      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.

    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 will say one thing about the work issue. You can continue to do your best at work, and maybe work through some lunches, etc. But it’s also okay to talk to your boss and ask for your load to be lightened, if you find yourself in a position where , realistically, too much is expected of you. This day and age, it is very common to get bogged down with a workload that is larger to manage for just one person. It’s important to do your best and fight through, but you also don’t want to experience burnout on a daily basis. You need breaks and rest to think clearly and to do a good job. Working a few longer days to catch up on a project is one thing, but consistently doing it is not healthy. I have been there, and so has a respected boss of mine. He ended up telling his boss (when he kept getting added to every work project) that he’ll get done what he can, but that he also had a life outside of work.

That old cliche that says it's not how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up is so true!!!! Addiction is the only fight you win by surrendering.

      DON'T allow setbacks to hold or keep you down!
      Ot' s NOT worth allowing that negativity to ruin things!

    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.

    Real glad i found this. In the last 2 weeks my girlfriend had a miscarriage, her grandfather had to be hospitalized for a hernia and intestinal problems, I hit someones car and had to pay them $1,000 to keep them from filing an insurance claim, my apartment got hit with a nasty flea infestation, then my car broke down in the middle of the road and i had to get it towed and pay $300 for repair. I'll try and remember this advice.

    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

    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.

    While I think that life is essentially more of a wrestle than a dance, most of the time, I do think there can be more advice than just "pushing harder" (which is good advice to a point). I think it is also important to set small goals and the old saying "Slow and steady wins the race is good advice.
