Favourite David Goggins Quotes

Below are some of my favourite David Goggins quotes.


“It’s so easy to be great nowadays because everyone is so weak. If you have any mental toughness, if you have any fraction of self discipline and the ability to not want to do it but still do it, get through all the things you hate to do, then on the other side is greatness!”

Self talk and visualization are the keys to fighting negativity.”

“Motivation is crap. Motivation comes and goes. When you are driven, whatever is in front of you will get destroyed.”

Everyday, do something that makes you uncomfortable.”

“Most people who are critizing and judging haven’t even tried what you failed.”
