"I roamed this planet Earth for several years hating on people, judging people, and, worse yet, putting titles on people! I walked around thinking that people who did extraordinary things and exceeded perceived limits were either crazy people of just gifted and blessed. This kind of mindset allowed me to live my life and not think twice about trying to pull off becoming an amazing human being myself.
A lot of times in life it is much easier to give yourself a get-out-of-jail-free card by putting a title on a motherfucker who just worked his or her ass off for their success! For some reason, a lot of people either don’t want to give them credit, don’t want to believe it is true or just flat out can’t imagine what a normal, everyday human being is truly capable of doing!
The truth of the matter is that most of us are fucking scared! Scared to believe that there are normal, everyday human beings out there who are exceeding limits way beyond what the normal mind is able to conceive. What we are scared of is realizing what it is saying about us- the ones who just sit back and watch these people do the “impossible!”
In sports today, there is a lot of talk about “load management.” A lot of us apply that same principle to our personal, everyday lives. We scale back and falsely manage our own expectations of ourselves.
Where people think I am crazy is that I found out through a lot of self-reflection and introspection that I had been load-managing my entire life up until I was 24 years old. What I then decided to do was to mentally start doing more motherfucking sets. I started maxing out more in my life.
The first thing you have to do is stop looking at yourself as simply normal. Once you do that, you can read a book about anybody, watch a movie about anybody who has done exceptional things and realize “I too have the ability to do the same thing, maybe even better!”
If you ever catch yourself questioning or putting a title on someone who has exceeded perceived human limits, stop for a second and think....what is it saying about me to question them?
I’m not crazy, I’m just not like you." - David Goggins
