“A prepared mind craves the worst conditions because it knows that pressure brings out its best and exposes almost everyone else.”
― David Goggins, Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within

“I’m haunted by my future goals, not my past failures. I’m haunted by what I may still become. I’m haunted by my own continued thirst for evolution.”

“May you always have lots of love to share,
Lots of good health to spare,
And lots of good friends who care.”

“Most people who attempt to recover from an acute injury see their physical therapist a few times a week for an hour at most, yet they make that therapist their leader and convince themselves that it is the therapist’s job to fix them. We can’t rely on others to get us to where we need to be.”
― David Goggins, Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within

“We all owe it ourselves to stand for something. Principles give us a foundation — solid ground we can trust and build on as we continue to redefine what's possible in our own lives. Sure, some will be put off by your dedication and level of effort. Others will call you obsessed or think that you've gone crazy. When they do, smile and say, "I'm not crazy. I'm just not you.”
― David Goggins, Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within
