Life is actually very simple. You need to look inside you and find your inner strength. It is not simple but once you your inner core is strong it does get easier.

Jocko has saved my life on more than one occasion. There have been times when I was just at the end of my rope with life. Listening to these videos and applying them has really helped me get out of some bad mental situations.
@@DrummerJacob nah he doesn't. He seems to be a bit stupid and self centered. He does not understand that people are different. The body is not the same for everyone. I have lost all respect for him after listening of his crap about mentality and psychology. No arguments, nothing except I did it so it must be true.
You know what I love about rough patches and shitty days? They are *relative*. You *have* to fight them, because once you overcome them you will find that normal days in the future will feel easy.
SugarSmear to have had a rough patch meets you were fortunate enough to experience a good patch. Once you overcome this rough patch you'll appreciate those good patches so much more.
Going through a divorce right now and watching my whole future change right in front me me. I just want to preemptively say thank you to these struggles for making me BETTER. I will conquer this time in my life.
I am in the exact same situation right now brother. 10 yrs together 4 yrs married, Boom, done. Hard reset. Getting back in the gym has helped alot and focusing on work. Thinking of starting BJJ training. Keep on keepin on. Stay strong.
I'm sorry, @Adam P. I understand completely. I'm rooting for you. For me, she was my Fiancée. I valued her higher than she valued me. Turns out she was cheating on me with her secret boyfriend she was keeping behind my back the whole time. I had known her for 5 1/2 years. And I really wanted her to be my Forever. Now I'm just trying to focus on me. I'm working on getting my life straightened out, financially and emotional wise. I'm also going to go back to training martial arts again. I may get into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu as time starts to free up some. I've never studied ground fighting so I think it could be useful and of course fun. Mainly, I just want to get over my now ex Fiancée. I just want the pain to stop.
Hang in there,been there done that,it can be brutal, so much anger towards someone you cared about, but it will pass,it takes time,don't let it defeat you
That last bit of the video hit home. I did just that at the end of 2019. I was struggling in BJJ for most of 2018 at blue belt. I was struggling financially. I was struggling mentally after breaking up with my BPD ex of 2 years, then getting into a car accident even though I didn't sustain any injuries. That was my rough patch. Last year was a turning point for me. I started getting into calisthenics to improve my athletic abilities. I started taking the necessary steps into improving my jiu jitsu to compete. I picked myself up financially through endless hours of work and side jobs. What did I get back? I obtained my purple belt and won bronze at a competition. I became stronger and more leaner than I've ever been in my entire life. A new car. New opportunities to learn and grow. I'm still in the midst of improving, but that's life. So after all that, I say thank you. Thank you for helping me become the man I needed the most.
I just broke up with my BPD wife of 12 years, the journey was hell. I am exercising every day and it is getting easier, I know that I am better off out. Jocko's videos are really helping
I was in Ramadi with this guy. He left about a month after I got there in 06. I don't recall seeing him but I wish I would have. Would be awesome to say I shook his hand lol.
Fun fact: The reason why we don't see anybody else on the video apart from Jocko from 17 seconds onwards is because as soon as he started the whole room left & conquered the shit out of life from being motivated. In all seriousness, this man is so bloody inspirational & fires me up every damn time.
So.....i was a matter of minutes from putting this revolver in my mouth just now and this vid showed up in my recommendation area of my phone. Thanks Jocko, this is one more day that I'll push forward and not let life defeat me. I honestly don't know how tomorrow is going to be, but I know today I'll be......here.
Man did I ever need to hear these words today. Prioritize and execute. Dig in. I know I'll be a stronger person once I get through these challenges facing me. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
This is the best inspiration video I've seen. Basically confront your issues head on and stop trying to ignore or bury them. Confront them, make a plan and execute it. Love it. Going to apply this to my life right now. Communication with those around you not only helps create a plan it holds you accountable to execute your "mission".
Jocko, I recently had two surgeries to remove my thyroid because of cancer, and I still have radiation treatment to go through. I will watch this multiple times through out the process. Thank you for the reminder that I will be a stronger person after this is over.
Thank you Jocko for letting me know what to do and that by creating relationships with other people and doing things that are disiplined will help me improve. Become better, faster, stronger, and help me feel better, improve my attitude and help others whenever I can!
Jocko is awesome. I just got into his podcast because I kept hearing about him and I was skeptical at first but I love the man he is SO motivating. Listening to him and Peterson and Rogan and some high achievers will change your life. Great advice, God bless.
Thank you Jocko! I won't give up, these past few months have felt like a total nightmare with no end in sight but I refuse to give up and doing everything I can to improve myself right now
jocko! thank you sir! just the notification and advice needed to hear. Goin for custody of my daughter, getting laid off, and having to find new place to live. thank you for inspiration sir!
Thank you Jocko and Echo. Things are tough right now as I prepare for a surgery that really has me scared. I need to switch to a positive mindset and this video helps.
Thank you for making this and being jocko willink, seriously, you have a huge ammount of impact on my life and my decesion making process, you a truly an inspiration and a role model, idk man u rock lol
Jocko ive found a lot of strength and insight in listening to your podcasts thank you so much.. Really crushed because i watched your video on just joining the reserves and i cant even do that.. Army was my out i knew itd be there but when i failed to pass medical i was devestated didnt know where to go. Life was rough and i was always a self starter and i worked so hard to be tougher than your average man. Idk what to think because i was cut from a different cloth and i love being tired and covered in mud but i judt dont pass medical.. Signed a northern bushlife/craft lovin canadin
I'm an alcoholic, early in my recovery. The consequences of my addiction have all hit hard and at once. I find your words powerful. I chose to face these opportunities head on and will rise above. I thank you for your encouraging words. I've been watching your videos since I got into rehab and they have helped so much. You make me feel like round house kicking life right in the face and scream ROAD HOUSE!!
I first saw Jocko on Ted Talk. Discovered his podcast on UA-cam, saw first vid, then immediately subscribed. Now this... thank you for what you do, sir!
The delivery of this man's speech is amazing. He says the same stuff as most people, but with almost maniacal conviction. Whispering every word clearly, right into a mic. At the same time, he still looks like he is trying to hold it back and be easy on you. It's like him talking to a kid about real hard stuff and trying to be gentle. I really would not want to be Jocko's problem :)
This happened to me recently. My ex of 18 years left me and it devastated me. I then lost 65 lbs, work out every day and got a great new career. I am killing it now and look back at as the best thing that has ever happened to me. At the time I did not see this Happening . Ive learned not to let other people control my happiness, im now on a never ending mission to keep bettering myself and its channels like this that motivated me
Wow, this really hits home to me. I went through the recruiting process of joining the Navy, and my ex broke up with me so I could chase that dream. Unfortunately I was disqualified from the Navy because of my nystagmus and visual acuity. I've been feeling miserable trying to work back with my ex and take it slow to get back to where we were and my dreams feel crushed. Stress affected my work and my physical health. I'm not sure what's going to happen nor what to do. I've felt like giving up but I'm not a quitter.
Discipline yourself to: * STOP making excuses * DO NOT tell yourself negative things which allow you to screw up * ATTACK the negative, UNWANTED behaviors with positive ones
Yo man if you want to get back into the Navy I would say fix your vision and don't let your dreams get crushed. I don't care what people say about the human body. The human body can heal itself if given the right route. The right route has to be delivered by you. Do feverish research I believe in you man you're awesome!
Just discovered you Jocko, and I have to say you're awesome. Thank you for all your inspiring words. I'm in the military and just expect everything to be "quit being a bitch" or Man up. Your words build us up from the inside.
Man I feel this guys. I have family issues and financial issues all going at once it drives me insane but.l I just keep thinking it won’t be like this forever. Eventually I’ll get to a place where my life isn’t problem free but I will Be in a position to better handle them problems.
Jocks, you articulate the things I tell myself in my head at hard times. But hearing it from another real person (and said with considerably more conviction than I can muster on my own) - well, let's say it got me out of bed this morning, and that's saying something.
My mom got paralyzed 4 months ago. I've been having emotional and financial issues since then. Two weeks ago I was hit by a car in my motocycle and I injured my foots and knees. I have to pay the car fixes, my bike fixes and a lawyer because I didn't have insurance. I'm broken. Somehow I'm still moving forward and I have no reason to give up. I'm facing this shit. Let's do it.
Life doesn't get easier, you just have to get stronger.
Exactly, same with anything really
Playing an instrument doesn't get easier, you get better etc

Look at his eyes no matter what situation confronts him he will always be on the winning side. This man does not know how to lose.
The only difference between him and you is a decision and action. Be an OX!🙌
of course he does, he just knows how to get better and stronger and no matter what he believes in himself
