David Goggins has become someone I listen to on a regular basis. He doesn't just give motivational speeches.. You can see him actually out there putting in the work.
He runs his miles. He lifts his weights. He does what he says he does.
He is disciplined.
Most of all, he is uncommon amongst uncommon men.
When you look at Goggins, you see just how much he's risen above others in the same field. Whether you lump him in with motivational speakers or marathon runners or navy seals.
You see that his level of drive, passion and work ethic is simply uncommon amongst even the highest level of achievers.
How to Be Uncommon Amongst Uncommon Men
Being uncommon amongst the best of the best in your field is very difficult. It's not something you're going to achieve overnight.
In fact, it's a lifestyle.
It's something that you need to embody every single day when you wake up. There are no ifs and or buts about it. You wake up, you know what work needs to be done and you do those things.
Want to be the best Hive User you can be? How about the best writer on LeoFinance? Being uncommon amongst uncommon people means being the absolute best version of yourself... every single day.
Goggins often talks about this "list" he created. A list of shit that he didn't want to do. We all have lists like that, don't we?
One thing I've learned in life is that smart people tend to know what the right thing to do is. They know what things are most important to get done when they wake up.
They know what eating healthy looks like. They know how much cardio to do in order to lose weight.
But more often than not, they skip it. They choose the easier path of not doing those things and instead, they run out and do things that they know aren't benefiting their dreams, goals and ambitions in life.
It's crazy when you see a smart and lazy person. You know that they have that list of things but you also know that they're actively choosing to ignore it. Don't be one of those people. Make your list and then ATTACK the list. Do those things without hesitation and watch your life improve exponentially.
Bio: Hey there! I'm a former Seeking Alpha contributor, turned Web3 fanatic. I used to write about stocks and Bitcoin on SA and have recently re-discovered Hive. Feel free to give me a follow and track along as I work day and night to achieve one of my childhood dreams of owning a V10 Audi R8! and some other, more "important" financial goals!
