    This is a good perspective to alter Jocko Wilink’s. Freedom is pointless difficulty if it’s something you genuinely don’t like.

      I disagree. I don’t necessarily enjoy doing leg day. But it’s absolutely necessary because I’ve had surgery and want my body to look proportionately right. I don’t enjoy doing laundry but I like clean clothes and putting them away myself. Fuck this perspective. Never really met. A college kid who enjoyed homework or studying but they loved the grade they got afterward if they out in the work.

      When I went to secondary school I hated doing homework. I had been given a lot of tools for how to practically manage the workload, but I still felt negative. Then my school did a survey about the students feelings towards homework. And my score was bad. So they sat me down and talked with me. And that's how I learned that I was an exception. And it's not normal to hate homework. And it's possible and okay to feel more positive about it. They didn't explain to me how to pull that off. But just understanding that it was possible to feel more positive about it, already helped me. I proceeded to focus more on the positive side of the homework: notice more where it interested me and finding the pride in my work. I am still incredibly grateful that they sat me down to talk about this. I feel like it saved me.
      My mother did criticize me at some point. She said I was doing my homework wrong, because I was taking too much time. I should change my approach. According to her I should decide how much time I want to spend on my homework and then just do the best I can within that timeframe. I completely disagreed with her. Why would I put time pressure on myself if I don't need to? If I don't have anything else important to do? If I hate how she is always rushing us, because she puts time pressure on every single task that she performs and on us too? I dismissed her approach. She was not happy. But I was in the top classes. And she had never been. She was at least honest enough not to argue about that.

      I responded to this. I am so disappointed with youtube as a discussion platform again. My comment was right here and there was nothing wrong with it. Literally nothing. I have no idea what I said wrong.

    Absolutely correct! I have experienced this feeling and know how frustrating and draining it can be.

    How do you explain David Goggins?

      As he also said... "It's highly individual"... Ali just shows his way... Also that Ali is more gifted than goggins (almost everyone who doesn't have adhd e.g.) so if you are kind of talented you have room to enjoy things unlike goggins... So yeah we are lucky

    Sorry but this is such a lazy L take. Discipline needs to be foundational in everything you do, not just something to use when things get tough. This is why probably why you burnt out a few months ago. Jocko sends his regards.

      Sounds like you are judging people for aiming to do things the easy way and actively looking for the easy way, when there is also a difficult way.
      It's probably a part of our culture to think that the difficult way must be better because it is difficult. But sometimes a lot of people are wrong. Just because it is part of our culture doesn't make it right.

      I don't think you comprehended the video.
      To me it seems Ali is saying that discipline should be used to start actions and to get going with things but shouldn't be used to force yourself through doing something all the way through. That is really draining and unsustainable.

      Discipline is freedom is a fine mantra to lean on when you don’t know what else to do. Those three words have helped so many people get through tough times. But there’s a lot more to Jocko than just those three words. He doesn’t spend 20 hours a day practicing jujitsu and the other 25 recording podcasts. He plays guitar. He surfs. He camps. He has a wife and kids. He likes chocolate chip cookies. So maybe Ali is onto something here. He is a multimillionaire after all. Maybe what we can take away from all this is that the real key to success is being able to adapt and adjust. Mastering nuance. Mastering balance. Mastering perspective. Having both discipline and passion. Jocko also has a book called “The Dichotomy of Leadership”, btw. If you’ve read it, then you’ll know there’s more to driving success than just having your foot on the gas.
