The reason it’s important to push hardest when you want to quit the most is because it helps you callous your mind. It’s the same reason why you have to do your best work when you are the least motivated. That’s why I loved PT in BUD/S and why I still love it today. Physical challenges strengthen my mind so I’m ready for whatever life throws at me, and it will do the same for you.

Push will wear you out. When you’re pushing to do something, you only got so much willpower. But when you’re pulled, when there’s something larger than yourself that you’re here to serve and that you believe you’re made for, that brings energy.

Sometimes, you have to push yourself to achieve something in life.

if you are going to be pushed you had better jump

the harder you work,the harder it is to surrender.

From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

The fear of failure isn’t an easy thing to sit with, but it’s also what pushes you to try your hardest no matter the cost.

The hard part is getting to that point, because the ticket to victory often comes down to bringing your very best when you feel your worst.

I saw that to do exceptionally well you have to push your limits and that, if you push your limits, you will crash and it will hurt a lot. You will think you have failed — but that won’t be true unless you give up.

Push yourself beyond when you think you are done with what you have to say. […] It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out.

When you push people where they don’t want to be pushed, you will face even more resistance.

When you feel like quitting, just do five more: 5 more minutes, 5 more pages, 5 more steps. Then repeat. Sometimes you can break through and keep going, but even if you can’t, you ended five ahead. Tell yourself that you will quit tomorrow, but not today.

Fight and push harder for what you believe in, you’d be surprised, you are much stronger than you think.

If you’re going to get better, you have to push yourself. If you push yourself, you’re going to fall. If you’re not falling, you’re not pushing. Falling is part of getting better.
