Can’t Hurt Me is a great book by David Goggins that I just listened to and I was extremely impressed with all he was able to accomplish to this point in his life. It was a fun journey through some incredible events and a book I recommend everyone take the time to either read or listen to on Audible. There was a lot to digest throughout his story, but something that stood out to me that I wanted to take some time to expand upon here was the idea of suffering to grow or become great. Through out his life Goggins has been exposed and exposed himself to extreme suffering and discomfort from being abused as a child, to seeing people killed, to facing racism, to multiple hell weeks during BUDS, and much much more. He believes that through all this suffering it opened him up to some incredible growth and understanding about his abilities and his life, as well as unlocking more of his potential through each experience. As I listened to his story, I thought about that idea and that concept. While my life has not had nearly as much suffering, nor have I come close to the level of suffering he faced, the difficult choices and moments of discomfort I’ve battled through have always led to success and breakthroughs.
As a whole our society has lost the ability to battle through discomfort and suffer long enough to find success. We’ve become trapped by the idea that things should happen quickly and instantly due to advancements in technology that have made us weaker and soft. Few people really know what it means to pursue something through suffering. Most people give up on their dreams and goals the second they face any adversity or suffer a setback. However, my experience has been that in those moments of discomfort, suffering and failure we unlock things within our minds and abilities that if we choose to dig in a little deeper we move that much closer to a breakthrough or ultimate success.
Think about times in your life when you have suffered. Think about things that caused you physical or emotional pain. What were you doing? Why were you there suffering? Did you quit or keep going? If you pushed through the suffering, what happened on the other side?
