This book is not just a memoir of a U.S Navy SEALs. It is a story of a man where poverty, prejudice, physical abuse and failure coloured his days and haunted his nights. But with his will power, self-discipline, mental toughness and hard work, David Goggins transformed himself from depressed, overweight young man with no future into one of the world\’s toughest and elite military forces and one of the world\’s top endurance athletes. He proved that our body can handle anything if we let our mind keep up. He didn\’t let his desire for comfort rule him. He didn\’t find excuses from his weakness and failure to stay out of the fight, he used them as his fuel to win the fight. 

\” The only way we can change is to be real with ourselves\”
     \”You are giving up instead of getting hard! Tell the truth about the real reasons for your limitations.And you will turn that negativity, which is real into jet fuel.Those odds stacked against you Will become a damn runaway.\”      
  \”It\’s okay to be cruel to yourself as long as you realise you\’re doing it to become better.\”  
   \”Victory doesn\’t always mean you came first place.It can mean you have finally overcome a lifelong fear or obstacle that made you surrender in the past.\”  
                 \”It is not the external voice that will break you down.Its what you tell yourself that matters.\”      
          \”LIFE is a HEAD GAME\”

This book is really mind blowing. It is one of my all time favourites. As a blooming teenager, I have read self help and motivational books. Reading this book gave me a whole new experience. It unlocked my power to master my mind.

When I find excuses to give up on something, a thought suddenly pops up in my head, \”WHAT WILL GOGGINS DO??\”
