The author shares a reflective experience of running around Lake Hawea while listening to David Gogginsâ "Can't Hurt Me." Initially skeptical about Gogginsâ style, the author finds common ground in Gogginsâ perspectives, particularly the 'cookie jar' conceptâgathering personal wins for motivation and resilience. Goggins advocates for a 'calloused mind' through repeated exposure to discomfort, suggesting that physical training can cultivate mental toughness. These insights resonate deeply during the reflective journey, emphasizing the value of mental preparation and resilience through past achievements.
"Collecting and recognizing wins from throughout our livesâthose 'cookies'âallows us to refuel our motivation during moments of self-doubt and break negativity spirals."
"Gogginsâ concept of the 'calloused mind' emphasizes the importance of repeatedly putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations to develop mental toughness and resilience."
