17 76 yeah he made it through hell week, he can do anything mentally and phusically strong, but can he handle it isnt the question. The real question is does he want to be falsley accused of being a racist and a homophobe cause i sure as hell wouldnt lol. #trump 2nd term.
In Europe we also hear: "sexist", "Islamophobic", and "homophobic". The limits of liberal vocab. I suppose name calling is easier than constructing an argument.
Jocko changed my life. There is a realness in his testimony that is haunting and reaffirming that it comes from a real place. He makes me want to be a better MAN
If you don't know what youre path should be, then go and help others, make the world a better place and build yourself up to be stronger and wiser. This has been stated by Jocko many times and not only Jocko but so many life philosphers etc.
Jocko probably didn't realise it when he was recoding this, But 6 years later those words are still really helping people. I actually feel a lot better today after listening to that. Thanks
The more you face stressful situations the more you grow used to it and become desensitized. It almost becomes your partner. I had to learn this in my career early one. Don’t resist and avoid stressful situations....you’ll get used to it. One thing I never ever understand though is when people say: “if it’s something you can’t control then don’t worry about it” to me that’s when you start worrying about shit is when you can’t control it.
Engel888 same I’m now in my early thirties I feel like this would’ve geared my life so well and possibly prevented some big mistakes I made but oh well on to the future
@@jasonsalistean9192, same here. I'm 33 and if I'd been wise enough to seek out wisdom from men like Jocko Willink or Jordan Peterson in my 20s, I'd be in a much different place today. But I am extremely thankful to have found so many podcasts like Jocko's in my 30s and I've got much more life left to live. Jocko motivates me to "get after it"!
Thank you Instructor Willink for reminding me what is possible for me to accomplish. Gain my perspective, and detach from the fear and stress, and gain perspective. Not bad for an old airman to still learn at 62.
I love that you never let the memories of warriors past diminish or fade. This is such an important channel for a myriad of reasons. I'm so glad to have found it. My very best to you all.
Jocko, this video and other clips of yours got me through an abusive phase of a previous relationship. It let me use the verbally abusive rants as a way to practice my clarity is assessing what was being said to me and have the discipline to take responsibility for what I could and free myself of the rest which wasn’t about me or in my control. Your lessons really kept me going, knowing that through this I was growing and learning while my ex was losing to his ego. Your lessons let me get out with confidence in myself and the knowledge that I can handle difficult situations and take them on. Anyone reading, I would *never* recommend staying in an abusive situation because you think you’re growing though. I could have learned those lessons through adversity that served me, instead of letting my resources be wasted on that looney toon and still having his critical voice in the back of my head years later... Not worth. Anyway, thank you. Edit: typo
I'm slowly cobbling together this idea of how important mindset is; how it can literally make or break you, depending on how you decide to view things / your skill in controlling your view on things
From the fatherless: this is what young men need. Strong role models. The political charge against strong men is an assault on pillars that support communities. My dad abandoned his responsibilities before I could even mumble. He was weak. I will be a STRONG man, my future daughter and son will be alphas. Last semester in law school, thanks for helping me along the way Jocko! 💪🏽
When i feel sorry for myself or feel like i really have it bad, I'll listen to one of his tougher episodes like machete season . Really puts things in perspective.
I needed this. The amount of stress I’ve been dealing with over the past 6 months has been crazy! After reading two of your books and hearing all of the war stories and listening to you on this video, it helped me to put things in perspective. Thank you Jocko
Your words are inspiring. I recently had a set back at work and am finding your words and work ethic something great to focus on. I have started to share your podcast videos with my high school senior English special education students, many of them males and use them as writing prompts. Thank for putting into words the motivation and tough talk we all need to hear.
Mr willnik thank you for speaking the truth. For showing some flat out common (or now uncommon) sense. Seems like 2 or 3 near death experiences changed my out look, my attitude to my self and my life, the way I see and deal with others. It was a new perspective, it was looking honestly with in my self, learning some old truths. Taking responsibility for my self. Life is fatal, resistance is futile. So live work give love. Find your foundation stand firm on it. The rest is pure zero BS.
These videos are game changers no matter where your at mentally in life. Wow I happen to be letting my issues pile up for last 2 years. Weyfhubg on me hard. While trying to finish last 10 percent of the grind I kept slipping back down wrong path and boom another issue piled on now I got two mountains to climb at once. Thank you for reminding me I still have the right tools to do this. I don’t need to find new ones. I’ve been living and hiding the truth from myself. Thank you thank you. Serious.
Jocko, Sir. My brother, sir Daven. Dave. He told me "get out of my comfort zone." It led me towards listening, watching and utilizing tools from this great podcast. Each human is unique. But it feels as though you've spoken directly to my situation(s). Thank you man. I feel as though I owe you a favor. I've been through difficult situations. I believe you have too. Please, God bless you. From Jordan. Last thing. I know I might owe some Greeks something. Because I relate.
Jocko - I would love to know the number of lives you are changing with your message of self discipline.. I have no doubt that the numbers are staggering. A man amongst men! Thank you sir!
Jocko thanks for all the podcast and information you give to your listeners. It definitely helps my daily life. Keep doin what your doing and thank you for your services. \m/
I am new to Jacko. I have not listened to a lot of his podcast yet but this video was actually really helpful to me during a time I needed things out into perspective.
So I have a very stressful deadline this wednesday and I have been working hard to finish my project. It's a lot of data to go through but the good thing is, no matter what happens or how much i complete, i am better than i started out and I can now get up at 4am to work on ANYTHING. it puts all of my previous problems in perspective now that I have more time in the day to work on stuff.
Okay, first off, I'm sad af now, realizing that you don't have that many subscribers compared to some people. You should have at least a million! Like gosh, your videos, just amazing, you talk away about the things people do not talk about, about ways to work through it. deal with it. And I appreciate that. I really do. such a great guy.
Jocks willing, wow brother haha you have a way with words. these words can change a lot about someone. very happy you are doing the podcast, please keep it up.
@@costazurra Now if your said something similar such as special operations personnel. In a generic term, for the elite service members. Then I would’ve been quiet from the start.
So the more I listen it’s about being smarter - control emotions, think clearly, solve problems, serve others and find some leverage/win in each situation in life. No man is an island too.
He has never stopped learning, growing, and developing. He remains hungry. More, when you reach the higher echelon of your skill set, teach it..you will learn how little you really know…life is good…there are many Jocko’s out there…just pay attention..they usually are soft spoken and humble…they are always paying attention, and they listen😎
Kaos. N .Anarky oh thanks you, I can't wait to enlist into the army I'm leaning towards a national guard 68 W but I'm not sure. I'm also terrified I couldn't enlist because I have an astigmatism and had a surgery on my colon when I was a baby. But thank you for your service it's greatly appreciated
Uncle Rich Thank you. Well, that can raise a few flags, medically. All you can do is proceed forward and see if you can get medically cleared. Not positive what a 68W is, but either way you're motivated. Keep pushing and try different branches. The colon issue shouldn't hurt your enlistment. You can always deny that you have had any medical issues. Vision may be a different factor, however it is a standard eye test that is given. Never hesitate to ask questions from any recruiter and try different recruiting stations for perspective. Good luck and drive on!
Very easy to say to embrace stress that you can't control. As to detach from it more realistic to do. Step back. Breath, the look up & out see what's going on. Yes definatelt use discipline to stress you can control, I fully agree with you on my second point. Finally, don't worry about you can't control.
Once you are doing all that you know to do... serenity is just the quality of not beating yourself to death over stuff you can't be responsible for. (you can't know what was never taught or available)... ;o)
Like always this is pretty solid information and is definitely something that I overlooked in my younger years of life. Every person ( especially strong men ) needs to understand how to deal with stress and how to counteract the effects of someone trying to attack you mentally and emotionally its a necessary skill in order to be a complete and effective warrior in all aspects of life and service. That being said its one hell of a bitch to master especially if there's no one who is directly guiding you through these "exercises" and "tests" and god damn fucking "quizzes" and shit.
