Reality can be brutal when all of your excuses are stripped away and you are exposed for exactly who and what you have become, but the truth can also… - David Goggins

Believe it or not, most people prefer delusion. They blame others or bad luck or chaotic circumstance.

When you’re climbing a mountain or involved in any other difficult task, the only way to free yourself from the struggle is to finish it. So why bitch about it when it gets hard? Why hope it will end soon when you know it will end eventually? When you complain and your mind starts groping for the eject button, you are not bringing your best self to the task, which means you are actually prolonging the pain.

When you find yourself having frivolous conversations or becoming ensnared in activities that don’t better you in any way, move the fuck on!
