He had stress fractures in his legs, shin splints, his kidneys had shut down, he was pooping his pants because the bathroom was too far away, and peeing blood because his organs were failing. As if this wasn’t enough, he also had a hole in his heart while he finished the 100 miles.

Here are some David Goggins quotes and key life lessons to make you unbeatable.

>We live in an external world. Everything, you have to see it, touch it. If you can for the rest of your life, live inside yourself – to find greatness, you have to go inside.

>I tried to do so many things to fit in. But when you look in the mirror, that’s the one person you can’t lie to.”

>Having lived the life I’ve lived, and seeing the other side, not being afraid to attack what was in front of me has made me happy.

>Anytime you go from one extreme to the next, you develop aches and pains. I am pretty broken, but luckily I can take the pain, especially when I remember why I’m doing all of this.

>If you can see yourself doing something, you can do it.  If you can’t see yourself doing it usually you can’t achieve it. 

>What was his unique style or personality that set him apart from everyone else?

>It hurts, but that’s all it does. The most difficult part of the training is training your mind. You build calluses on your feet to endure the road. You build calluses on your mind to endure the pain. There’s only one way to do that. You have to get out there and run.

>Failure is an option. It’s what you do with the failure that makes you who you are. Our failures mold us. I have failed at several things in my life. What sets some of us apart, is that when we fail, we can’t sleep at night. It haunts us until we have our time at redemption.

>I’m different than most people…when I cross the finish line of a big race, I see that people are ecstatic, but I’m thinking about what I’m going to do tomorrow. It’s as If my Journey is everlasting and there is no finish line.

>Everybody comes to a point in their life when they want to quit. But it’s what you do at that moment that determines who you are.

>When you think that you are done you’re only 40% in to what your body’s capable of doing.that’s just the limits that we put on ourselves.

>I have never taken the easy way. I have had to fail several times before I succeed at something, and sometimes it was at no fault of my own. But I run, bike, all of the above because I hate it. By hating it and doing it I grow. I know that people will never understand that, but that is the way I live my life. 

>Why choose something you like to do? Because it’s fun? How do you grow as a person by doing fun things? You grow by testing yourself, by testing your mind to go where it doesn’t want to go. If you take the easy road, you get easy results. 

>You don’t expect anything out of yourself. If you take the hard road,and you make yourself get through it, you will expect more out of your everyday life. If you don’t achieve and let people keep you down, you will stay down. Not me…


>I choose to get back up. I choose to look the unwanted in the face. I choose to go after the unwanted with a smile. I choose to suffer. And from suffering I grow.
