David Goggins - The Man in the Mirror

What do your really want? Every morning when you wake up what is the first thing you think about doing. I'm not talking about work, family etc. I'm talking about personal ambition. What is it that you desire to do? Think about that. Then think about how long you have thought about doing it. Next, think about what you have done in the last year, 2, 3 or 4 years to get you closer to that goal?
...
You will only truly want something when you work everyday at getting that something. What I am trying to say is that if you wake up in the morning and your true desire is to run a marathon, if you don't think about that everyday and work toward that everyday, you will never get there.
...
Whatever it is that you want to do, work for it. It has to become a part of your daily life. Until then, it will remain a desire, or a goal. You have to be upfront with those around you. Let them know what you are expecting to do, what you want to do. If they don't understand or support it, so what?!? It is your goal and your desire! Do what you have to do to get there.

When you do. It will be the best moment in your life. Most likely you will find that those who truly care about you want you to succeed. They want to help you acheive. Your mind has to overtake you. You have to be in constant pursuit.
...
Everyday when I see my reflection. I see a man who is not yet satisfied. What does your reflection say to you?
