COT:
David Goggins’ 40% Rule. See full summary of this concept here –> https://movemequotes.com/40-percent-rule/
David Goggins’ book, Can’t Hurt Me. In it, he discusses a military mindset that guides his life and allows him to tap into potential that most people only dream of being able to tap into. He calls it The 40 Percent Rule and it’s about “callousing” the mind so that we can push our bodies further than we normally would. It’s about understanding that most of us are wired (literally) to stop way before we’ve approached our true max and about learning how to work every day to quiet the mind so that we can tap into those huge stores of potential that most of us never get to taste. For details, please welcome the words of Mr. Goggins himself (see link above).
