capacity.

Embrace the 40% Rule 🔥

New York Times Bestseller Over 2.5 million copies sold For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In this curse-word-free edition of Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
