to be the GOAT, the process is thought, word, and then deed:
1. first, you should think like the GOAT. this (probably) involves control, territory, and mating.
2. second, you should speak like the GOAT (which might be good, or it might be ba-a-a-a-a-ahd).
3. third, you need to act-as-if you're the GOAT. it's (basically) a cliffhanger. tar those heels.
...but... here's the best-kept secret: the true GOAT makes fun of him/her-self as a GOAT, in self-depreciating fashion. he/she then upholds others as the GOAT, allowing them to wallow in the GOATy, responsibility-filled world of the champion -- who (naturally) everyone-else wants to displace.
the true GOAT is more-like a shadow-GOAT: s/he's not in it for the glory.
the GOAT of GOATing will blend-into the backdrop... but will occasionally step-up and display a moment (or two?) of complete GOATness, only to disappear, once again, back into the herd of sheep.
that, my friends, is the GOAT of GOATing.
