 Once you transform yourself, and even though I'm still, I'm not running from myself, I'm constantly facing myself. I'm constantly battling myself. I'm not running from them anymore. I used to, but now I'm constantly battling them. So now what happens is, once you get to point in your life where you're able to be on a podcast or be on a TV show and tell everybody how fucked up you are, I will answer any question you want about me. Anything I did, anything bad, good, ugly, I will tell you. When you get to that point in your life, that's where your real journey begins. And you no longer have to have a small victory to keep you going. You now realize what your purpose in life is. And you realize, oh, this shit's just part of it. But at first you need all these different tactics to keep you going, cause you haven't figured it out yet. Once you figure out that you're in a race amongst billions of people that live in this world, you're in a race by yourself. You have a purpose and it's your purpose, not everybody else's purpose. It is your purpose and only your purpose and it's your race. So then you're like, hey man, I'm doing my thing. I'm doing the best of my ability. What's next? There's no longer these small increments to get through life. Cause once you figure out why you're here, it just becomes a process. You know, it goes with something I, AJ and I were talking about this earlier and it was someone, there was a video of you getting the award from the VFW, it was posted. And obviously it choked me up. I'm sure it choked AJ up. And there was something that you said in there that was, that I just, I loved and I just, I just don't, obviously we don't see enough of it anymore. And what it was, was that there's a paraphrase that a lot of people who live in this world who don't know what they're doing in life, what's going on, they're asked from their elbow and they got nothing and they're confused. And they don't know what it's about. And, but it's about doing it for the guy next to them. And with so much of all this other influence, it just seems that people are, their values aren't being held up to any sort of standards. And so now they're become wishy-washy on even what they stand for as people. Well, of course we have anxiety going through the roof and suicides going through the roof because if you don't have any sort of foundation to stand on, then of course you're gonna be sitting through anxiety. And something as simple as do it for the man next to you. Do it for mankind, do it for humankind. Right. It's fantastic. I mean, would you be able to speak a bit about that? Yeah, that was a moment for me, the VFW where I got the Americanism Award. And what you saw there for me, it shocked me also. I got choked up, teared up. I was trying to thank my mom. And what happened was all the stuff that you all have heard about my life growing up, it's at the surface. That's just real, you know? And at that moment, it flashed through my head about the journey I had to go through to get to that point to do that. And along that journey, I figured out myself and the biggest trophy I'll ever get in my entire life, like I turned on the book deal, which we'll talk about soon, the biggest trophy that I ever got in my entire life was me, was really figuring out me. And when I was up on that stage, I realized that. I realized it's not about money. It's not about fame. It's not about being accepted by your peers and everybody else. It's about figuring out who I am and being happy with who the fuck I am. Even though I'm gonna be judged for all these things, being able to put a middle finger up to everybody and say, this is David Goggins. And to get to that point, it felt great. And that was all about, honestly, we have to give back. We have to be able to go through our journeys in life, figure out who we are and help the person beside you. Figure that shit out. Figure out how they can do that themselves.
