Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within

by David Goggins

I live with a Day One, Week One mentality. This mentality is rooted in self-discipline, personal accountability, and humility. While most people stop when they’re tired, I stop when I am done. In a world where mediocrity is often the standard, my life’s mission is to become uncommon amongst the uncommon.

to overcome all obstacles and bump up against the outer reaches of your capabilities is the pinnacle. In those rare, fleeting moments when you are washed in the sense of infinite possibility and overwhelmed with glory, everything they ever did to you or put in front of you—all the knockdowns, breakdowns, and fuck-yous and every bit of the pain, doubt, and humiliation—is fucking worth it. But the only way to get there is to continually seek greatness and always be willing to try one more time.
