JOCKO and Leif. Get some.
Motivation isn’t what we are relying on. Discipline is what enables us to do what we have to do.
Standing by to
Get It Done 🙏💪
Yessir
"Let discipline be your guide, not your emotions." Love it.
Love this ❤
This was so "motivational" no sarcasm intended. "Discipline trumps your feelings." "You have something that needs to get done but you don't feel like doing it - doesn't matter." I love it! Thanks for life long lessons within a 14 minute frame.
A true warrior isn't one who wins a thousand battles but he who battles himself and wins . Bless you Jacko ,i honour your words 🙏
“People get defeated by the alarm clock, people get defeated by a DONUT.”
I FEEL ATTACKED.
“Good”
I didn't want to listen to this podcast, but I did it anyway.
Discipline Equals Freedom.
Forrest Gump is my favorite movie for this one principle...he did not let intelligence or a belief get in his way. Just do it.
That was me growing up. I got tired of ending up in bad situations and decided to start thinking before acting
It occurred to me that when Jocko says when you don’t know where you are in life; when you are lost; you get up and you move. Move forward. Start walking. You’re not where you were then. You are changing your situation. That part of Forrest Gump starts running, it’s when he is like that. He doesn’t know where he is going. He is just moving forward and away from where he was where he felt lost. He finds his way out of that eventually.
In other words, you're a dullard LMFAO LMFAO LMFAO!
As a teacher I love reminding young people that "wanting to" is nor a requirement... do it anyway. Discipline is keeping myself to that same standard. Great stuff, gentlemen.
Can't wait to meet the man who agrees with the mantra "discipline overrides emotion." I ran in collegiate track meets at the age of 37 as an unattached runner in the 1500 b/c my running coach said I could rock it. If I had let emotions take over, I would have puked at every meet.
Emphatically true wisdom spoken here. Thanks for this.
Wow. Brilliant. True story: Ike while President was told by his doc that his 3 pack a day cig habit was killing him. He quit that day. A reporter asked how he did it. “I gave myself an order to stop.” He never smoked again.
I have been knocked down by life maybe times and left with nothing literally. Many times my own fault. Yet i have always gotten up, and have come a long way from where i was in life. Not going into details, but it's a far cry from where i was. Internal motivation, and having good people in your life to push you, and not co sign your b.s. had helped me get to where i am
By far, one of the most important videos I've seen you men put out. Thank you both.
Discipline is the root of all good qualities. Thank you for your support.
Growing up in a Navy family, it does my heart good to see these guys going online and sharing their thoughts about the good, bad and ugly of their journey. I think it's healthy
This is very well stated and absolutely true!
As they were talking, I was able to reflect on many areas in my life where I've become very disciplined, with that discipline being what gets me through.
Many years ago, for example, I developed some specific food allergies -- nothing that will kill me, but even so I've developed the discipline to avoid these foods even when I really want to eat them or when everyone else does, and I shouldn't.
Discipline gets you through!
You got me at the gym at 4am every morning, discipline get's you there not motivation. I love the analogy of the General and Soldier in your mind.
Right on. The General is getting you to the gym, but you are the Soldier who has to enact that discipline and get the workout done. Keep getting after it.
Wow! I’ve never heard this before. It is absolutely true. That motivation is worthless. Discipline is all that matters. motivation always evaporates.
Thank you for your service to our country. Bless you for the continued service with teaching men the things we didn’t get for one reason or another. I don’t know where I would be right now without guys like you and Chad Wright, David Goggins. I’ve pieced myself back together with gaffer’s tape I got from watching all you guys.
Yep. I get up and around and once I start that first set, the workout is ON! I don’t stop until it’s done.
Bullseye over the target. I have abused my freedom. Back into the water, I go.
Get back on the Path of Discipline. That's how you can unlock more freedom
@@EchelonFrontBible?
Holy hell Jocko. . . Thank you
@@CarlosVerdinOfficial what
@@EchelonFront Yes, Sir! I just saw this reply. My procrastination is shameful. Honored for the reply.
This is the second video I’ve watched from you guys now really good content. Very brief story I was also 82nd airborne for a brief moment of my life. And I got into a verbal conflict with somebody because I said. “ this part of the job is so cool you know getting ready to jump out of an airplane at night doing a full mission, etc. and then I shook my head and said it’s the coolest job for like 15 minutes or so then I wanna go and do something else.”
At that time, I was 22 and a complete fucking idiot. That 20 minute rule applies to even real life.
I’m gonna watch this a couple of times good information about motivation and discipline. It’s very difficult to be disciplined for many people including myself. Takes an insane amount of work and dedication. This is a good reminder for me and a good time to get put in check. Again, thanks for putting out these videos.
Sent this message using Siri so I’m sure none of it makes any sense
Gosh I absolutely love his viewpoint and examples of discipline!!!
Hey I am reading your book "Extreme Ownership" and I am loving it.
This needs a definition for "motivation". I / many understand it as the reasons/conviction for doing something. So what you do at the moment CAN be unpleasant/undesirable/unlikeable/un-feel-like-doit-able --- but you still do it if you have ... strong motivation.
Motivation in turn can help you develop discipline.
I followed my feelings my whole life and because of that I was stuck for many years, or even decades. I was a slave of myself and that's truly a really awful situation, you're consumed by guilt and regret and you feel like a fool, a failure, a good for nothing... but the only one responsible for that is YOU and your lack of self-control, discipline, a strong mentality. Those will always be essential in everybody's life.
I'm still fighting my own mental war, sometimes I lose some battles and sometimes I win others, but the most important thing is to not give up and keep striving to improve and become a better version of yourself.
We should acknowledge our feelings, but if we only listen to how we feel, we will end up down a path of self-indulgence. Discipline is what will give us true freedom to do and get what we want.
Fantastic video and almost as equally fantastic are the amazing comments, no one is disagreeing with what is being said because we all know it is impossible to argue against this advice.
I am just a volunteer firefighter, however when u are called out you burn a ton of energy in all types of conditions. I need to be a lot more fit, this truly hit me with a wow just use my discipline!! Thanks a lot!!!
You brothers are the best and you self fund!!! VFD is just another branch of service. It's the firefighter that goes "over the top" for a rescue. *Salutes*
@@hounddog3476 Appreciate ya for sure 👊
This makes a lot of sense. Developing discipline is psychological power, this is good mental input.
i have been so tired and discouraged that i felt defeated, i started listening to motivational videos and i would listen to them every night and use them to help me have reason to not give up, and i would say those reasons to myself throughout the day
because i did not give up i developed discipline
that is the only thing that confuses me about your argument, i am not disagreeing with you exactly, but i was so tired and discouraged that i was giving up and the motivational videos the words they said were guidence and strength and I don't think i would have continued without them
10 years i dragged myself through constant work and loss, i though I would never come out
Understand completely. Just discovered these vids.
Congratulations
All the videos do is remind u that the key is discipline just like the seals who fail by going to clubs life has so many distraction
Discipline,dedication,& desire,3D's of life kudos for a great session.
How wonderfully convicting. 🙌🏼
Real ”motivation” is staying true and doing things that will give you what really want. Get after it👌 Great job Guys🤩
Doing the right things is a consequence of being motivated to do so. What you really want is your motivation.
I'm writing this before even starting the video. I know motivations fade away easily. We love Batman and we all want to be like him, but, in reality, motivations fade. The strong keep the motivation, but the average guy can't hold on to it. So, I'm very curios and expecting a lot from what Jocko has to say here. I'm not going to edit this one after watching the video either. Hoping for the best!
I didn't edit my initial statements, so this one is based on the conclusion after watching the video and I quote: "if you allow your feelings to dictate what you do, you will end up being a slave to your feelings".
Self-discipline can work wonders and is achievable with clear life goals. Thank you for promoting liberating values in your channel.
Discipline gets involved when you already started doing something, when you got into something. Motivation is needed to START doing something. In this example - get into seal training. Different things.
This is the best video I’ve seen on the topic! That hit hard!
Self-discipline is everything in life. With your body, mind, spouse, friends, kids, diet, and spirit.
Motivation has a place.
Inspiration- By Action or Words = minutes to hours to be motivated to create a plan to be valued.
Motivation- Create a Plan= Time/Cost/ROI. Minutes to 48hrs to for basics of value. The plan can vary depending on new info.
Discipline- Without discipline A Plan is just words on paper.
I've never been in a combat situation, but I remember sleeping in a park at 17 after escaping home where I was trafficked for 5 years.
To survive, I walked into local small businesses and asked to write articles for their blog for $20. It was hard to survive, and I did not want to do what it took because I was scared. But I did it anyway and relied on the discipline to keep going.
That and spite.
Now at 33, I'm still a content writer and strategist, and I remind myself when I don't feel like doing the work that sending cold emails to potential clients and executing my marketing strategy are not on the same level as what I had to do before and I need to grow up and just do it.
I'm beyond grateful for owning my own business and get to live on my own terms, and I know if I want to keep it, I need to do the work.
It's also why I got addicted to being backed against the wall in life -- because that's my do-or-die situation where I'm forced to take action. Fear becomes irrelevant, and the brain fog clears. It's harnessing this fierceness in the comfortable times.
A friend from China was talking to an American neighbor woman, and the neighbor told her that their kid was not doing well in math (high school) because "...she doesn't like it..." . My friend was appalled, "What does not liking it have to do with anything?"
The message was loud and clear: just get the job done!
This is absolute gold
Motivation is overrated,
Discipline is the key
Right on. Discipline equals freedom.
Discipline over motivation.
Mindset over circumstance.
You need to be motivated to become disciplined to become disciplined.
Disciplin is really just motivation. Why would you want discipline in your life? The answer to that, is your motivation.
Discipline is king. 💪🏻😎👍🏻
What jacko just described is what I experienced doing Ice baths and saunas. Discipline was actually an unexpected by product of the practice.
I’m lucky enough to have a wellness center that has both premium ice baths and a sauna. I love being warm and I HATE(with a burning passion) being cold. When I arrive I’m warm, cozy, and feel comfortable. It is the greatest shock to get into 37 degree water. Shock is an understatement! Even after a year I still hate it. But I do it for 2 minutes. When I get down to the last 30 seconds I count the milliseconds and start negotiating with my self to get out- but I stay in.
When I get out and go into the sauna it is the greatest feeling. It’s so luxurious and relaxing. And then I go back into the ice water for 2 minutes. And the pain begins again, the hardest of which getting into the water.
I expected increased energy and endorphins. But I did not expect my diet to improve, my relationships, and overall fitness to improve. Every single hard thing became easier! Delayed gratification because the standard. It was all because nothing is worse than being wrapped up in a warm blanket with a pretty candle watching a beautiful relaxing video to in the next 10 minutes getting into ice cold water & sustaining that pain!!!!!
i just took the courage to smash my alarm clock this morning... sleep thru like a pig! thanks Jocko! First!
Strong.
Thx so much for a great video, I will be from this day forward working on my discipline thx again 😊
It’s 4:30am and I now have a lot of old motivational posters from the early 2000’s that are useless to me.
THE FORCE flows through Jocko
He explains how to be a force of nature
By harnessing nature itself
It is THE very power of WILL
The spaces that occupy every atom of your body and make up almost all of it
You my friends
Are the makeup of pure WILL
A FORCE THAT TRANSCENDS SPACE AND TIME
AND JOCKO
Just reaches out and grabs it❤
Discipline == freedom 🔥 🔥
Opposite. Discipline requires you to do something. If you are free, you dont need discipline.
"Discipline protects you from temptation"
If you are not tempted, you dont need disciplin. And if you are not motivated, you dont have it.
Self Discipline is the best Motivation
This is why gyms are packed in January and empty in February. However discipline is learned, it's not something most people can just flip on like a switch. And most people don't have it. So the question is, how do you learn discipline?
Start small, get some little wins, recognize the dopamine hit, feel accomplished, get encouraged by it, aim a little higher, rinse and repeat.
Discipline begets more discipline. The more discipline you enact on yourself - getting the workout in or waking up early - the more discipline you will accomplish throughout the day. If you get off the path and miss a workout in one day, don't let it become two and keep moving forward.
@@ryancairns139 Spot on. Get some small wins that will inspire you to achieve bigger goals.

What really built it for me is simply do things when you don't want to do them. When you have a rough day at work and don't want to hit the gym is when it's most important to hit the gym. That's what builds the discipline.
Jocko is very wise
As awesome as always.
This hits the nail on the head!
I have always had a problem with the word "motivation"
Motivation is the reason to do something.
Your motivations to eat are you are hungry and survival. Often a reason to do it aint enough.
Awsome!!!!
Thanks for watching.
I’m inspired by both Jocko and Leif! Just bought an Extreme Ownership hat from the Echelon front website! Discipline Equals Freedom.
Discipline Will Set You Free. -Jocko
Thanks 🙌🏾 #no lies detected 🧐
Jocko and his video's about discipline helped me to get trough a lot in life. The books were very good as well. Thanks for the video #Staydisciplined #keepuptheGOODwork
Seneca "TREAT THE BODY RIGOROUSLY so that it is NOT DISOBEDIENT TO THE MIND" -- Stoicism & Jocko go Hand in Hand.
The Apostle Paul said something very similar. Discipline is the key!
1 Cor 9:24-27
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
We were not designed to live this fast paced automated lifestyle. We aren’t supposed to rush around like this and live on apps and emails and passwords, work 40-80hrs a week to afford to live and then not have time to do anything else. You have to stress out just arranging time to make Dr appointments clean and get things done, spend time with family. It costs so much money and time just to eat healthy in this country. That’s why we’re defeated by mundane small things
Good
Excellent points. I think I will implement this tomorrow.
Self-discipline is Self-control
Motivation is an emotion which comes and go's, Discipline is a character trait. Always be disciplined and you will find the motivation when you need it.
This sounds like something I heard before, but explained another way. The Three Hats. Or something along those lines. You have the entrepreneur, the manager, and the employee.
The Entrepreneur creates the ideas sets the table.
The Manager takes the idea and create a process so it can function.
The Employee turns the gears in that process.
The employee hates the manager thinking they can do a better job. The manager hates the entrepreneur who freely tweaks and changes the process. And the entrepreneur is always making changes to improve the process or the business. And sometimes we have to wear all 3 hates in our minds.
Great insight regarding motivation vs discipline.. question now is.. how do I discipline myself?
Fascinating and also sad.
Why sad? It’s reality.
Woopsie, feelings are creeping in. Call it "adulting" if you must have some humor, whatever works.
No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Yet it yields a harvest of righteousness for those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:11
I found myself @ PARADE REST while listening - HOOAH
Thank you for your service!
No motivation but still got that that's above on the ehchelon on the beat man I really wanted to pursue that which is on other players
Jocko tears cure cancer. Too bad, he has never cried.
Lmfao sorry its true
I have been going to school for CS and found that tenacity and hard work do not come from inspiration they come from the need to succeed and the want for bettering yourself rather than the pleasure of doing it within itself. So when you make yourself do something like complex math and you don’t want to do it you remember that the outcome ie more money having a comfortable life and a good job is enough to force yourself to be motivated. Also focusing on people who are worse than yourself is important and setting your expectations as low as possible and seeing yourself as being bad at it. Both things cause you to work harder.
The only valuable comment so far. Well done for not kissing their boots like everyone else.
Jocko, Can you and the team do a segment on the proper way to implement changes? What is necessary when implementing a change in a process, and why? What is the proper way to handle a situation when a change is implemented in a way that doesn't have your full buy in?
I work at a manufacturing plant and we implement changes pretty frequently, but you don't hear about the change until it's time to implement them. There is no chance for feedback. People make changes without authority or knowing the process in other departments, only consider how it it's going to benefit them, despite it having an effect on everyone. Animosity builds and communication degrades.
Great question. Change is absolutely necessary to innovate and improve, but it's our human nature to avoid or limit these changes. We'll work on creating content around your specific topic. In the meantime, we recommed reading the chapter of Extreme Ownership, "Innovate and Adapt"
@@EchelonFront Yes sir
Writers have a saying; “Amateurs write when they’re inspired. Professionals write daily.” It doesn’t matter if you write garbage, you write nonetheless. That’s discipline.
My personal discipline level is a burning dumpster fire, floating down a river of **** but I’m working on it… sort of. God help me, I’ve had zero discipline my whole life.
I’ve been defeated by my pillow. But definitely not buy a donut.
Discipline is the motivation. One personally witnesses the evidence and results that discipline creates. Discipline defines ones character by delaying gratification for an improved end result. But discipline can blind one to discernment ie: the fact that what the military is ultimately doing is creating mind controlled robots who never question the principles being disciplined out of them. The idea that following orders and commands that very well may violate conscience, is paramount. Discernment combined with discipline is the key so that one knows that one's actions motivated by discipline is right and not wrong.
Warrior mindset

"If youre not uncomfortable, youre not growing" -Wisdom/Life/Nature/Every successful person over 50 in my personal life.

Always the right mindset.

lol, is it?
GREAT video 🥊
13:25 @Jocko "Discipline = Freedom" 👈
❤ Love it Jocko. Chiming in here with some Dwayne Johnson brilliance…. “ IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU FEEL.” … Jabone 😂💪🏻💪🏻👁️
Taking directives from head quarters is following necessity because you have too.
Head quarters is head(frontal lobe)and shoulders above the rest for paradoxically the same have to reasons.
Discipline is doing the same(directives) while easily predicting outcomes.
Mercenary and missionary work are heavy as duty and real as spontaneous healing.
💯💯💯
You do it because it needs to be done.
To sum up "a man's got to do what a man's got to do"
Zero people in that class want to get back in the water. Because Goggins isn't in that class.
Which makes me wonder if motivation exist because he (Goggins) gets off on hard conditions. It’s paradise to him😂
Lmao, thank you for that ....🤣
he doesnt want it too, thats why he do it
Jocko actually died four years ago, but the Grim Reaper can’t get up the courage to tell him.
WILL POWER
Trump’s voice + Jocko’s voice = Leif Babin’s voice 😂
Motivation is like salt on my steak. Just adds flavor.
I noticed the 20 min. while riding motorcycle in the cold. Just gotta let the body adjust a bit.
Motivation will abandon you hurt and cold and 11 miles away from getting back to your destination
no it won't. Unless you let it. These guys talk a lot of nonsense that people lap up. It's not discipline or motivation, it's the will to power.
@@wealthypepe well there really is no such thing as motivation. It doesn’t last long because yes it truly has to be backed by the Will. So when motivation loses its flare you only have grit or memories in your soul and muscle to carry you through that you built with discipline
-"YOU CAN DO IT."
-"Don't lie to me, I know I can't."
😂😂😂😂😂
The motivation is passing seal training.. that’s why they “do 100% what they don’t want to do” he made it sound like it comes from nothing..
Hes made a video on why your "why" is stronger than motivation. He's talking about the pumped feeling you get that isn't there every day. He's not saying he didn't have a why. He's saying even if you do have a why , some days you'll absolutely not want to do it or partake in it. But you have to.
As Vader and Schwarzenegger said, “You lack discipline!”
