"Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds" is a memoir by David Goggins, a former Navy SEAL and ultramarathon runner. In the book, Goggins shares his story of overcoming adversity and achieving success through hard work, determination, and a strong mindset.

Goggins emphasizes the importance of developing a strong, determined mindset. He argues that our minds have the power to shape our reality and that we can overcome any obstacle if we have the right attitude and apply our will to achieve what you want.

"Pain unlocks a secret doorway in the mind, one that leads to both peak performance, and beautiful silence."

Most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. When your mind is telling you that you’re done, completely exhausted and not able to go any further, you’re only at about 40% of your potential. When you get to the 40%, you need to tap into a hidden reserve or energy and motivation. Keep fighting when you feel like you’re done, and that’s when you unlock the remaining 60% of your potential.

Many of us make excuses for their failures or setbacks, and instead to focus on finding solutions and ways to move forward. Instead we must always be honest with ourselves and to take ownership of their actions and decisions. If you want something, you have to go after it. Don’t wait for someone else to give you the opportunity. Don’t wait for someone else to help you.

"If you want to master the mind and remove your governor, you’ll have to become addicted to hard work. Because passion and obsession, even talent, are only useful tools if you have the work ethic to back them up."

In the book, Goggins discusses the idea of lifting the governor (in mechanics this refers to a limiter / control system usually used in combustion engines). He emphasises that one must push beyond their comfort zone in order to grow and improve. He believes that we should embrace discomfort and challenge ourselves in order to become stronger and more resilient.

This will help you when things get tough. You’ll learn to work hard even when you don’t want to. That will pay off on your path.

Do not let external circumstances or other people dictate your life's outcomes. We have the power to shape our own destiny and that we should embrace that power and take control of our lives.

You need to learn how to harness talent, hard work, passion, and obsession to relentlessly pursue your goals. To do this well, you need to master your mind. Without mastery of your mind, you cannot unlock your full potential.

In summary, we all have the power to shape our own lives and that by developing a strong mindset and embracing discomfort, we can achieve our goals and overcome any challenge.
