Life Changing Advice For When You're At a Low Point In Your Life. Jocko. 

Go get it!

You got this mate 👍

This is a road I have walked, Michal, and it sounds as if you are at that point in the evolution of grief when the fog starts to clear a little. When you begin to be able to tell yourself that it is time to stop just existing and to try and start living again, that is a definite turning point. There will still be times when that grief comes hammering back in and knocks you off your feet for a while but the best advice I ever got after I lost my wife was, when you are able, to expand your life so that your grief is not the only thing in it.

U got this man, one day at a time

I am on this road myself. The best I think I can do most days is just keep living and hope at some point I will get to the point where I want to keep living. Not there yet, but somehow the days are getting a bit easier.

Jocko says, "Home depot...Good."

We are praying for you...God is with you..trust Him

I had testical tumor in 1998 ... hang in there bro ❤

Today ended well and i looked up and thanked god for making me go on a path that makes me feel better. i prayed for it earlier and now i harvest the power of the prayer. God bless you from Norway!

Grew up everything. Been hiding frkm life and not doing anything. Im 37 and still act like child that havent taken responsibility of my life. Homeless, jobless and broke.

❤Prayer works

@@lynnmelo now is the time brother. It's never too late.

@@TheXenetiX thanks a lot. Much love from India.

That's easy to say when you're the devil, and he sure was.

@@JesseSprague-cc3sy It much easier said than done. That's for sure.

I have no dreams.

Today was one of those days for me bro but I’m here right now at the gym

what works for me is not worry about performance as in weight lifted in dogshit days... rather focus on text book form and sensation, control.. works super for get in the grove as you mention

They say just showing up to the gym is the hardest part.

100% true. I’ve had hundreds of workouts that started like absolute dog shit but ended awesome.

Exactly and that's why I always remind myself how happy and good I feel after a few minutes of lifting.

You have to be your very best at the darkest moment. if you can't see the light, you must be the light. It's like the ocean. Everyone love colorful reef with warm water, plenty of life and amazing creatures. You can dive and there is still plenty of sunlight, so you can admire everything. But if you are thrown in the middle of deep ocean, under the water, where there is no light, pressure is so high that you can't breathe, and you can't see shit, that is scary. But still this is the place which is most unknow to mankind. Has so many amazing creatures and things to be found. It's clod, dark, wet, and scary but what you find there will stay with you for the rest of your life and only few will understand what you mean. With coral reef, yeah it's warm, colorful, bright and amazing, but many people have videos to remind themself how it was back then.

Great to hear you’re doing well, brother! Keep working on yourself, and God will work his magic 🙌

Congratulations my friend. You were blessed. Evil exposed BEFORE the marriage, kids, house, 401k, & the life blood of money. Spoiler Alert: AWALT. Divinity favored you, don't f*ck up. ;)

Sabotage a country by making its women child and responsibility hating consumerist, narcissistic freaks chasing 80-90 iq criminals or millionaires at a 1:100 female:millionaire ratio. Pretty great plan. TV and phones to beam it constantly, fantastic!

Money/success > women Focus on yourself and your growth

@@spark556 I'm not asking for your opinion. Commenting on what happens to a society with these characteristics and sigma grindsetters.

You weren't very disciplined from 1yrs old to 5. And you were the freest kid in the world. Remember that.

@@cheyennealvis8284 yeah but then again, someone had to be discilplined in order for you to maintain that freedom and inocence... Also, remember that.

@@cheyennealvis8284 yes you were, you just didnt realize

@@nunoflorido582 that too lol

​@@cheyennealvis8284 behave like a 1-5yo at age 30 and see how far you make it in life

Happy for you G .. keep it going!

@@user-mq5po1vv1e Thanks brother.

Get it!

So it is like just surrender to job ignoring what that job do wrong in nature or humans and just do it for your success? I am now stuck

Right on brother

Glad to hear you're doing better brother, take it step by step and remember to listen to your body so you don't go overboard - You got this!!

God bless you, brother. Stay strong. I hope your health will improve.

Wishing you strength brother.

Just wanted to comment and say keeping “walking” brother. Take your time but work hard. All things great, comes to those who wait…faith without work is dead!

Stay strong. I’m sorry to say this but your wife is a sellout, she has no integrity and is showing her true colors that are ugly! Get rid of her and start a new life without her. You will find a much better woman that will accept you for who you are today 👍

Really does work, walking is my form of meditation.

Luke 17:14 says “as they walked (went), they were healed. I basically terrorize my body for the first 40 years of my life. Encounter Christ in 2007 reading the Word every day. I started brisk walking in 2009 every day for five years I believe it completely healed my body. Eventually I started running and triathlon, since have done 5 or so marathons and a bunch of Ironmans as well. I hated walking when I first started but after about 2 months I wouldn’t miss for nothing! God bless you, thanks for sharing 😊

Yes.I am a Professional Polo player. Same exact thing.

Good job man!

And when the whole life is a critical problem...

@@fishlestat prioritize and execute

Exactly what I've told people - identity the root causes of the situation then sort them out one problem at a time - not all at once!

I love that for you

Low 6 figure income? I haven't got a penny to my name, or a job and chronic illness left me disabled about 7 years ago. I'm working on my illness and improving very slowly but what do you recommend I do when I'm better? I genuinely have no idea where to start. Relationships can wait till much later I'm talking getting my feet back on the ground.

In my experience, a woman doesn’t up and file to divorce. We, as men, have a ton of blindspots

Insane that our culture motivates and incentivizes women to leave their men. Absolute bullshit. Obviously there were probably things you could have done different but this is what it is now and all you can do is make the best of it. This system though or literally incentivizing women to leave good hardworking men they committed to with all the vows they say is absolutely insane and asinine. Absolute Trash 🤡 world.

Good for you man. I guarantee when you get to a better place where you're over her, she will come crawling back.

Sounds like you're on the right track back . You have a job and your sanity. Good luck in your future ventures.

You’re a dope.

I just imagined it with rocket launchers and assault rifles on it 😂

This is absolutely key. Young men and women need to learn this. The key is to make it where people feel it when you're NOT at work. When others sit you find something to do or someone to help. Even if it isn't your "department". Be the guy who's happy to be there and positive. 99 percent of it is being bearable or even pleasant 😅😅

Congrats man! Very inspiring

The construction industry desperately needs people with that attitude... You'd be making $40 per hour in the trades at this point....

The best ability is AVAILABILITY. Doesn’t matter how good u are, if ur not there, ur of no service. The key word is to “Endure”

Lol...congratulations....you get to be the idiot that misses the whole point.@@w_ulf

Just happened to me in May. Really rough at first but i can go all day now. Feet stopped blistering and body fat dropped. Just got a bicycle this week and hit an emotional high, such a fun timesaver

it's been 5 years since I lost my car. it sucked and there are days it still does ... but it's worth it. good exercise

How did you lose it?

I work 8 miles a day AT WORK. Drains ya don’t it. 1/3 marathons daily

Yup. Hardship taken in stride with the right attitude molds you into a stronger person.

I’m celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with 6k. I have invested on time and also with the right terms now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me

Wow, really. I was able to make my $25k on investment

​@@zoeyswaniawski7306I’m looking for something I can venture into on a short term basis, I have $15k sitting in my savings

You’re right but a lot of people remain poor due to ignorance

Not because of ignorance, it’s because of the high rate of unprofessionalism in the cypto market

What happens when he does?

@@Noillintents God will give him Purpose then, because as he says: "for he himself has said, I will never leave you or abandon you." EVEN if you yourself (think of) abandon God, he won´t abandon you. That is the true unconditional love. Read the Story of Job in the Bible. You are NOT alone.

Mate, that’s a long time to be with the same firm. And that shows loyalty when you land your next role Nate, you’ll be good 🤜🏽💥🤛🏽

That’s rough, almost like the breakdown of a long term relationship. Keep your chin up, the next will be something better 👍🏼

my dad lost his job at the local paper mill after 25 years of loyalty. this was the bread and butter of our family and so many other families like us. just came in to work one day and the news had hit. lots of families moved. our once booming town saw a substantial decline in jobs and revenue and a significant increase in crime. i can’t imagine what was going through his mind at this time. i was a young child so i didnt quite understand what an impact this would have on our family at the time. our life was built upon his low six figure forklift driving salary, chock full of shift work and overtime. the vehicles, the house, the boats, everything depended on that paper mill pay check. my mother was a self employed hair dresser who only worked 3 days per week so she could raise the kids and keep the house on her days off. long story short, i probably only knew of him getting upset one time, if that, and it definitely was not in front of us. he got up, dusted himself off and thankfully got a job at a shipyard about an hour and 15 minutes from our house. he slaved away at that job for 10 years, having taken a substantial pay decrease. i can honestly say he took it to the chin and kept on going. i, and my siblings, never had to feel the impact of what had truly happened because of his willingness to keep walking. to not sit and wonder what direction to walk in. today he works at the same shipyard, in a much higher position than where he started, and gets to work from home 2-3 days per week, saving him the hour + drive + traffic everyday. i know what you’re experiencing has to be a lot. it has to weigh heavily on you mentally. but trust there’s a greater plan and you will see it through. just keep on keeping on, can’t allow yourself to get stuck or start feeling sorry for yourself! be blessed, brother.

Right there with you brother. 32 here. I get it.

Your forties are coming sooner than you realize

30 is still young for a guy

I just wish 53 year old you could tell 31 year young you to realise the world is your oyster, anything was possible and you are young. Look after yourself and love every minute my friend.

@@andrewmaher8409 how old are you yourself? just curious. I'm 27 and feel like i lost a few years there to trauma, depression and weakness. Being 27 and getting closer to 30, knowing that your 20s are best for skill building...the sting of not using those years as effectively as i should have is pretty painful, and the fear that i'm already over the hill, so behind. I'm trying to be intelligent in my perspective, because I know i thought similar things at 24, at least a little bit, which now seems madness to me, but then my brain betrays me and wants to tell me "yeah but THIS time you really are an adult, youre late 20s, this time it's true". And in my brains defense, It definitely feels stronger than ever. Idk

Keep going man your story motivates me

I know that is Fact but I'm getting tired of being the loser that hasn't give up yet.

Give up it’s over with your wife focus on yourself try to be the best it’s the best revenge and find a new girlfriend

Be the best for yourself and your daughter. Your wife is getting her back blown out. Be the best for yourself. Now move on be better. You are focused on your wife she is not focused on you.

So sorry that this happened to you. In a similar situation. I guess 1 day at a time.

Convid didn't do anything Pete. You can thank your Gov't for all the devastation to the lower and middle class, and the real virus is called communism. Best wishes bro.

Are you exercising?

The fact you accomplished at least one duty in a day shows progress. Never give up! Life's curveballs are what makes us stronger. We need to stop the negativity and look at everything from a positive POV. Proud of you never give up brother

You know I never thought I'd find comment section on RU-vid were so many men are going through a lot. Its heartbreaking, but I found comfort and inspiration in your words and seeing other men trying to get up from their slump and failures is amazing its also been tough on my side and sometimes I feel you can't really share it with anyone else

So what exactly happened to you in the navy? I’m curious, because there’s a massive issue with veterans who’ve never seen combat, deployed or anything claiming PTSD, guys who worked desk jobs getting VA disability, and claiming psychiatric disorders. It’s bizzare

@@ViktoriousDead I found out I had paranoid schizophrenia. They claimed nothing was wrong and even wanted to keep me working with a gun after finding this out. I was threatened by two supervisors and was legitimately a mess until I left.

@@ViktoriousDead I’m not keen on being considered wrong about this or even ashamed. I did my best work considering everything

@@ViktoriousDeadI understand your mindset and had the same view point, but there indeed situations where someone may not experience combat but one example might be leadership and the way they treat you. There are a handful of sailors I’ve talked to where their situation is a very legitimate reason to have PTSD even though they were not in combat. There are also those who do play the system….like someone in my previous leadership….. which is BS

Good fortune to you. It ain't easy, but is it really supposed to be? Not necessarily.

Savage 🔥🔥🔥

Damn man I feel like I wrote this almost! Same situation after 10 years being together and now it’s been 2 1/2 years and I’m just now excepting everything and embracing the pain and moving on while listening to Jocko !

I just went through a break up man, my fault. Im crying bad

@@raphaelwesley9140 It slowly gets better. There will be ups and downs through the process.

You ALWAYS have a choice. Once you understand that, the rest falls into place.

Always a choice! Goodluck :)

You are not what you do, don't forge that. Your character defines you, not your job, but definitely build your skillsets so you have a better job that makes it easier later to live and invest and build wealth and provide for family.

@@locophoto6881I like how you put that together. Very good mindset.

Too late now

Sleep tight sheeople! The wolfs are just a conspiracy theory 😂

its not noon yet

I agree Wake up Now!!!!👀

Wake up to what?

It’s how he’s been trained. Elite mindset

Still moving?

@@jamisonbernhardt3310 till this day

Blaming the woman each time negates the whole concept of extreme ownership man, calling yourself a king constantly does that too. It's highly unlikely that all these dudes were perfect husbands and fathers and then one day the wife just wake sup and turns evil. Look inward first, you have more control over your life than anyone else.

@@evanl8656They were totally not gold diggers.

Its just bad behavior, no morals or scruples. Toxic is just a buzz word. Shitty people are real.

♥yaaaaas

Best to still leave a person like that.

Those aren't his choices to make the courts will force him to pay plus 97% chance that as a man he loses custody in court

@@stevebrown5603 this is why the laws need to be revised. He may not be a perfect husband, but why is he losing his children, partner, business and house? For what … ‘her freedom’, if she wants out so bad make her let go of everything, not him. Let her live without all of those things for 6 months and find out how much she misses her marriage and the stability it bring to her.

Amen brother I’m on MET

Me too brother. The last couple years I’ve been just floating around depressed and no direction. I’m tired of this feeble existence. Time to get moving and start living again. Good or bad it’s gonna happen.

Hey man. So I’m 42 and have been where you’re at. What I will say is that you are in the right place. You’re taking action. You will figure it out. It’s the people that don’t move and stay still that lose. If you’re feeling lost it’s because you’re growing. Don’t give up man. Ever. One day you’ll have a wife and then a family. Build discipline now so you can take them through those times. You got this.

Just a heads up, me getting a CDL led me to a point to where I felt like a failure and left me morbidly depressed, I don't know why people equate chasing money with having your shit together.

@@johnran6015 I get your point and appreciate the advice. At the moment it's more about what I'm able to do physically, buy money isn't a problem since I'm a disabled vet.

@@johnran6015 I sincerely hope things are better for you now. May I ask what you do now?

Instead of trying to find a way to dissect the Home Depot analogy spend time doing something

@@reckitronald9478 is that all you got? you're not very good at this.
