David Goggins in a Stall

When you're on that brutal ascent, head spinning, instruments whirling, and you see that impending drop just a few pulls ahead, here's what David Goggins would say:

Listen the $&c* up. This hill is nothing. You are made for this. Every step you've taken, every mile you've logged has prepared you for this exact moment. It's time to dig deep and remember who the hell you are. That person ahead? They are not your competition. Your competition is your reflection in the mirror, the voice in your head that tells you to quit.

You have faced tougher f%@@#ng battles. You have conquered more daunting f%@@#ng challenges. This stall is just another chapter in your story. Embrace the fear. Harness the stress. Suffering is the true test of your character, and you thrive in it.

Visualize that finish line of your check ride. Picture yourself crushing every maneuver, leaving nothing but dust for that weaker self of yours to eat. Every stride you take is one more step toward victory, toward becoming the best version of yourself.

Remember why you started. Harness every ounce of pain, every bead of sweat, and channel it into unstoppable momentum. You are relentless. You are a warrior. You will not be broken by this barrier, or any obstacle. Rise up. Fly over. Now, drive those knees, pump those arms, and get up that hill.

Stay hard!
