Cant Hurt Me David Goggins Novels & Stories

“Any suggestions to help me? You know what it is like.” He nudges my arm with his shoulder. “I would sit down and talk to David. Let him know he shouldn’t blame himself nor think of himself as useless. However, I must warn that I don’t think he will listen to you, though. He has a strong since of pride, and I can tell it has taken a heavy hit with this situation.”

“Next time, bleed smarter.” He said that like pain was a language I hadn’t learned yet. There were obstacle runs through wired fields, sprints on gravel paths until my soles blistered, strength drills that left me retching, and blindfolded map puzzles I had to memorize in two minuoverallst. I fell often.

“I’m not sad. I just remember my struggle—how I had to exercise diligently, train hard, even go back to school to prove I wasn’t that ugly fat woman.” “Remember this! One day David will beg for your love.” “It’s only a matter of days now.”

I got up going to my room. We didn't talk much after that. I have been training constantly with Beta David, learning my new found strengths, no one was willing to spar with me except him, which I didn't mind, he was the best here and I trusted him with my life. After training today David and I went out for a run. It's crazy to shift then run on my hind legs still, him on all fours but I beat him in every race, it was exhilarating to run like this, Callie was faster than ever before, we were so strong now too, I mean we always were but this was different.

What is wrong with you Dawn. I'll just train, it will make me feel better, stronger. Yes if I become strong, he can't hurt me right?. I started with crunches, then butterflies, tumbles, squats, hydrants, push-ups, splits, bridge, pull-ups, leg raises, and skipping.

he said quietly. Dax lunged. I did not run this time. I charged. I lasted twelve seconds before Dax put me down again. But this time, when I hit the ground, I did not stay there. I pushed myself up. And up again. And again. Riven called off the exercise when I could not lift my arms anymore. I collapsed onto my knees, chest heaving, tears and mud mixing on my face. He walked toward me slowly. "You almost died three times."

I bawled at the intensity that made everyone freeze at their place except David as he was used to my rage. "Why the hell do you want to kill him, Vincenzo?" David yelled back at me making me furious as once again that image flickered in my brain. "This good-for-nothing piece of shit tried to touch what's mine" I almost screamed because of both the rage and some unknown pain. "No…no…Mr. Dantzler, I didn't touch…what's yours" That bastard stammered while coughing blood and holding his back head with his hands. "You dared to lie, you freaking cunt" I growled and again tried to come out of the hold of David, Mr. Parkinson, and Riyaz as he is also holding me now in my place.

I smiled and took the container of water that they are brought along with him I had forgotten to bring my own container and I immediately up to down the entire bottle as if I was in healing the water inside of it before thanking him once again for it two years that passed since that's terrible incidents initially had spent sometimes crying out my eyeballs unable to get over the fact that my mate had chosen another woman over me who he thought would be most suitable for him and so when I return back home I told myself that I would become the strongest with that I told and I will push beyond my limits.

I moved to the bench press next. Threw on more weight than usual—nothing I couldn’t handle, but enough to strain. Enough to feel alive. I lost myself in the reps. Thirty. Forty. More. Every press up felt like purging something. Guilt. Doubt. Helplessness. That lingering image of Abriel flinching away… fading.

Gail, steady and insightful, became his sounding board, gently challenging excuses and encouraging self-reflection. Tshepo began documenting his journey in a journal, tracking both setbacks and small victories. He wrote about mornings when he resisted temptation, nights when he spent quality time with family instead of chasing empty thrills, and moments of clarity where he recognized patterns of self-sabotage. Each entry, though sometimes painful, served as a mirror—forcing him to confront truth and measure progress.
