Level Up Your Life: Lessons from Goggins & Kwik (Episode 22 - The Level Up Edition)

In this episode of the Mind Game podcast, we dig into the lessons of David Goggins and his book “Never Finished” and touch on Jim Kwik’s book “Limitless”.  Join us as we delve into the mindset shifts and practical strategies that can help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

We explore adaptability and persistence considering the importance of constantly readjusting and recalibrating to achieve personal growth. We shift our perspective to understand the value of perseverance, even when plans don't go as expected. And we learn that the level-up is only reached by going through the challenge, not around it. 

We consider Self-talk and Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs) recognizing the impact of automatic negative thoughts on limiting your potential.  We look at how Goggins repurposes negative self-talk to overcome mental barriers. We pause to appreciate that the most important conversations you'll ever have are the ones you have with yourself.

Incremental Progress is still progress and cultivating the mindset of "one more step" to keep moving forward, even in the face of adversity. It’s not the giant steps you take it’s the consistent small steps that lead to significant achievements over time.

 

As Roosevelt shared years ago and Brene Brown has reminded us more recently, the credit belongs to the person in the arena.  The one committed to daring greatly. To take action.  Goggins reinforces that it’s the valiance of the attempt not always the outcome.  Shifting your focus from outcomes to the effort and determination put into pursuing your goals enables you to appreciate the process and the journey, rather than seeking external validation.

We pause for a quick consideration of my current listen – Jim Kwik’s book “Limitless” and recognize the importance of continuous learning for personal growth and realize that growth includes brain health, nutrition, hydration, sleep and more. To be resilient your body and mind need nourishment.

 

Transformation lies in the decision to begin to step into the level-up.  As the lessons from Goggins and Kwik remind us embracing adaptability, shifting your mindset, and prioritizing continuous learning, you can level up your life and achieve your goals. Remember, greatness is not tied to outcomes but to the valiance of your attempt. Keep pushing forward, one step at a time, and transformation will come to you.

You are who you’ve been waiting for.
