Chapter 7 of the book covers Goggins’s laws of nature. In the chapter, Goggins describes the laws he lives by in order to make himself hard and callous his mind. The laws of nature consist of the following:
- You will be made fun of;
- You will feel insecure;
- You may not be the best all the time;
- You may be the only black, white, Asian, Latino, female, male, gay, lesbian or [fill in your identity here] in a given situation; and
- There will be times when you feel alone.
Get over it! Goggins reminds readers that the mind is the most powerful tool in our arsenals. You have to be open-minded to access your full potential and get past pain in everyday life.
