Same here, became an LVN and feel like I'm behind the bell curve, don't have a wife, kids, and don't have my BSN. Joining the Air Force to help continue my education, and become a Doctor and serve active duty as a surgeon.
I'm in the same fucking situation. Wasted the last decade on drugs and the aftermath when getting halfway sober. Still managed to complete a Master's in Computer Science. The sad part is, there was not much else. Not many women, no new impressions, no personal progress. At 25 and 26 I hated myself for this situation. But now as I'm 27 and my plan seems to work out better and better I'm starting to see that I had to waste time in order to value it even more right now. I had to make these mistakes.
Also 26 and Army. Finally at a point in my life where I feel like I'm mentally able to make some changes that needed to happen years ago. It was action that helped my mind get there. Never too late to become better than we were yesterday. Godspeed to all of you making changes. We got this.
He's getting after it, in his 20's, is not that late getting in the game. I am 46 and am getting after it, finally. It would have been awesome if I'd have started 20 years ago, but I am doing it now. Have No Regrets, just keep getting after it and getting better.
I'm 34. I wasted like 10 years of my life. 5 of them inside my room in my bed watching my cellphone or playing computer games. In 2015 I woke up. Lost 53 pounds and bought Discipline Equals Freedom. The path is not easy but is the right one.
@@kidsundance3970 Well, I don't think you are crazy at all, I know people that entered in the military for the money, and vibrated and lived very happy there, what you think is what is important. It is an unusual objective, yes, but man, if you really want it, you can bet a lot of people envy you, go for it.
I am 29 years old and I also feel like I have been wasting a lot of time. I do not have any good memory from those 9 years, did not accomplish anything. But it's time to change, time to own my past, and start living my life. I want to have good memories from my 20s, 7 months to go. It's now or never guys, let's do it.
Stopped consuming cannabis one week ago yesterday, just put in my letter of resignation today after 2+ years of toiling around in an unstable industry, what am I to do? Get After It and Get Some!
@@thehonkening1 In university I had friends addicted to weed, their life is a complete mess now, sorry to say but they are nothing but losers. I did weed too but gladly I only smoked like 4 times, I was into pills. Man keep it clean. Let's try to do something great with our lives
This guy sounds exactly like me. I'm 28 years old and just got promoted at my company after 2 years in an entry level role. I've lost weight, gotten stronger, and am making more money, but feel remorseful about wasting so much time earlier in life. This video has such an encouraging message.
Those are good news but never depend on others to "promote" you. Only you should be worthy of promoting yourself and should do it when the moment arises.
just turned 50 and this hits home. The regrets that have weighed so heavily on me nearly destroyed me. I've lost 60 lbs and get after it every day. Every day I try to be the best me and try to be better than yesterday. Just discovered Jocko and Echo and this podcast. Absolutely love it and believe me it's resonating with this old dude.
That is the point. Your wasted years weren't wasted. You have learned what it feels like to be weak and how regret feels like. Together with the realization that nobody is coming to help. it only lets you with 2 choices. Do nothing and live a miserable life or do something about it and get after it. Facing and understanding one's inner fears, demons, addictions, vices, failures and mistakes, let go of the past, be honest, serious, and confident, and pursue what you truly, deeply, and honestly want is the only way forward.
Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgement.
10 years ago, I earned my 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I earned it the year I turned 40. Now, I'm turning 50 this year and I'm not finished. I'm a Navy veteran who loves listening to Jocko. It doesn't matter WHEN you get into the game, the most important thing is that you ARE engaging and getting into the game!
Hey man that's awesome good for you. You're still young enough. I know a guy who started Shotokan Karate at 62 and got his black belt at 65. So, you're doing just fine man. Keep it up 💪💪💪💪
I'm 39 and just got my shit together 6 months ago after daily drinking for 20 years. It's hard to think about where I'd be if I had had more stable income and could have invested and researched more when I was younger(instead of getting drunk and playing COD) so I could already be financially independent, but at least I am finally starting that path, and it's not too late. Part of why I drank so much and often was from living in the past and letting regrets beat me up; no more!
“How I’ve been a Horse’s Ass” is the title of a journal that has us take a look at the times that we haven’t been up to par. It doesn’t ask us to beat ourselves up, but just something to keep ourselves and our egos in balance. This is the fourth journal I use by this author. His approach is nicely set up in the journal’s intro.
I was a motherfucking gamer too mainly because I'm autistic and have a lot of mental disordres. COVID felt like a miracle to feed into my worthless behind but it also munched away a lot of my time. Not to mention my fear of the world diminished me quite a bit.
I needed to hear these words at this exact moment in my life. As long as you are alive it is NEVER too late to make the change and to take control of your life.
27 and getting after it. Started welding school, started exercising regularly, stopped blowing my money on trivial things (fast food, beer, material things, etc) and started saving, and now I'm pushing myself to be more open and interactive with people outside of my (small) inner circle.. Still lots of room for improvement in my life, like my erratic sleep schedule, but I'm working on it
Thank you for this clip. I sometimes get it in my head that because I'm also 26, and going through trade school as a Vet that I'm getting into the game too late. I have to put weak thoughts like that out of my mind and keep pushing forward. Keep getting after it in everything I do. I heard this podcast several months ago and it's just more fuel for the fire of discipline. To all you Troopers out there, it's never too late. That's only in your head. Stay on the path of Discipline. Stay Hard.
11 months ago I got fed up with my doctor suggesting weightloss surgery and signed up for planet fitness and started caring about what I put in my body. Exercise, eating good food,discipline,and positivity have helped me drop 120lbs so far! I'm not done yet either. GET SOME!!
@Tv 5150 and unfortunately some people are just negative in general and assume the worst of people. You sir have no clue of my history my habits my activity or my doctor! But thank you for wasting ur insignificant time to show me ur a douche bag. Try some positivity in ur life brochacho maybe you wont come off as a ass hole!
I'm 32 and have been feeling that way. I realize it's now or never to make a late run for my goals and dreams that I should have went after 10 or more years ago.
"You're the one that did it! You went through a much bigger transition than I've ever gone through in my life." Soak that up. Soak it up. Love this podcast.
I listen to you and apply it to my set of circumstances even though it isn’t about working out or being involved with one of the armed services. I am 58 year old woman who had lots of excuses. I would tell myself... I am too old, too tired and don’t have enough time. Now I get up 4am, which only gives me 4 hours sleep a night because I work 14 hour days.. I have lost 60lbs and have spent over 25 hours on my cover letter and resume so I will get the job/career I need to be in, to make a difference in the world. I take online classes to achieve this and you have helped me see me and what I need to change in my self perception. Thank you
Hello Shelly, I was scanning through these comments and yours struck me as quite inspirational ! As it's 7 months past your posting, I hope that your hard work has paid off on your goals . The nice thing about Jocko's message is that,it transcends us all,civilian or not!. By taking care of yourself,and improving,you become happier, healthier and more productive. This benefits you,your friends and family,and ultimately your own little piece of the world. That's being a positive citizen. Good job for making those positive changes for yourself... You should feel proud. Keep up the good work, and be well and strong ! Kind regards, Shawn
Thanks so much for writing this! I am also a 58 y.o. woman. I have a lot of regrets, mainly moving away from my family to marry a clunker/alcoholic. But…my mom and sister are a three hour drive away. They’re not in the other side of the country; we can visit. My kids didn’t grow up there, as I wish they had, but we visited. My mom even lived with us for three years. So the kids are close to my family; even though I wish I’d raised them out there, and they had grown up more immersed in the lives of their cousins, they still are quite close. There’s something to build on. I want to find a way to live part time in both places (here, where I have an adult son, and there). And to bring my mom out here for more long stays. We’re all still alive and can still love each other. And I want to finish my degree, and gain financial independence so I can have an independent life. Only 8-10 classes left. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Awesome man! Congrats! I’m 35 and it took me almost 3 years on and off to shake an alcohol and bad drug habit that lingered from my mid - late 20s..i got arrested, lost my license, lost my job and my Gf at that time... I contemplated just ending this thing numerous times and then found folks like jocko, Goggins, Rich Roll and of Course GOD..I’m currently back working, down 50lbs on my goal, have a girl that loves me for me and supports me training for my first Ultra marathon in the spring. I get the feeling of regret all the time. I just realized it will always be there if I allow it to be. Regret is a bad neighborhood in the mind you should never walk through alone, especially at night..so I’m trying to look forward everyday and realize that that’s the person I was (under the influence) and not the person who I am and in the process of Becoming.. don’t even know you yet very very happy for your successes because I know what that pain and suffering feels like first hand! Keep grinding homie because at the end of the day, Who’s gonna carry the MF boats and the logs!! That’s right, youuubuddy 🚣 💪🏼 #2020 #letsgo
A wise man once told me “To soon old to late smart”. At the time I was a punk kid and thought yeah whatever and blew it off. Several decades later and that statement couldn’t be any closer to the truth. Congrats and stay on the path. I’m 51 and fell off the path for a lost decade and then enter Jocko! Now on the path and getting stronger everyday. Get Some!
Great video, congratulations to this young man. I'm pushing 40 and only feel im now getting in the game. I have had things that I have accomplished but only now really feel I'm making my path. Having said that, every day I'm out their showing my kids my mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to get after what they want. There is no time looking back with regret, it's a waste of energy and only causes depression. Learn from it and move on in a positive way. Discipline Equals Freedom!!
Robert, would you care to tell me what are your objectives now that you are in the game? I mean, Discipline gives you your better self, the structure anyone should have to accomplish any dream or objective, but I wonder, what are your Personal objectives now? I mean, really personal, that is not about your kids, but that you want.
took me nine years to get my commercial pilot license because i was fucking around chasing girls and travelling (good experiences i just wished i didnt spend so much money). i regret wasting so much time messing about but now i realise the only thing i can do right now is stay on the path, get those flying hours under my belt and go hard!
Life is lived in the present. the past is gone and all that egrets will do is distract you from what you need to do today. Mistakes are lessons, learn from them and do better, let them drive you. Awesome turnaround in that guy's life, awesome.
I'm 24 years old. I got a job outside my country which pays me well and I'm trying to get some money at the moment and start a side hustle along with my job. I've been living in regret for the major part of my life after my teen age. I'm never wasting my time now on. realised this just now. I'm gonna win and that is what matters.
There’s no such thing as wasted time, everything is a journey. Without the wasted time you never would’ve figured out how to spend time efficiently. Life is simply a journey of the soul.
Y'all are hammering point after point on so many topics I've been trying to balance within my life over the past 2 or 3 years. Just when I'm feeling a bit burnt out trying to achieve the most - BOOM - motivation; engaged, persistence; engaged ...
I USED TO REGRET LIFE EVERYDAY THAT I WOKE UP AND LOOKED IN THE MIRROR... THAN I FOUND JOCKO AND ECHO... AND THAN I REALIZED NO MATTER WHAT I MUST GET AFTER IT!!! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SKINNY KNEES
THANK YOU JOCKO for your commitment to helping and guidance! For your attitude, understanding and explaining things as well as you do! Thank You So Much for all you are, do and for being yourself!
This is the best. I literally went through the same as the writer at 39. I best myself up alot the fact I wasted time. Jocko and Goggins changed my life forever this year. Discipline equals freedom!
I come from a long line of junkies (wonderful people but addicts all the same) needless to say discipline was never in my repertoire lol; but people like Jocko and Echo help me stay grounded, thanks to them, I'm working out, meditating and finally acknowledging the internal failings that led me to where I am and cause me to feel the shit i feel. Bless you brothers ✌🏽✌🏽
I used to think about all the time I have wasted and where i could be at if i hadn't wasted time, i was only 23. I felt old and once I realized how young I am in the grand scheme of things it brought that motivation and hunger back. All that dwelling on the past gets you is more wasted time! Get after it and succeed.
I just turned 25 and I've been working on my mind, body and soul for years now. 2019 will be another amazing year of growth. I work 40 hours a week as a caregiver, I do martial arts, cage fighting is my career but I'm still an amateur, I have two kids, my oldest is 8. I've been a vegetarian for 2 years and still learning about all the nutrients, herbs, vitamins and minerals that are best for my body. I just started an mma podcast on RUclips. I want to inspire people to be their best and help make the World a better place. I love this beautiful journey I'm on. I love you all! Peace brothers and sisters
@@jim1934 it's been going great! Thanks for asking. I've been receiving so many blessings I cant believe it. Like I tell my kids, good things happen to good people. My martial arts development is going great. My business is doing well and my family is thriving. I have everything I need and more. Just making the most of everyday and all my opportunities.
The right knowledge gives this kind of result. It can be understood and followed and gives us confidence that we can rely on it. Many thanks to Jocko and Charles for their dedication.
I’m 28 years old now, but I wasted 7 years after turning 18 chasing women and partying and alcohol and it got me into a lot of trouble. 3 years since I’ve been working on self improvement and yes I did waste time, but I think it’s never too late. Let’s get it gentleman
I'm 28 and I just find myself in this place where I know appreciate myself. I have doubted myself all my life and today, I know how powerful I am, if I choose to have the right attitude. I'm getting rid of anything that is toxic in my life: cigarettes, alcohol, junk food, negatives people etc.
Don't regret the time you "wasted". Rejoice the time you spent getting where you are now. You got where you are now because of your past. Most people don't ever get there. It doesn't matter what age you are or how long it took.
Great channel, thank you for what you do, for sharing your knowledge. Those are not wasted years, God can not use you greatly until you have been tested greatly, there will be hardships, stay in the fight! God Bless You All
I have been training in the fighting arts and physical training for 47 years. Everyone who wants a clear path to success I say " listen to Jocko and apply his knowlege to your own life "
I admire the hell out of the ones who have decided to go out there and take charge of their lives!! I've come to terms that I will never succeed or excell in life, however I'm glad to see others able to make it, because they've earned it!
I haven't watched many Jock life lessons yet (lots from Jordan Peterson though), so this one is a new one for me, but it sounds like a motto to engrave in my mind. "discipline=freedom" Thank you!
If jocko and his conglomerate only knew the change they have given the world . I guess I should speak for myself , to keep it brief it a lot like the young man that wrote the letter in this short video. He says he retired , I say he was promoted to command the civilian sector that are trying out for a new LIFE. If your out there Jocko and amazing team surrounding him thank you , for accepting the mission to better those around you regardless of the distance . Your voice is heard . 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Wasted time gives you urgency, drive, hyper focus & determination to achieve your goals! You could think of it as a high performance engine! When other people call it a day you're still going at it harder, faster & longer, it gets to the point you've made up all the lost ground from the past & you can get to the point of overtaking people who were previously ahead of you!
An excellent video, I've been down, I've fallen off the path a billion times, this is the time I don't fucking let it happen again. When you are at the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up if you are able to help yourself.
I'm 17 and feel like I've wasted my life every.single.day Because I'm surrounded by very accomplished people I feel worthless compared to them... I'll listen to this video whenever I feel this way (it's what brought me here in the first place) thank you so much ❤
August 14, 2018: the day I quit alcohol and marijuana. I haven't touched it since. I quit cigarettes but have relapsed several times and I'll be quitting again starting Friday. Nobody told me I had a problem but you guys, nobody around me knows that I quit except you guys-i just did it. And I got myself into archery just a short while ago. Mental health is an issue for me, I've been through some experiences I never want anyone to go through -but what's more help than my psychologist and psychiatrist and counselors is people like Jocko and Echo and YOU. People who got the courage to try, figure out the path, learn discipline and get after it. I thank you all because I think you all saved my life. Lost 40 lbs too. I'm down to 256, I'm trying for 200 or so, I'll see what feels healthiest. Anyways, I doubt anyone will see this, but if I sound like I used to live the way you do now, or if you're like I am now: keep it up. Stay on the path. You can do it. Get up, get after it. It'll be tough as hell, I'm not gonna lie to you. It'll suck -but only at first, as you adapt. You can adapt. And then you'll be better than you could have imagined. Doesn't matter where you started, what matters is where you're going and that you're getting there. And Jocko and Echo: I'm very grateful for the work you do. There's thousands of people out there who are alive today that wouldn't be because of you two. That's not an embellishment, you're literally saving lives by reaching out to people like me and drawing people together who want to see others successful. I can't thank you enough... I'll quit smoking. Maybe that'll be the proof in my mind that I can be humble and grateful. Maybe it'll teach me positive patience and wisdom? Whatever happens, I want to learn.

They drink clean water piped into their houses by a national network planned and built by men, from reservoirs and treatment plants that were planned, built and run by men. They are protected by laws invented by men, and enforced by men who risk their lives every day to protect citizens, their property and protect their country.
Women enjoy the benefits of everything men discovered, invented, created, built and maintain and are treated equally (by law) and allowed to do anything they wish in the society men created, even if lives are put at risk by allowing women to join by lowering mens higher standards for entry into the military/police and fire services.

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast; The Army taught me that any problem can be defeated with a clear plan.
Fast is slow, slow is fast

That's a really amazing quote, cheers for that.

Wow....This quote is so enlightening to me. Thanks
With stronger and larger roots to sustain itself?
But it will be a more lonely tree 😞

@@Tecolote41thank you for that.
He's getting after it, in his 20's, is not that late getting in the game. I am 46 and am getting after it, finally. It would have been awesome if I'd have started 20 years ago, but I am doing it now. Have No Regrets, just keep getting after it and getting better.
Wish you best man. Go after it.
At the age of 37, yours is the type of comment I need. Don't look back!
Good for you and God Bless!!! 😇🙏
Keep it up man. Gives me hope at 30.
43 here!
I'm 34. I wasted like 10 years of my life. 5 of them inside my room in my bed watching my cellphone or playing computer games. In 2015 I woke up. Lost 53 pounds and bought Discipline Equals Freedom. The path is not easy but is the right one.
What are your main objectives right now?
@@lucaskazama878 take the test of the French Foreign Legion later this year or at the beginning of 2020
@@kidsundance3970 So you want to become a military agent. Good for you I guess, as long as it gives you pleasure, cool.
Thanks for answering me.
@@lucaskazama878 I'm not crazy but I like the military. And I want to earn money too. And live in Europe if possible
@@kidsundance3970 Well, I don't think you are crazy at all, I know people that entered in the military for the money, and vibrated and lived very happy there, what you think is what is important. It is an unusual objective, yes, but man, if you really want it, you can bet a lot of people envy you, go for it.
Jockos mentality it's amazing. You can make it happen in the yoga room in LA Fitness let's get it on in the yoga room in LA Fitness.
I am 29 years old and I also feel like I have been wasting a lot of time. I do not have any good memory from those 9 years, did not accomplish anything. But it's time to change, time to own my past, and start living my life. I want to have good memories from my 20s, 7 months to go. It's now or never guys, let's do it.
I wish you the best. Let's do it.
I'm 28. Same boat. Let's do it.
Hope it's going well bro
'm 28 about to be 29 soon. Same feel. Lets do it.
Turning thirty in a matter of days. Changed my life at 27. Still changing it. Keep pushing forward. Make your 30's the best decade so far.
I was actually hoping today that Jocko and Echo would discuss this very topic at some point. Very metal.
Stopped consuming cannabis one week ago yesterday, just put in my letter of resignation today after 2+ years of toiling around in an unstable industry, what am I to do? Get After It and Get Some!
Hell yeah dude
Weed gets you lazy
@@kidsundance3970 Yeah, weed makes it fun to do nothing. So you have an amazing time, but accomplish absolutely nothing. I'm almost 2 years clean now.
@@thehonkening1 In university I had friends addicted to weed, their life is a complete mess now, sorry to say but they are nothing but losers. I did weed too but gladly I only smoked like 4 times, I was into pills. Man keep it clean. Let's try to do something great with our lives
Are you Alive? Good for you man
This guy sounds exactly like me. I'm 28 years old and just got promoted at my company after 2 years in an entry level role. I've lost weight, gotten stronger, and am making more money, but feel remorseful about wasting so much time earlier in life. This video has such an encouraging message.
Those are good news but never depend on others to "promote" you. Only you should be worthy of promoting yourself and should do it when the moment arises.
Echo’s shirt getting after it.
GOOD
just turned 50 and this hits home. The regrets that have weighed so heavily on me nearly destroyed me. I've lost 60 lbs and get after it every day. Every day I try to be the best me and try to be better than yesterday. Just discovered Jocko and Echo and this podcast. Absolutely love it and believe me it's resonating with this old dude.
60 lbs, good job. That's impressive!
That is the point. Your wasted years weren't wasted. You have learned what it feels like to be weak and how regret feels like. Together with the realization that nobody is coming to help. it only lets you with 2 choices. Do nothing and live a miserable life or do something about it and get after it. Facing and understanding one's inner fears, demons, addictions, vices, failures and mistakes, let go of the past, be honest, serious, and confident, and pursue what you truly, deeply, and honestly want is the only way forward.
The only thing I got over was my mental disorders but that's about it.
Success in life is the result of good judgment. Good judgment is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgement.
10 years ago, I earned my 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I earned it the year I turned 40. Now, I'm turning 50 this year and I'm not finished. I'm a Navy veteran who loves listening to Jocko. It doesn't matter WHEN you get into the game, the most important thing is that you ARE engaging and getting into the game!
Kudos to you.
Hey man that's awesome good for you. You're still young enough. I know a guy who started Shotokan Karate at 62 and got his black belt at 65. So, you're doing just fine man. Keep it up 💪💪💪💪
i’m 10th prestige in C O D played all night but i made it 👍🏽
I'm 39 and just got my shit together 6 months ago after daily drinking for 20 years. It's hard to think about where I'd be if I had had more stable income and could have invested and researched more when I was younger(instead of getting drunk and playing COD) so I could already be financially independent, but at least I am finally starting that path, and it's not too late. Part of why I drank so much and often was from living in the past and letting regrets beat me up; no more!
“How I’ve been a Horse’s Ass” is the title of a journal that has us take a look at the times that we haven’t been up to par. It doesn’t ask us to beat ourselves up, but just something to keep ourselves and our egos in balance. This is the fourth journal I use by this author. His approach is nicely set up in the journal’s intro.
I was a motherfucking gamer too mainly because I'm autistic and have a lot of mental disordres. COVID felt like a miracle to feed into my worthless behind but it also munched away a lot of my time. Not to mention my fear of the world diminished me quite a bit.
Damn Jacko is truly a real life thanos.
Bs, Thanos is his opposite lol
I needed to hear these words at this exact moment in my life. As long as you are alive it is NEVER too late to make the change and to take control of your life.
27 and getting after it. Started welding school, started exercising regularly, stopped blowing my money on trivial things (fast food, beer, material things, etc) and started saving, and now I'm pushing myself to be more open and interactive with people outside of my (small) inner circle.. Still lots of room for improvement in my life, like my erratic sleep schedule, but I'm working on it
Thank you for this clip. I sometimes get it in my head that because I'm also 26, and going through trade school as a Vet that I'm getting into the game too late. I have to put weak thoughts like that out of my mind and keep pushing forward. Keep getting after it in everything I do. I heard this podcast several months ago and it's just more fuel for the fire of discipline. To all you Troopers out there, it's never too late. That's only in your head. Stay on the path of Discipline. Stay Hard.
You're not getting in late brother, I started my welding career 4 years ago, i turn 33 I'm Feb, get after it!
11 months ago I got fed up with my doctor suggesting weightloss surgery and signed up for planet fitness and started caring about what I put in my body. Exercise, eating good food,discipline,and positivity have helped me drop 120lbs so far! I'm not done yet either. GET SOME!!
That’s awesome! Congratulations my dude. Keep up the great work 💯
@Tv 5150 and unfortunately some people are just negative in general and assume the worst of people. You sir have no clue of my history my habits my activity or my doctor! But thank you for wasting ur insignificant time to show me ur a douche bag. Try some positivity in ur life brochacho maybe you wont come off as a ass hole!
I'm 32 and have been feeling that way. I realize it's now or never to make a late run for my goals and dreams that I should have went after 10 or more years ago.
33.
Lets roll.
Good luck.
I start work, Thursday. First "real" job. Get after it!
You’re 32 Good doesn’t matter if you’re coming a bit late in the game GET AFTER IT Son
You got this!
I'm 33 I wasted the last 10 years of my life, plus high school was a waste I never learned anything!
I feel the same....
"You're the one that did it! You went through a much bigger transition than I've ever gone through in my life." Soak that up. Soak it up. Love this podcast.
I have come to associate Jocko's voice with my 6am morning walks.
I listen to you and apply it to my set of circumstances even though it isn’t about working out or being involved with one of the armed services. I am 58 year old woman who had lots of excuses. I would tell myself... I am too old, too tired and don’t have enough time. Now I get up 4am, which only gives me 4 hours sleep a night because I work 14 hour days.. I have lost 60lbs and have spent over 25 hours on my cover letter and resume so I will get the job/career I need to be in, to make a difference in the world. I take online classes to achieve this and you have helped me see me and what I need to change in my self perception. Thank you
Hello Shelly,
I was scanning through these comments and yours struck me as quite inspirational ! As it's 7 months past your posting, I hope that your hard work has paid off on your goals . The nice thing about Jocko's message is that,it transcends us all,civilian or not!. By taking care of yourself,and improving,you become happier, healthier and more productive. This benefits you,your friends and family,and ultimately your own little piece of the world. That's being a positive citizen. Good job for making those positive changes for yourself... You should feel proud. Keep up the good work, and be well and strong !
Kind regards, Shawn
I definitely can relate to you. I'm 57. Thanks and congratulations 🎉
Thanks so much for writing this! I am also a 58 y.o. woman. I have a lot of regrets, mainly moving away from my family to marry a clunker/alcoholic. But…my mom and sister are a three hour drive away. They’re not in the other side of the country; we can visit. My kids didn’t grow up there, as I wish they had, but we visited. My mom even lived with us for three years. So the kids are close to my family; even though I wish I’d raised them out there, and they had grown up more immersed in the lives of their cousins, they still are quite close. There’s something to build on. I want to find a way to live part time in both places (here, where I have an adult son, and there). And to bring my mom out here for more long stays. We’re all still alive and can still love each other. And I want to finish my degree, and gain financial independence so I can have an independent life. Only 8-10 classes left. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Worst regret is knowing what you could have done but chose not to out of comfort. It's hell on Earth and completely shatters your brain
that's so true.. going through the same
Awesome man! Congrats! I’m 35 and it took me almost 3 years on and off to shake an alcohol and bad drug habit that lingered from my mid - late 20s..i got arrested, lost my license, lost my job and my Gf at that time... I contemplated just ending this thing numerous times and then found folks like jocko, Goggins, Rich Roll and of
Course GOD..I’m currently back working, down 50lbs on my goal, have a girl that loves me for me and supports me training for my first Ultra marathon in the spring. I get the feeling of regret all the time. I just realized it will always be there if I allow it to be. Regret is a bad neighborhood in the mind you should never walk through alone, especially at night..so I’m trying to look forward everyday and realize that that’s the person I was (under the influence) and not the person who I am and in the process of
Becoming.. don’t even know you yet very very happy for your successes because I know what that pain and suffering feels like first hand! Keep grinding homie because at the end of the day, Who’s gonna carry the MF boats and the logs!! That’s right, youuubuddy 🚣 💪🏼 #2020 #letsgo
Who’s gonna carry the boats ?!?!?!
A wise man once told me “To soon old to late smart”. At the time I was a punk kid and thought yeah whatever and blew it off. Several decades later and that statement couldn’t be any closer to the truth. Congrats and stay on the path. I’m 51 and fell off the path for a lost decade and then enter Jocko! Now on the path and getting stronger everyday. Get Some!
Great video, congratulations to this young man. I'm pushing 40 and only feel im now getting in the game. I have had things that I have accomplished but only now really feel I'm making my path. Having said that, every day I'm out their showing my kids my mistakes, how to avoid them, and how to get after what they want. There is no time looking back with regret, it's a waste of energy and only causes depression. Learn from it and move on in a positive way. Discipline Equals Freedom!!
Robert Horn IV 10/4
Gimme 20
Robert, would you care to tell me what are your objectives now that you are in the game? I mean, Discipline gives you your better self, the structure anyone should have to accomplish any dream or objective, but I wonder, what are your Personal objectives now? I mean, really personal, that is not about your kids, but that you want.
took me nine years to get my commercial pilot license because i was fucking around chasing girls and travelling (good experiences i just wished i didnt spend so much money).
i regret wasting so much time messing about but now i realise the only thing i can do right now is stay on the path, get those flying hours under my belt and go hard!
Life is lived in the present. the past is gone and all that egrets will do is distract you from what you need to do today. Mistakes are lessons, learn from them and do better, let them drive you. Awesome turnaround in that guy's life, awesome.
The supportive mindset you promote is truly a warrior gift.
I'm 24 years old. I got a job outside my country which pays me well and I'm trying to get some money at the moment and start a side hustle along with my job. I've been living in regret for the major part of my life after my teen age. I'm never wasting my time now on. realised this just now. I'm gonna win and that is what matters.
There’s no such thing as wasted time, everything is a journey. Without the wasted time you never would’ve figured out how to spend time efficiently. Life is simply a journey of the soul.
Man that dude is a beast....I wish to know him...he got back his life by himself by listening to wise people...
Y'all are hammering point after point on so many topics I've been trying to balance within my life over the past 2 or 3 years. Just when I'm feeling a bit burnt out trying to achieve the most - BOOM - motivation; engaged, persistence; engaged ...
I USED TO REGRET LIFE EVERYDAY THAT I WOKE UP AND LOOKED IN THE MIRROR...
THAN I FOUND JOCKO AND ECHO...
AND THAN I REALIZED NO MATTER WHAT I MUST GET AFTER IT!!!
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SKINNY KNEES
How can you have skinny knees? Knees is a damn bone!
Skinny knees just mean your quads and calves will stand out more, IF you never skip leg day!
Just get amputation. Im tired of your skinny knees
@notlikeu it's a joke lmao
THANK YOU JOCKO for your commitment to helping and guidance! For your attitude, understanding and explaining things as well as you do! Thank You So Much for all you are, do and for being yourself!
Awesome and 110% correct!!! Love the words to fight on and encouragement!!! 🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is the gift
That is why it is called the present.
This feels very appropriate to me this morning as it’s something that has been weighing on my mind.
Every wise man was once a fool
That story in the beginning. Really needed that. Thank you for your service, Jocko!
Echo sounds like he’s about to cry every time he talks :))
This is the best. I literally went through the same as the writer at 39. I best myself up alot the fact I wasted time. Jocko and Goggins changed my life forever this year. Discipline equals freedom!
Yesssss! "I'm not who I use to be, but who i use to be is made me who i am today. "
I come from a long line of junkies (wonderful people but addicts all the same) needless to say discipline was never in my repertoire lol; but people like Jocko and Echo help me stay grounded, thanks to them, I'm working out, meditating and finally acknowledging the internal failings that led me to where I am and cause me to feel the shit i feel. Bless you brothers ✌🏽✌🏽
The deadlift improvement so had to be Jocko's tea
@Xaxa xa wtf is a crosslift deadlift? How????? Can a deadlift be ANYTHING other than a deadlift? Youre doing me a confuse...
barerobert yeah, even in legit powerlifting meets they allow a little back rounding. But not hitching.
@Xaxa xa
if it's a one rep max there might be "non perfect" form, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Doubt he got to that number with bad form.
I used to think about all the time I have wasted and where i could be at if i hadn't wasted time, i was only 23. I felt old and once I realized how young I am in the grand scheme of things it brought that motivation and hunger back. All that dwelling on the past gets you is more wasted time! Get after it and succeed.
I just turned 25 and I've been working on my mind, body and soul for years now. 2019 will be another amazing year of growth. I work 40 hours a week as a caregiver, I do martial arts, cage fighting is my career but I'm still an amateur, I have two kids, my oldest is 8. I've been a vegetarian for 2 years and still learning about all the nutrients, herbs, vitamins and minerals that are best for my body. I just started an mma podcast on RUclips. I want to inspire people to be their best and help make the World a better place. I love this beautiful journey I'm on. I love you all! Peace brothers and sisters
Good for you. It's been a year, how is it going?
@@jim1934 it's been going great! Thanks for asking. I've been receiving so many blessings I cant believe it. Like I tell my kids, good things happen to good people. My martial arts development is going great. My business is doing well and my family is thriving. I have everything I need and more. Just making the most of everyday and all my opportunities.
The right knowledge gives this kind of result. It can be understood and followed and gives us confidence that we can rely on it. Many thanks to Jocko and Charles for their dedication.
This video and the commentaries are too real, and really good as well. Thank you all.
I’m 28 years old now, but I wasted 7 years after turning 18 chasing women and partying and alcohol and it got me into a lot of trouble. 3 years since I’ve been working on self improvement and yes I did waste time, but I think it’s never too late. Let’s get it gentleman
I'm 28 and I just find myself in this place where I know appreciate myself. I have doubted myself all my life and today, I know how powerful I am, if I choose to have the right attitude. I'm getting rid of anything that is toxic in my life: cigarettes, alcohol, junk food, negatives people etc.
"I have doubted myself all my life and today" i felt that....every single decision im my life. It's time to live under our rules!!
Pray you all are wise.
With how your time is spent,
here there are no refunds.
The path reveals ident.
Alot of powerful words ive heard you guys speak, but this is what i needed to hear the most right now thank you Jocko and Echo, much love!
thank you fighters greetings from kosovo albanian keep doing this you are treasure
I did not know I needed this until NOW. Good question and so fun to hear about other subscribers/ listeners thriving, keep at it!! Good talk.
Life changing, thank you guys.
Yeah me too , I'm grateful for their time and services!!!
Don't regret the time you "wasted". Rejoice the time you spent getting where you are now. You got where you are now because of your past. Most people don't ever get there. It doesn't matter what age you are or how long it took.
Great channel, thank you for what you do, for sharing your knowledge. Those are not wasted years, God can not use you greatly until you have been tested greatly, there will be hardships, stay in the fight! God Bless You All
I have been training in the fighting arts and physical training for 47 years.
Everyone who wants a clear path to success
I say " listen to Jocko and apply his knowlege to your own life "
I admire the hell out of the ones who have decided to go out there and take charge of their lives!! I've come to terms that I will never succeed or excell in life, however I'm glad to see others able to make it, because they've earned it!
Man Jocko Willink's voice is so motivational .
This podcast is actually perfect,,, both of their personalities work so well together
jocko you give me so much hope man
bless you so much.
Jocko - "Must be some kind of an internet thing."
LOL
Y’all are legit. Calling out a man and his achievements! Satisfying.
Awesome video!!! Good job to the man in reference.
Currently 19. Found this early. Feeling blessed 🙏🙏🙏
4:07 Thank You! I needed to hear this, thank you.
So true about bad times and a persons weak times are not wasted if you push through and beyond them. Turns into ‘fuel’
Always forward. Never a step back. Not even to obtain a boost!
I haven't watched many Jock life lessons yet (lots from Jordan Peterson though), so this one is a new one for me, but it sounds like a motto to engrave in my mind. "discipline=freedom" Thank you!
If jocko and his conglomerate only knew the change they have given the world . I guess I should speak for myself , to keep it brief it a lot like the young man that wrote the letter in this short video. He says he retired , I say he was promoted to command the civilian sector that are trying out for a new LIFE. If your out there Jocko and amazing team surrounding him thank you , for accepting the mission to better those around you regardless of the distance . Your voice is heard . 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽
Awesome video! Thank you as always Jocko. And congrats on all the accomplishments to the guy you were referring to! GET SOME
Never to late to get in the game. The mind is always trainable.
This is awesome I always had this regret.
I literally wanted a video on this exact topic from Jocko. I can't believe it exists. Thanks :)
Legit I'm crying for that guy bro :,)
Wasted time gives you urgency, drive, hyper focus & determination to achieve your goals! You could think of it as a high performance engine! When other people call it a day you're still going at it harder, faster & longer, it gets to the point you've made up all the lost ground from the past & you can get to the point of overtaking people who were previously ahead of you!
Fantastic work! All of you.
4:15 "You're in the game now."
Jocko & Echo are Super +++ Energy! 💪 💪
An excellent video, I've been down, I've fallen off the path a billion times, this is the time I don't fucking let it happen again. When you are at the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up if you are able to help yourself.
Came into the game at the age of 31. So don't you worry kid we are all in the same boat.
Looking forward always looking back with regrets is a waste of time but they are life lessons to learn from it more discipline more freedom
Your the man keep on your righteous path an helping the human race.
"The highest human act is to inspire" not a lot of people manage to do that in life, you allready did it at least once at 26, thats great man
Jocko apsalutely brilliant making people stronger minded and ready for life thank you mate 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm 17 and feel like I've wasted my life every.single.day
Because I'm surrounded by very accomplished people I feel worthless compared to them...
I'll listen to this video whenever I feel this way (it's what brought me here in the first place) thank you so much ❤
Comparison is the thief of joy
August 14, 2018: the day I quit alcohol and marijuana. I haven't touched it since. I quit cigarettes but have relapsed several times and I'll be quitting again starting Friday. Nobody told me I had a problem but you guys, nobody around me knows that I quit except you guys-i just did it. And I got myself into archery just a short while ago. Mental health is an issue for me, I've been through some experiences I never want anyone to go through -but what's more help than my psychologist and psychiatrist and counselors is people like Jocko and Echo and YOU. People who got the courage to try, figure out the path, learn discipline and get after it. I thank you all because I think you all saved my life. Lost 40 lbs too. I'm down to 256, I'm trying for 200 or so, I'll see what feels healthiest.
Anyways, I doubt anyone will see this, but if I sound like I used to live the way you do now, or if you're like I am now: keep it up. Stay on the path. You can do it. Get up, get after it. It'll be tough as hell, I'm not gonna lie to you. It'll suck -but only at first, as you adapt. You can adapt. And then you'll be better than you could have imagined. Doesn't matter where you started, what matters is where you're going and that you're getting there.
And Jocko and Echo: I'm very grateful for the work you do. There's thousands of people out there who are alive today that wouldn't be because of you two. That's not an embellishment, you're literally saving lives by reaching out to people like me and drawing people together who want to see others successful. I can't thank you enough... I'll quit smoking. Maybe that'll be the proof in my mind that I can be humble and grateful. Maybe it'll teach me positive patience and wisdom? Whatever happens, I want to learn.
The best podcast ever! Period.
