David Goggins's ideas on Resilience, collected in one place with clear source context.

"The only way to get to the other side is to walk through the fire, one step at a time."
"You have to stay in the fight."
"I was the sum of all the obstacles I had overcome. And I was ready for more."

"You must callous your mind through doing the things you do not want to do, for that is where true focus and resilience are forged."
