The quote and my shift in perspective
"Only you can master your mind, which is what it takes to live a bold life filled with accomplishments most people consider beyond their capability."
I didn't know David Goggins' mentality had promises like these. I would often think it was about enduring pain without purpose, which made me question if I had it in me. I feel much more confident in my ability to practice the ideas in the book if it promises accomplishments. I thought I'd be the forever loser, and that's what the idea in the book was about.

What you said is true for most people, but not 100 percent. There will always be the 1 percent of us who are willing to put in the work to defy the odds.
The horse and rider must work together. This means we consider our actions beforehand; we bring as much thinking as possible to a situation before we make a decision. But once we decide what to do, we loosen the reins and enter action with boldness and a spirit of adventure.
Therefore, your first step toward the rational is always inward. You want to catch that Emotional Self in action. For this purpose, you must reflect on how you operate under stress. What particular weaknesses come out in such moments—the desire to please, to bully or control, deep levels of mistrust? Look at your decisions, especially those that have been ineffective—can you see a pattern, an underlying insecurity that impels them?
We go through the motions, pretending to reflect on what we did. But with the passage of time, the pleasure principle rises and we forget what small part in the mistake we ascribed to ourselves.
