      My favorite book is: "Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds" By David Goggins. This book is about the authors life experience in how there was an obstacle with every turn but he did not make excuses, he defied what the "rules" were set for many individuals in his life situation. He came from a broken family, with a horrible living situation and through many challenges he became a United States Navy Seal. This book is very relatable to me and my life, in the way that I felt that there have been many obstacles in my life. I come from a broken home, I helped raise and supported my family while in college full time working 4-5 different jobs in a given week. I have felt the push back of the obstacles and I have had times in my life where I just want to give up. This book also has portions where it is self help. It brings challenges for the reader to follow through with, the first challenge being "write down limiting factors, and why you feel they are limiting? How can you over come these factors?" This book shows the authors challenges that he went through and it makes you think, " If this guy can go through life altering events and still be what many inspire to even come close to, what is stopping me from being the ideal human I can be?"
