From Suffering

Because I'm going to say the exact opposite of what the world Today's world is saying So, we read a bunch of books nowadays As humans we - We want to find out how to be Someone else What we don't do is we don't go inside So literally turn yourself inside out Like we're writing a book every day of our life's But we never read that book You have to look inside of yourself to see what you really want? What are you passionate about? We use these words and little phrases of "only the strong survive" And all this other crap They are all just fucking words I get so tired of hearing people just talking Like right now, someone may think; "Goggins just talking." You don't know me So, when I speak, I speak from passion I speak from experience I speak from suffering I speak from suffering The only way you're ever going To get to the other side of this journey Is you have got to suffer To grow To grow you must suffer I speak from suffering Some people will get it and some people won't Some people will get it and some people won't But they have to see what their journey is to start their journey Some people will get it and some people won't Several people live to be a hundred years old And they have great lives And they have great kids and those kids go to college And all that sort of stuff But somewhere in their lives there was a point Where they had a decision to make They can go left or right on this path They can go left or right on this path They can go left or right on this path They can go left or right on this path Left was the easy route Right was the hard route A lot of people take the easy route And they had a good life that way But the better life was going to the right side And you may have 20 years of pain and suffering to get past it But a lot of us die never truly starting our journey And you got to start your journey It may suck, but it will Come out the other side, we're coasting I speak from suffering I speak from suffering The only way you're ever going To get to the other side of this journey Is you have got to suffer To grow To grow you must suffer I speak from suffering Everyday we're seeing who we are as people When I was growing up I lied for people to accept me because I didn't accept myself So I would make up stories, so you would accept me into your world Everything I did was for someone else to like me It wasn't until I started reading my own book About how pathetic I was as a human being I could blame my dad, I could blame kids at school I could blame having health issues ADD With my mom not being around Great mom but she was doing here thing I could blame a lot of people And that's the book I was reading and I put it off on everybody else It wasn't until I said "You know what for me to fix this I got to read What the fuck is wrong with David Goggins." And not blame anybody Read my book, it's okay I'm afraid of my shadow How can I overcome that? Go in the military, get your ass kicked Do things that you hate to do Be uncomfortable every fucking day of your life Roger that I'm not the smartest kid in the world Okay, instead of somebody saying; "Oh no, you're smart. Oh no no, don't say that to yourself." I said to myself; "I'm a dumb motherfucker" Okay, Roger that How you get smarter? Educate yourself So, the things that we run from we're running from the truth We're running from the truth, man So, the only way I became successful was going towards the truth As painful, as brutal, as it is It changed me It allowed me to become In my own right Who I am today I speak from suffering I speak from suffering The only way you're ever going To get to the other side of this journey Is you have got to suffer To grow To grow you must suffer I speak from sufferin
