“It won’t always go your way, so you can’t get trapped in this idea that just because you’ve imagined a possibility for yourself that you somehow deserve it. Your entitled mind is dead weight. Cut it loose. Don’t focus on what you think you deserve. Take aim on what you are willing to earn!”

― David Goggins, Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds

Listened to David Goggins on Joe Rogan the other day and so I have a lot of his quotes and ideas swirling around in my head.

I don’t think he gets everything right, but I think he might have the idea above right (and a few others).

The idea that we don’t deserve comfort or good luck or money or success.

That pushing through the uncomfortable moments (even creating them on purpose) is what pushes us to places where we can do and be more.

Why push through though?

To be of more service with love.

I think that’s the trick/part that doesn’t get mentioned enough – we are should push through so that we can help more.

We get one chance here to do the most good we can. And we can’t do that if we’re out of shape, have spent all our money and haven’t read a book in a couple of years.

To be ready for the moments that matter we must have pushed through and built a better us.

Make it a great day.

Jake
