I teach my students about how to deal with this emotion often. "Anger is the by product of fear". So whenever you feel yourself start to get angry, stop and ask yourself, what am I afraid of right now? And sometimes it's the fear of being wrong. Or the fear that what the person is saying about you is true. Or for a lot of men, it's the fear of being disrespected by another man. Wisdom tells us that feelings are often times unreliable. They can deceive you and make you forget that anger is one letter short of DANGER!! So NEVER FORGET!! this little nugget of wisdom.
"Whenever you get angry it's because you've been made to see something about yourself that you don't like. If you fix that you'll fix everything" Roy Jones Sr."
wd40 ducttape those are just a couple minor words that have a pretty huge meaning... in 1995 when i was 7 or 8 i was throwing a fit over something i couldn't have & my mom's boyfriend(who i hated because he was always an asshole to me & would beat on my mom) grabbed me & said "boy GET OVER IT you're not going to get everything you want in life" & that stuck with me until this day & although he meant it in a (stop whining type of way) i took it as life will have many disappointments so don't take things too personal & just get over it & move on... that was the only advice/good thing i ever got from that POS
The more Jocko + Echo wisdom, the better. This video couldn't have came at a better time. Thanks again Jocko and Echo! Through listening to this podcast non-stop throughout the summer, you've helped me drastically change my perspective on life.
That’s confidence. You must carry an abundance mentality that you already have what you need and not only that, but that you have what is required to be successful. Of course this requires that you actually put in the work for self-improvement. Put in the work, be aware of your weaknesses and strengths, current abilities and make daily changes to move toward perfection in all areas. Of course perfection will never be achieved, but the act of pursuing it over time will bring incredible changes and results in one’s life. As you move toward the right direction, out in the work, and achieve small victories, this is where confidence comes from. This is where you don’t take things too personally.
Love these excerpts. I usually have the podcasts running on UA-cam, in the background while I'm at work, because I like to see your guys expressions while you discuss things. It's nice to be able to get these 5-10 minute nuggets of wisdom without having to watch the whole episode, or remember where it was when I wanna go back and watch it.
Thanks Jocko and Echo I don't know how UA-cam knew I needed to hear this, this morning but it really helped me swallow my pride and work on fixing a problem rather than being pissed off.
I never used to take things personally and just laugh, recently I have been introduced to a lot of stress and that has made me take even jokes with friends personally and get combative to any little thing.. I’ve caught myself
Jocko you're huge help with your wisdom with these sorts of things. I'm not just hearing, I'm listening. I'm making changes and strengthening my character and I feel and see it in my day to day. Thanks dude. 💪
Jocko, Echo, and his guests are intelligent and empowering people. This podcast is a blessing to this nation. It's humbling as a civilian, that I even have access to hearing this. First responder groups > military branches, police, firefighters are all intelligent and incredible people.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. The way echo explained to jocko that you COULD take things personally and it not be true it could still bother you if your insecure about it. The way jocko explains hey man its good to beable to recognize this way of thinking. It’s dangerous. So I got upset at work today when a girl ask me if i bought my car I took it as “oh she thinks my mom bought it” I handle the situation poorly instead of being detached and not caring weather or not she believed me. And maybe answering with sarcasm. Even though I’m still thinking about the situation the following day I’m glad it happen I think its going to help become a better person and change my way of thinking.
There is a whole world full of trolls and bullies who whenever they see the slightest weakness they will attempt to take advantage of you personally or the situation you find yourself in, especially in the workplace. How can I strike the correct balance of standing up for myself and not coming off as thin skinned?
When somebody says something to us that we take personally and makes us really mad, I think we often get mad because they’ve uncovered a truth about us that we know is true, but we don’t want to look at that truth or we’re simply not ready to yet.
I don't know if either of you will read this but you guys have great chemistry. And when you're REALLY explaining things, your choice of words is damn near flawless. Your videos have been an immense help to me from day one.
Thank you so much for these videos! You are helping the world understand their ego, which is something we desperately need. You were/are a Navy Seal (don't quite know how to word that) yet you are breaking the stereotype a majority of people have about Seals, or military members, or men that are super macho. The stereotype that it is all ego and nothing else (we can blame many movies on that) and that it is their way, or the highway. Again, thank you Jocko and Echo!
My friend Mark used to do curls in his living room right before leaving to parties so he could be more “swoll”!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m so dead man that just made my night!!
I think if you can quickly realize you are starting to take it personally and cool your own jets , that's the best play sometimes. There's always the knee jerk reaction and sometimes you don't want to train that away for the moments where you do need to quick decide to decimate instead of acclimate.
I like the fact that these guys talk about real stuff. These are the types of people everyone should surround themselves with. No bullshit get down to the facts and figures of the matter.
Some people have never learned how to not take things personal and I think it's very important if you want to mature as a person, you need to know your downsides and your upsides and be honest with yourself
I'm a huge fan of yours as well as Dr.Peterson's. I'm a life coach who specializes in helping men. I try to keep it real and state things the way they are. I do not sugar coat and I always say it from a well intended place. I have noticed that many (specially younger guys in their 20's) have server anxiety problems. I help them sort it using the modalities I'm trained in but some really do struggle. Particularly those that have smoked lots of weed and drink very often. I appreciate that they do it because of their anxiety; but it's their apathy that I find difficult to deal with.
This is extremely good.Great advice by a couple of wise men.Rmemeber this to anyone who lacks wisdom,the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.You can have earthly women n be considered wise according to mens standards n sure you might be successful n wise in your own eyes as well but if no fear of God is in ur heart to God you are considered to be a fool.So fear God n ask for wisdom because He does say that if any man ask for wisdom He will give it to him..and being that all wisdom comes from God n when He gives wisdom to men it's done in measure.. that seems like the logical thing to do because at the end of the day when your life has ran it's final course it doesn't matter how much earthly wisdom u had because that won't save u but the most important thing u can ever obtain n that is spiritual wisdom n spiritual understanding.Sure being wise can make u a better person but if that's all ur banking on to some how get a pass from God that some how he just might be impressed with how well u delt with ur problems n how good ur advice was that u gave people u will be in for a big surprise.Gods not impressed with wisdom that comes from Him but what matters to Him n even now all that He cares about,isn't so much ur happiness n Sure as heck isn't ur feelings He's concerned about,a that matters is if u have been washed in the blood of his precious Son Jesus Christ n have been forgiven of ur sins only through His own blood because God saids in His holy "when I see the blood I will pass over you" u find that in the book of hebrews..lets be honest with ourselves at the end of the day the only opinion that will matter is Gods.Bible saids Let Gods word be true n all men a liar.Dont take this to be true from me,read ur bible n find out of yourselves what God has to say n what His opinions on matters are.Get spiritual understanding,ask God to open ur eyes to the truth n then let God be ur guide n everything will work out for u in the end.
Very insightful! I agree and am learning. Most of the time, the personal something feels, is a sign for me to listen, look at, process it, then determine what is true ect. We can all learn everyday if we learn to listen, know yourself and remember we are a work in progress. 😊
3:25 actually sometimes I get super pissed when someone is convinced of something that isn't true and then uses you getting agitated as a way to prove that it is. My dad would always accuse me of lying about shit that I wasn't even lying about and I'd get angry and he'd point to that as it meaning he was right which would make me way more angry.
Just clicked to me that my NPD wife did that to me all the time. Were getting divorced next month so it's just nice to get some breakthroughs from Jocko and Echo. They actually help as much as my therapist for the past 3 months. I now have a daily workout, I look and feel better than ever, I haven't got angry anymore, my life is getting better every single day. Thanks a lot guys
I love Echo's description of insecurity, especially regarding dudes being into their physique. Just very coherent and touched on an aspect of the topic that is kind of overshadowed
I am new to this Podcast and really like it. This channel is both entertaining and educational. One tiny thing to note: an acronym is NOT an abbreviation, it is a pronounceable word, i.e. "NASA" is an an acronym, while "NRA" is an abbreviation (because you specify the letters individually).
Glad I found this video. Am going to ask my boss if I can be given more fulfilling work at the one year mark after seeing people hired to fill more complex task and people more junior than me given more responsibilities. I'll admit I'm not the hardest worker but I've met the standards the boss set up for me for some time now and still nothing.
One thing to consider about taking things personally that has been stated before: if the shoe fits then you need to own it, not get butthurt about it and make a change to correct it. Remember, sometimes it's just business and not an attack on who you are personally but simply your performance. Also consider the source and context for frame of reference. When I started a new career in an entirely different field I made plenty of mistakes. And there will be more from time to time. Some mistakes and criticisms were true, some were just scuttle butt from the rumor mill and some was from very negative people. The input about things that were true can be a hard pill to swallow, but that isn't personal because it a truth. The rumor mill feels more personal, and some things are from people who want to drag you down so they look better. That is a personal thing, but as Jocko has said do not let it control and define you. Thanks to Jocko and Echo for your encouragement!
Jocko, first off thank you. Around the 6:55 mark I have a question. How do you separate the mindset of separating the resentment and anger on harsh realities and the "address the weakness and move forward" mindset? : Feel like in order to evolve there is a driving force; that force at times comes from negative energy.
This is totally true. A buddy I was stationed with a couple years ago was shredded and in great shape and everytime we messed with him like asking, dude did you lose weight? He would get all freaked and twitchy, it was hilarious.
I had Drill Sargant Gureeno and Drill Sargant Fallor both came over from the Rangers. They live the military 100 percent of the time. I remember they said it was 3 of them. Their one buddy took a head shot in central America they carried his body 20 kilometers to a landing zone. Just the level of devotion and heart is truly inspiring. I was only in 10 years as 88-M10 and only did one deployment to Afghanistan. Did many convoys out of leatherneck. Was on base defense during the suicide bombing in 2009 on the MEP, 4 TCN were killed and 3 marines got f'd up. In October George Cauley was coming back from Dwyer and was the 6th truck in the convoy it hit a crush plate. I also remember driving by a school bus engulfed in flames in down town Kandahar, being pinned down because the front of the convoy keeps hitting ied's then some asshole keeps shooting mortars from behind a wall. And because of the R.O.E. having our hands tied most of the time plus many other instances as well by the time we got back. I will admit that I was pissed off. Wasn't necessarily because of being in combat. But it was from the frustration of the upper chain of command. Above our unit, no one ever wanted to stay on base. Everyone would rather be out facing the Taliban running in convoys than back on base doing stupid ass shit handed down from the upper chain of command. We did receive a presidential citation for most miles logged in a combat zone for 2009, 2010. Band of brothers and sisters we still are.
Yup my ol' skool friend used to say "If I say something that you take personally, maybe you should. I don't know." It used to piss me off, lol, until he explained it to me that he could just be saying something in general without any direction towards someone, without any knowledge, and the person listening may take it personally..... perhaps s/he should. I agree with you @Jocko Podcast, if I take something personally, if I feel convicted by someone's comments or statements, then more likely than not it may be TRUE.... I was supposed to hear it.
I needed this and I'm glad this popped up on my feed. I made this mistake there were faults on both sides. (Diesel mechanic inturn) I royally screwed up there was about am inch of mud on the entire work bay from cleaning out the Zamboani not knowing where we do it not knowing how messy it was. First time for me. And where the guy who new and my bossed messed up. They watched me do.ot without saying a word then later the tech I look up to drove a tractor through it and just about ripped my head off even tho he knew about the mess. He wouldn't let me speak I had a plan to clean it up later and faster when it was dry me trying to explain was taken as talking back or being mouthy so I got torn into and I took it very personally never had that happen before I tend to avoid conflict because I tend to just black out and start swinging. Bur even tho there were messups on both sides I think each of us learned valuable lessons about communicating more effectively
The key is to not let superiors know that certain critiques piss you off. When ever they need more production or see you becoming complacent they will mash the button to piss you off because they know your about to get pissed off and go do some frickin work
I had a combat instructor who said,"If you take shit to heart you're going to have a heart full of shit." That's always stuck with me.
Old comment but it’s good advice. Thanks
That's true... but I need to filter it for a Christian teen group LOL
Can you eat it though..
Thank you for this 👍
Tight work.
I teach my students about how to deal with this emotion often.

So NEVER FORGET!! this little nugget of wisdom.
Great advice
If someone like you were around in my earliest days of school, things would have turned out way better.
@MMAbadboy true, but not true. A closer description of anger is actually "anger is friction between the inside world and the outside".
Great words Red!
Cheers.
@ Right on!

Jocko - Jiu Jitsu
LITERALLY his answer to everything 😂
I remember being at a party in highschool (30+years ago) and opened up a door to a bedroom and some dude was on the floor doing push ups...
Fucking legend
🤔
Hoping that will be me one day
@@dentside78 I won't take that personally 😆.
Beautiful
These guys look like they`re outta Gear of War or something. Great podcast btw.
Fucking yoked
@@MAGICVINCE911 Fr, that's a full 30 years of heavy working out if I've ever seen it.
Dude lmfao
I miss that Game.
Funny you said that, Jocko himself looks like Doomguy or bj blazkowicz
I do dips and pushups before I listen to a Jocko podcast
Nick M i do it before
😂😂😂😂

Drill sergeant always told us "get over it". That was 1979. Stayed w me till now.

What was the context of your drill sergeant's comment?
I've usually found that "Get over it." is a pretty awful thing to say disguised as advice.
Thanks for your service Sir.
+Nutsaur you a Liberal?
I'm not really sure.
In New Zealand we don't really use liberal, republican etc.
The more Jocko + Echo wisdom, the better.
This video couldn't have came at a better time.
Thanks again Jocko and Echo!
Through listening to this podcast non-stop throughout the summer, you've helped me drastically change my perspective on life.
100% Dead on.
Why is Echo's left bicep looking like Thanos' chin
Stretch marks maybe
Echos biceps look like Thanos’ biceps.
He has tattoos of muscles on his arms. Look it up on google. Makes him look ultra shredded in black and white lol
That is exactly what I was thinking I swear!!
That’s confidence. You must carry an abundance mentality that you already have what you need and not only that, but that you have what is required to be successful. Of course this requires that you actually put in the work for self-improvement. Put in the work, be aware of your weaknesses and strengths, current abilities and make daily changes to move toward perfection in all areas. Of course perfection will never be achieved, but the act of pursuing it over time will bring incredible changes and results in one’s life. As you move toward the right direction, out in the work, and achieve small victories, this is where confidence comes from. This is where you don’t take things too personally.

I second that.Liberals hate this site.

Jacko should rap. His syllables come out rapid fire at 2:53
lol so true!! xD
Jason Omilig I see what your saying haha
Busta Rhymes style
Someone needs to cut it up and make a hot mixtape for the streets 🔥
LMAO!
Thanks Jocko and Echo I don't know how UA-cam knew I needed to hear this, this morning but it really helped me swallow my pride and work on fixing a problem rather than being pissed off.
I never used to take things personally and just laugh, recently I have been introduced to a lot of stress and that has made me take even jokes with friends personally and get combative to any little thing.. I’ve caught myself
jocko and echo , what you guys are doing is great in my opinion ,talking about life problems and resolutions positivity keep it up ...
Jocko you're huge help with your wisdom with these sorts of things. I'm not just hearing, I'm listening. I'm making changes and strengthening my character and I feel and see it in my day to day. Thanks dude. 💪
" when someone says something that bothers you, it probably bothers you because its true" BOOM
Definitely disagree if you are told you are untrustworthy and it isn't true that is infuriating
Sounds like something to get in your head.
Jocko, Echo, and his guests are intelligent and empowering people. This podcast is a blessing to this nation. It's humbling as a civilian, that I even have access to hearing this. First responder groups > military branches, police, firefighters are all intelligent and incredible people.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. The way echo explained to jocko that you COULD take things personally and it not be true it could still bother you if your insecure about it.

Use humor
Often using humor and leaning into the narrative works good.
Holy shit echo is jacked! I've only heard the podcast and did not put a man of that stature to his voice. Great message, great show guys.
Black Label DJs Milwaukee
haha I had only heard the voice too for some reason thought he was jus a lil scrawny white kid 😅
ex: Mike Tyson, voice dont mean shit
+Jack Frost Same here.
I was definitely thinking the same thing! Jocko’s voice makes you think he’s massive but Echo definitely surprised me
Black Label DJs Milwaukee yea he could probably fuck some shit up when he’s pissed or in combat mode
I watched a few clips of this podcast and wondered what is Echo’s role in this. Now I realize that he is the voice for normal people. Great duo!
I like listening to jocko’s podcasts while working out.
Cool
When somebody says something to us that we take personally and makes us really mad, I think we often get mad because they’ve uncovered a truth about us that we know is true, but we don’t want to look at that truth or we’re simply not ready to yet.

Screw you two guys for calling me out. I needed it. Thank you. 👌🏽
*"GO GOOGLE IT"*
Scared me a bit not gonna lie lol
Haha my brother always used to say that growing up.
Exactly when i got to your comment, he screamed " go google it" it took me by surprise 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for these videos! You are helping the world understand their ego, which is something we desperately need.

Underrated comment.
I do pushups n curls before going out so i feel like im ready to go to battle. Love the pump.
Thanks Jocko not only have u saved some friendships, they become even stronger aswell

ÆRational that’s some gaslighting type emotional manipulation. UA-cam it so you can recognize the manipulation
That’s an egotistical narcissistic asshole
My family used to do this to me constantly, which is why I stopped talking to them. Good luck.
Dude my dad did the same thing. Victim card is real. & then when you finally get mad it’s: “look at his temper. Such a bad temper”
Just clicked to me that my NPD wife did that to me all the time. Were getting divorced next month so it's just nice to get some breakthroughs from Jocko and Echo.

Thank You-honestly just what I needed
love these guys insight and refreshing to hear men intelligent but still funny and right on
I love Echo's description of insecurity, especially regarding dudes being into their physique. Just very coherent and touched on an aspect of the topic that is kind of overshadowed

Amazing insight guys. Thank you, my mind is blown!
Awesome, guys... I love the insight here.
I work in a shop with 2 lazy guys, and when I get tired it really gets to my heart.
Echo Charles sounds like Lee Syatt from The Church of What's Happening Now
He does have a oddly feminine voice. I wouldn't say that to his juiced up ass though.
Still the best podcast
🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much for this mini clip. ❤🤙
You guys are so great together 😀
Glad I found this video. Am going to ask my boss if I can be given more fulfilling work at the one year mark after seeing people hired to fill more complex task and people more junior than me given more responsibilities. I'll admit I'm not the hardest worker but I've met the standards the boss set up for me for some time now and still nothing.

That is a personal thing, but as Jocko has said do not let it control and define you.
Thanks to Jocko and Echo for your encouragement!
its a very good team you have we lean so much more as you do debate /reflects aspects of those subjects
Jocko, first off thank you. Around the 6:55 mark I have a question. How do you separate the mindset of separating the resentment and anger on harsh realities and the "address the weakness and move forward" mindset? : Feel like in order to evolve there is a driving force; that force at times comes from negative energy.
6:22 That's not a bad idea! I'm gonnna start doing that now before I go to parties and events lol
I take everything personally. EVERYTHING.
“That’s not the right response by the way….” Great wisdom! Hahahahaha 👍
How much you take something personally could indicate how true it is or it could indicate how much you were misunderstood.
Great talk
Love this advice going to show my lil sister
Great advice! I take everything to personal! 😆
Almost at 100 Echo...Happy 4th everybody!
This is totally true. A buddy I was stationed with a couple years ago was shredded and in great shape and everytime we messed with him like asking, dude did you lose weight? He would get all freaked and twitchy, it was hilarious.
I had Drill Sargant Gureeno and Drill Sargant Fallor both came over from the Rangers. They live the military 100 percent of the time. I remember they said it was 3 of them. Their one buddy took a head shot in central America they carried his body 20 kilometers to a landing zone. Just the level of devotion and heart is truly inspiring. I was only in 10 years as 88-M10 and only did one deployment to Afghanistan. Did many convoys out of leatherneck. Was on base defense during the suicide bombing in 2009 on the MEP, 4 TCN were killed and 3 marines got f'd up. In October George Cauley was coming back from Dwyer and was the 6th truck in the convoy it hit a crush plate. I also remember driving by a school bus engulfed in flames in down town Kandahar, being pinned down because the front of the convoy keeps hitting ied's then some asshole keeps shooting mortars from behind a wall. And because of the R.O.E. having our hands tied most of the time plus many other instances as well by the time we got back. I will admit that I was pissed off. Wasn't necessarily because of being in combat. But it was from the frustration of the upper chain of command. Above our unit, no one ever wanted to stay on base. Everyone would rather be out facing the Taliban running in convoys than back on base doing stupid ass shit handed down from the upper chain of command. We did receive a presidential citation for most miles logged in a combat zone for 2009, 2010. Band of brothers and sisters we still are.
You guys rock
Excellent point, the more accurate the criticism- the more defensive we get. Old saying - ... the dog don’t howl when the shoe misses him...
Yup my ol' skool friend used to say "If I say something that you take personally, maybe you should. I don't know." It used to piss me off, lol, until he explained it to me that he could just be saying something in general without any direction towards someone, without any knowledge, and the person listening may take it personally..... perhaps s/he should. I agree with you @Jocko Podcast, if I take something personally, if I feel convicted by someone's comments or statements, then more likely than not it may be TRUE.... I was supposed to hear it.
"Mr. Detachment" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reload, Recalibrate, Re-engage. Most influential message I've heard in my life. Helped House of Pain rapper Everlast to get over his daughter dying.
I needed this and I'm glad this popped up on my feed. I made this mistake there were faults on both sides. (Diesel mechanic inturn) I royally screwed up there was about am inch of mud on the entire work bay from cleaning out the Zamboani not knowing where we do it not knowing how messy it was. First time for me. And where the guy who new and my bossed messed up. They watched me do.ot without saying a word then later the tech I look up to drove a tractor through it and just about ripped my head off even tho he knew about the mess. He wouldn't let me speak I had a plan to clean it up later and faster when it was dry me trying to explain was taken as talking back or being mouthy so I got torn into and I took it very personally never had that happen before I tend to avoid conflict because I tend to just black out and start swinging. Bur even tho there were messups on both sides I think each of us learned valuable lessons about communicating more effectively
Holy cow thank you so much
We need an excerpt of echo talking about krill oil.

After episode 100. Create a compilation of krill oil endorsements from the podcast.
Donald Pump Shhh dont say Oil too loud or america will invade you oh wait never mind your Donald Pump the God emperor of America
Thank you!
The key is to not let superiors know that certain critiques piss you off. When ever they need more production or see you becoming complacent they will mash the button to piss you off because they know your about to get pissed off and go do some frickin work
I love how echo sounds as compared to how he looks 😎
Thank you. God bless, Proverbs 31
