Never Finished

David Goggins

It ain't your fault that you were dealt a bad hand, but...it is your responsibility. How long will you allow your past to hold you back before you finally take control of your future?

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

This draws a line between fault and responsibility. Nobody chooses the hardships they're dealt, but the speaker insists how you respond is still yours to own. The question challenges the listener to stop letting old pain dictate their future.
