Jocko, I am a 73-year-old woman. Someone might think I would have no reason to be here listening to your podcasts. But I want you to know you have been an invaluable inspiration and teacher to me. As I have aged and found myself with the illnesses and inabilities that often come in this time, and facing chronic illness, surgeries, and the threat of limitations, I check in with you everyday because you always have something to say that helps me steel my thinking, and my will, to keep recreating a life that I love, and hopefully I can make matter to the world. Thank you so much
Hello Carolyn, You are 73 years young ! And such a positive soul from your lovely note. Be well,best wishes and prayers for you and your physical health! Kind Regards, Shawn
Just a thought... Have you (Carolyn) thought about D&D? The world needs good storytellers, to usher in the next generations of storytellers, wise cracking actors, and Players as well as GM's (Game Masters)... You only need your creativity and the strength to roll dice... OF COURSE, there are other systems, games, and settings. Only that when I say D&D, everyone seems to know what I mean... In any case, best hopes you find your way... and GET AFTER IT! ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 d&d is one of the more elegant and graceful systems of art fusing with imagination and adventure, with consequences and rewards, mistakes and successes. it would behoove everyone on earth to at least for one day of their life, spend time getting their geek/nerd on to the max and letting that creativity grab hold. its one of the very few ways modern people get to feel the connection and fellowship of many minds solving the same problems in unique and hilarious and interesting ways. it's more than an experience for those that love it and see its value. It's a life-long commitment to those that get the bug. There's simply no other possible (they see anyway, whether true or not) where they can achieve that creative bond. Which is a cosmically powerful force. When the walls fall back and two minds or three, or four are syncing up. It's magical to watch, and to be a part of.
“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.
It's kinda funny bc Jocko's voice and character matches his appearance and Echo has the same appearance but he kinda has a nerdy voice which is relatable to me
I’ve been afraid of failing at my dream and taken little action. Time to risk the dreams death!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting from the Alchemist bro 😎
Not gonna lie, grew up a small-town Texas boy, was always intimidated by big city traffic. I get/understand that mindset. That being said, about a year ago I was tour-managing a band on an East Coast run and parallel parked a sprinter van with a trailer in the middle of Manhattan. I now fear absolutely nothing. We are capable of fearsomely wonderful things, y’all.
Josh A[SMR] We did Boston the day before, venue wound up having a pretty decent parking situation for us. Thought traffic was pretty decent there, actually. The only big hurdle for that gig was making sure we didn’t get can-opener’d on Storrow
“Get comfortable being uncomfortable.” The part on asking questions reminded me of “the person that knows how will always have a job, the person that knows why will always be their boss”.
My defining moment was my lowest moment my lowest moment ended up becoming my best moment. In 2019 I lost my father my uncle and my grandmother and broke up with a borderline personality disorder. When I thought my life couldn't get worse I said to hell with it I was tired of the pity parties and feeling sorry for myself so I set a goal. I had an exercised in 20 years so my goal was to do cardiovascular exercise six times a week for the entire year. I started out with doing 5 minutes of cardio six times a week. It's been 25 months I now run 3.5 mi every single morning on about a 9 minute pace six times a week. Seven times a week I do yoga for half an hour as soon as I wake up and I do yoga before I go to bed. 3 to 4 times a week I lift weights high reps low weights for joint strengthening. Never f****** give up.
I could listen to Jocko & Echo all day! I didn’t have a good childhood, nor a better life as I grew older .. No mentors, no parenting pretty much on my own .. I’m 53 , but listening to them makes me realize, life is what you make it @ how you live it .. It’s all on you ! A true fan forever....
So true! I used to ask people the exact thing when I was younger and so excited for my life. The majority responded with no dreams, nothing they wanted to accomplish, no idea what could make them happy. No aspirations! How can you arrive without a destination? I still remember the first person I asked and the shock I was in when they had no dreams. That's the first time I truly appreciated how my father raised me to count on myself, depend on myself, be accountable of myself. Never have to depend on another person for my happiness, my survival, my successes, and same as my failures are mine, no one else. Go out and make mistakes, learn from them and keep going. Life can be so rewarding when you realize the control you have over your life and knowing you worked hard to get there. It's not as rewarding if you can't see how/why you are where you are and don't know what will make you happy. That's a personal problem.
For me fear of driving after an accident may have subconsciously been holding me back from getting out my zipcode area to the better paying job areas. Your Take "Extreme Ownership" book and philosophies definitely helped me a lot into getting back out on the highway of life again. and away from toxic small town limited mindsets as well.
I've spent my adult life being a slave in my own mind, fearful of conflict with anyone. "Go with the flow" isn't working anymore, it's causing conflict with others in my life because I basically stand back and let someone take the steering wheel because I don't want to deal with the possiblilty of conflict. I don't even know where to begin taking my life back.
a free mind is capable of anything you set out to do. you aint free if your mind isn't. all starts from there. cheers guys we need more awareness on this dammed planet
I’ve reached that comfort stage in life. As a baseball coach I have also realized that I have lost my fire. Last year I decided to challenge myself with a new challenge. To set a Guinness World Record. I’m doing it for myself and my players. Since that time I have come across you and you pod cast. It started with a book called Extreme Ownership. I use it as a play book for my life and my team. Sept 12th of this year I will make my attempt. Sept 12 I will complete my goal. Thanks for your inspiration
What was hugely mind expanding for me was when i was 9 years old my family moved from England to Canada, it was very eye opening, to the point that i nevevr really had friends because I was interested in so much more than the small town I lived in...My parents always knew from a young age I'd leave Canada just because they always felt like I'd have a unique path in life, well i now live in France and living in the French speaking world has been just as eye opening as emigrating as a kid... my goal since I was 8 years old has been to become a pilot and I'm doing my flight trainning right now (i have vlogs of it). Never been so happy in my life!
Man that sounds fun. I’ve moved around a bit, but only within the US. I’ve actually never left America and it sucks, but I just haven’t had the opportunity growing up. I want to leave the country and see more of the world.
@@specialknees6798 Experiencing more of the world is a totally aheivable goal to have in life, you actually don't have to go far or spend a lot to have a great adventure, one of my hobbies is walking around whatever town im in and just exploring it.
@@HoltAircraft yeah the thing is, the town I live in is pretty spread out, and there’s not much to do here at all. I do have friends but not many I care for. I spend most time at school or working out.
I'm using Jocko as motivation and mental clarity to help myself get through Boot Camp. I have some anxiety issues that tend to make me shut down but I'm trying to work on it
Many years of my life I took the time to step out of a comfort zone. Many times, still do, question not just societal norms but also my own perspectives to REASON. Constantly the skeptic, constantly growing and not satisfied. Happy every day too.
The content and words these guys put in display can be life changing if you take it to heart. So much of their advice I can use. Definitely wish I would have found them sooner. Their words are that much better on bad days and days where it's hard to get out of bed. Get up, get going and life your life to the fullest. Keep the pride and ego in check and get after it. Be humble, genuine, kind and respectful but take no bull. Get rid of the chip on your shoulder. Make the most and the best if every day and every situation. Many things these guys have said that I definitely needed to hear! Thank you for everything.

He makes a true point when he mentions other people are better at other things than others example I have extreme strength even pissed off a couple body builders as my skinny ass lifted the same weight they did but we're just made different.
Please. Please. Please!! Keep getting it done 👍💪♥️♥️♥️🙏 I heard you on Wilkow Majority about a week ago. Thank you for all you are doing to continue to give back 🇺🇸
People don't ask questions when they have too much trust for the people, or institutions without verifying. You should only trust good authority, when it proves itself unworthy, believe that it is. Sometimes people don't trust the narrative, but out of fear they acquiesce because they don't want to be "different". /:) ..everyone wants to be a rebel when it's in vogue, but not when its the noble thing to do and makes them public enemy #1.
Thank you. Went for a run today after a period of laziness. It was tough. I’m doing it again tomorrow but this time it will be at 6 am. It will be difficult but I’ve removed my choice in the matter. Thank you for sharing the lessons you have learned with so many.
It makes good sense to do what's right. Not go along with negative behaviors or not questioning bad and negative behaviors. Not just going along with doing what you are told. Especially when it's not fight or beneficial to you.
Thank you jocko... great segment its relevant for ne now I could use some encouragement rite now for the last 39 yrs in leaving my trade for another starting this Monday an I cant wait Ken L.INY
This is such a fantastic podcast. I think this is something all individuals need to listen to because this perfectly describes today's problems and talks about how to fix them. It also is a major motivational speech and I plan to listen to this everyday to break my habit of procrastination and work towards my goal of becoming a game developer. I think if you know someone who needs motivating or explaining of how they might be wrong show them this as this is a great video to show them.
The best reason to get out of my comfort zone I've seen is that if I do, it will cost effort, but my comfort zone will expand slightly and if I don't, my comfort zone will gradually shrink until the things that used to be routine become difficult again.
I want to have a stronger mentality. Change the way i think and improve myself mentally to be more resilient towards the possibility of failure and consistent with my obligations.
Having listened to this podcast for about 7 minutes, I came to realize that I’ve been controlled by emotional manipulation for most of my life. At least now I know what it is, now I have to fix it.
This think big meta cognitive approach is fantastic. Just keep doing what you do brother you're making a difference with those who value the lesson and if we listen real hard; we can overcome the obstacles by setting goals. The value of criticalthinking expand the mind to do things that we didn't think we can do I have a great guest for you who's the mind of a champion two time world champion swimmer Greg Jagenburg who was on the team that Jimmy Carter pulled from competing in Moscow in 1980. He has a great story about the desire for success you would love it. 🇺🇸🙏
Just this little bit of wisdom from Jacko makes me wonder how much more he can share especially if he was ask to contribute to the book Deliberate Discomfort
A person cannot just decide to become the best at something. No person can be the best at anything. But any person can be the best at something. That's the whole game, fam. That's the long and short right there. Because that thing that you can do better than anyone else, is precisely the same thing that give you the meaning and confidence it takes to really start to explore this thing called life. If you find that thing early, you've found happiness for life. Unfortunately it's not easy to find. We don't exactly live in a world where expanding that understanding in children is prioritized. On the contrary, schools constrict imagination and wonder, not expand it. But, I digress. Just wanted to echo Jocko's very truthful statement regarding the idea "we can all be whatever we want" It's simply not true. The point is to become what you were meant to be. Not what you think you should be. Those two ideas are very at odds with each other.
Jockow needs some Plato! What part of the psyche is choosing your goals, the irrational appetitive part, the spirited honor loving part, or the rational truth loving part? Once you can identify yourself with the rational part your life moves closer to something we'd call flourishing. Jockow put fourth a large part of Plato's thesis in the Republic with this clip without even knowing it. That's awesome!
Thx, gentlemen. I appreciate your real talk and positive messages. It's so easy to slip into bad habits and negative thinking. Your podcast inspires me focus on what's important.
You've got me at it...a little long I know but yes you are nailing this elusive beast, our tendency to regress to a childish and immature way of thinking and behaving, gross egoistic and restrictive ... What are the alternatives and how can we really apply them ? Absolutely totally and if someone, as grounded as you, say it , the dream you need to get ...real , examine what is happening to take a realistic look at resources and what's on offer you can't force anything good. But do we ? Innately it seems the struggle often seems not worthwhile, while the alternatives are so friggin easy. Then there' s other worlds yep absolutely, I remember the time in an in-depth psychotherapy group in fact over a period of years in several, quite frequently my mind was blown by the willingness to share personal stuff and so we all got bolder or as an analysand going to a place in my psyche, then walking out of the session to go home thinking clearly as the fog had gone, this to me IS the point to see the "old happening BUT NOT feel compelled by automatic identification with it to go along, this IS the Sinqua non of personal development otherwise there is no other world no0 other view. Or just occasionally in meditation or for a walk or when camping in a my favourite spot in Exmoor, "an inner vision " , have for years struggled with reading some of the writings or the transcribed dialogues of the great masters thinking how is that possible, of Upsani, of Nisagdatta of Aurobindo their worlds open to the degree where almost anything is possible and last night reading for the umpteenth time about the boat incident again the famous now mythological snippet of the humble fisherman definitely a Navy seal type, Peter if it is you ....come Peter and him stepping out of the boat, only to become bound again by the internal wave of his appearance his small world closing in and sink, why did you doubt Jesus asks him. Sadly our conditioning is so great we either rebel into reckless, unrealistic dreaming and do stupid things or recoil back into all those bad ingrained habits, the alternative perhaps is to wake everyday check-in with what is or what appears and reflect some ,I use the term candidly IT APPEARS but actually what IS, isn't quite the same at all, appearance can be manipulated. To stand back, it is so easy to be taken over by these ingrained mental grooves and habits. Oh I must have this or that ....An endless unrecognised quagmire of lost opportunity ... Good habits are well mythical they don't exist but new directions need continually reinforcing because that ever so thin layer of the prefrontal cortex is slowly starting to channel and master the cruder energies of the limbic reactionary system and overcome the grooves in its more basic substrata, the cortex. Here is the problem as you say we are so open to "others" some of whom are deliberately duping us. Do others actually know or are this itself the problem, the proll mentality, the constricted dream of packing boxes to earn to pay the f..rent to keep her indoors happy or .....? Many intelligent scientists followed Hitler, they weren't immoral to start with but slowly gave way through inducement, money, power sex drugs and other accolades bestowed upon them into to behaving like beasts, like you're Panzram video, giving into the comfort-loving deadening reptilian animal brain, like the poor Perta Rican who dreams of making money and kills himself and others in the process to obtain that "narrow dream" and serves the "money" god. What works, a little change here and there for me the now ubiquitous cold shower.........you've done it for now 2 years and it works I have to tell myself every morning and YES it really works now I can reflect a little and but know that ....It works so a morning reboot some time spent in reflection, mediation and ...bang I'm in the again now what? Yes, I am afraid to say for me it is the internet, I can use it for good research, valuable info, as a gateway to new things or it is weakness, a source just of stimulus and distraction of endless blind avenues and frustration and time wasted. It plugs right into the "carnal" fleshly mind via the groove ridden cortex, the need for stimulus and fantasy! The force of desire Li Gotama, desire, desire and the endless round of constricted body-mind compulsion, played out on the web, feeding unrealistic dreams and preventing me from the necessary struggle with change, nothing good comes easy it just doesn't and yes as Philip Larkin you parents F...you up, but now that f..upness is one hundred times more dangerous because of the internet our moral development our self-control cannot keep pace with it and it is helping mainly to destroy the human race, it is a tool to be used very carefully and wisely but if used like this as a car to get from A---to---B great but as a child might at a fairground it is a tool of the devil himself ! We have Billionaires planning to live on Mars, narcissistic presidents unable to take on board criticism, celebrities and Hollywood personalities being consulted on philosophy, we have pop psychology everywhere and the endless round of superficial sound bites, we have the face of pseudo-genuiness like porn candy hooking us into believing this is the whole story , whilst underneath the motives are greed and selfishness. We big money going everywhere except where it should in short the internet has speeded our tendency to "corruption" at a rate undreamt of till we are one step away from a precarious end whether it be climate disaster or world war 3. Is there a way out? What can we do individually not to get caught up in it all ? Big Questions Jocko .
It's really never a question if you can or can't, it's a question of whether you will or you won't. They only thing that needs to be determined is do they have the capability to accomplish the subject matter.
1111- Manifesting's, opportunity's, make a wish. 111- Awakening, pay attention, maybe ur a light worker, creation. 222- Partnership, relationships, connections, angel guides are near. 333- life's going well, enlightenment. 444- Stability, protected, soported. 555- Change. 666- Be aware of your thoughts, worldey things, healing of trama/ greed, balence. 777- Your in tune with universe, purpose, angelic beings are watching you. 888- Progress, Manifesting, abundance. 999- Ending in one cycle, and a new cycle coming.
I feel like a big thing controlling people (at least myself) is debt. If you can pay off all your debt, you’re freeing yourself from such a powerful shackle. If you’re debt free, you can quit the job you hate, save up for a business venture, travel the world... sky’s the limit. This is definitely motivating to get my sh!t paid off and get moving with my life!
The problem is for some people they can’t get out. Some people can’t even leave their homes either from fear or other things. Maybe they live in the hood and going any further than what they used to is a fear for them or because everytime some one lays ground work to get successful they die. That’s some people’s reality. For some things you have to be willing to die to get it.

Many things these guys have said that I definitely needed to hear! Thank you for everything.
Constant improvement. On my mind all the time.
Better man
Better father
Better leader
Better person

“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.
When Jocko is listening to Audio books he doesn’t stop them when he has to talk on the phone, audio books stop to listen to Jocko!
that was quite a mouth full but I liked it.
Volvox that’s what she said

2.50 i always wanted someone dissect this problem with kids and their parents
He makes a true point when he mentions other people are better at other things than others example I have extreme strength even pissed off a couple body builders as my skinny ass lifted the same weight they did but we're just made different.
Jocko and David are my motivators if I can say so, watching these 2 warriors speak fills me with motivation to study and work out to better myself
The opening speech is *powerful.*
Please. Please. Please!! Keep getting it done 👍💪♥️♥️♥️🙏 I heard you on Wilkow Majority about a week ago. Thank you for all you are doing to continue to give back 🇺🇸
People don't ask questions when they have too much trust for the people, or institutions without verifying. You should only trust good authority, when it proves itself unworthy, believe that it is.
Sometimes people don't trust the narrative, but out of fear they acquiesce because they don't want to be "different". /:) ..everyone wants to be a rebel when it's in vogue, but not when its the noble thing to do and makes them public enemy #1.
Well stated. We must be displipened to understand and question everything.
Thank you. Went for a run today after a period of laziness. It was tough. I’m doing it again tomorrow but this time it will be at 6 am. It will be difficult but I’ve removed my choice in the matter. Thank you for sharing the lessons you have learned with so many.
whatever I think of everyday, most of thoughts about life, problems etc... Jocko says it, and discussing it, awesome
What he says at 13:30 is soooo important. In my own words I say "you don't know what you don't know"
Teachers raise their hands to ask Jocko questions.
It makes good sense to do what's right. Not go along with negative behaviors or not questioning bad and negative behaviors. Not just going along with doing what you are told. Especially when it's not fight or beneficial to you.
Thank you jocko... great segment its relevant for ne now I could use some encouragement rite now for the last 39 yrs in leaving my trade for another starting this Monday an I cant wait Ken L.INY
Good to have momentum in your life.
Echo Charles is amazing!
This is such a fantastic podcast. I think this is something all individuals need to listen to because this perfectly describes today's problems and talks about how to fix them. It also is a major motivational speech and I plan to listen to this everyday to break my habit of procrastination and work towards my goal of becoming a game developer. I think if you know someone who needs motivating or explaining of how they might be wrong show them this as this is a great video to show them.
The best reason to get out of my comfort zone I've seen is that if I do, it will cost effort, but my comfort zone will expand slightly and if I don't, my comfort zone will gradually shrink until the things that used to be routine become difficult again.
these vids have honestly been a blessing. I do not mean to sound corny, thank you
Holding every thought captive
I want to have a stronger mentality. Change the way i think and improve myself mentally to be more resilient towards the possibility of failure and consistent with my obligations.
9 months later I’m just finding out E is from Kauai. The first island I lived on, beautiful place. I love this podcast
Man, Jocko hit home wit this subject matter, Like a Rat in a cage...🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎼🎶
Having listened to this podcast for about 7 minutes, I came to realize that I’ve been controlled by emotional manipulation for most of my life. At least now I know what it is, now I have to fix it.
'Your Erroneous Zones' by Dr.Dyer
Ditto!!!!
Echo's chuckles are the best
I hope to be as firm as jocko one day 🤩
I love these podcasts. The church of Jocko.. Im a member🦅👍
Jocko show us that all of us suffering, and we need to control all things.
This think big meta cognitive approach is fantastic. Just keep doing what you do brother you're making a difference with those who value the lesson and if we listen real hard; we can overcome the obstacles by setting goals. The value of criticalthinking expand the mind to do things that we didn't think we can do I have a great guest for you who's the mind of a champion two time world champion swimmer Greg Jagenburg who was on the team that Jimmy Carter pulled from competing in Moscow in 1980. He has a great story about the desire for success you would love it. 🇺🇸🙏
Just this little bit of wisdom from Jacko makes me wonder how much more he can share especially if he was ask to contribute to the book Deliberate Discomfort
One of the best things I’ve ever heard.
The code would be a good name for the new podcast!!!
Jocko I cant lie we shared the exact same childhood! My dad was a drill sergeant in Army!
Exactly what I needed, thank you JOCKO!
Jocko hit me back man !!!!
JOCKO ALWAYS RELEVANT.
in other words BE CONCIOUS! and seek truth with an open heart and mind.
A person cannot just decide to become the best at something. No person can be the best at anything. But any person can be the best at something.
That's the whole game, fam. That's the long and short right there. Because that thing that you can do better than anyone else, is precisely the same thing that give you the meaning and confidence it takes to really start to explore this thing called life.
If you find that thing early, you've found happiness for life. Unfortunately it's not easy to find. We don't exactly live in a world where expanding that understanding in children is prioritized. On the contrary, schools constrict imagination and wonder, not expand it.
But, I digress. Just wanted to echo Jocko's very truthful statement regarding the idea "we can all be whatever we want"
It's simply not true. The point is to become what you were meant to be. Not what you think you should be. Those two ideas are very at odds with each other.
Jockow needs some Plato! What part of the psyche is choosing your goals, the irrational appetitive part, the spirited honor loving part, or the rational truth loving part? Once you can identify yourself with the rational part your life moves closer to something we'd call flourishing. Jockow put fourth a large part of Plato's thesis in the Republic with this clip without even knowing it. That's awesome!
Thx, gentlemen. I appreciate your real talk and positive messages. It's so easy to slip into bad habits and negative thinking. Your podcast inspires me focus on what's important.
Some really good points to think about, thanks guys.
Here some food for thought:
Are my thoughts useful?
How do they behave?
And I think to myself .... What a Wonderful World
You've got me at it...a little long I know but yes you are nailing this elusive beast, our tendency to regress to a childish and immature way of thinking and behaving, gross egoistic and restrictive ...
What are the alternatives and how can we really apply them ?
Absolutely totally and if someone, as grounded as you, say it , the dream you need to get ...real , examine what is happening to take a realistic look at resources and what's on offer you can't force anything good.
But do we ?
Innately it seems the struggle often seems not worthwhile, while the alternatives are so friggin easy.
Then there' s other worlds yep absolutely, I remember the time in an in-depth psychotherapy group in fact over a period of years in several, quite frequently my mind was blown by the willingness to share personal stuff and so we all got bolder or as an analysand going to a place in my psyche, then walking out of the session to go home thinking clearly as the fog had gone, this to me IS the point to see the "old happening BUT NOT feel compelled by automatic identification with it to go along, this IS the Sinqua non of personal development otherwise there is no other world no0 other view.
Or just occasionally in meditation or for a walk or when camping in a my favourite spot in Exmoor, "an inner vision " , have for years struggled with reading some of the writings or the transcribed dialogues of the great masters thinking how is that possible, of Upsani, of Nisagdatta of Aurobindo their worlds open to the degree where almost anything is possible and last night reading for the umpteenth time about the boat incident again the famous now mythological snippet of the humble fisherman definitely a Navy seal type, Peter if it is you ....come Peter and him stepping out of the boat, only to become bound again by the internal wave of his appearance his small world closing in and sink, why did you doubt Jesus asks him.
Sadly our conditioning is so great we either rebel into reckless, unrealistic dreaming and do stupid things or recoil back into all those bad ingrained habits, the alternative perhaps is to wake everyday check-in with what is or what appears and reflect some ,I use the term candidly IT APPEARS but actually what IS, isn't quite the same at all, appearance can be manipulated.
To stand back, it is so easy to be taken over by these ingrained mental grooves and habits. Oh I must have this or that ....An endless unrecognised quagmire of lost opportunity ...
Good habits are well mythical they don't exist but new directions need continually reinforcing because that ever so thin layer of the prefrontal cortex is slowly starting to channel and master the cruder energies of the limbic reactionary system and overcome the grooves in its more basic substrata, the cortex.
Here is the problem as you say we are so open to "others" some of whom are deliberately duping us.
Do others actually know or are this itself the problem, the proll mentality, the constricted dream of packing boxes to earn to pay the f..rent to keep her indoors happy or .....?
Many intelligent scientists followed Hitler, they weren't immoral to start with but slowly gave way through inducement, money, power sex drugs and other accolades bestowed upon them into to behaving like beasts, like you're Panzram video, giving into the comfort-loving deadening reptilian animal brain, like the poor Perta Rican who dreams of making money and kills himself and others in the process to obtain that "narrow dream" and serves the "money" god.
What works, a little change here and there for me the now ubiquitous cold shower.........you've done it for now 2 years and it works I have to tell myself every morning and YES it really works now I can reflect a little and but know that ....It works so a morning reboot some time spent in reflection, mediation and ...bang I'm in the again now what?
Yes, I am afraid to say for me it is the internet, I can use it for good research, valuable info, as a gateway to new things or it is weakness, a source just of stimulus and distraction of endless blind avenues and frustration and time wasted.
It plugs right into the "carnal" fleshly mind via the groove ridden cortex, the need for stimulus and fantasy!
The force of desire Li Gotama, desire, desire and the endless round of constricted body-mind compulsion, played out on the web, feeding unrealistic dreams and preventing me from the necessary struggle with change, nothing good comes easy it just doesn't and yes as Philip Larkin you parents F...you up, but now that f..upness is one hundred times more dangerous because of the internet our moral development our self-control cannot keep pace with it and it is helping mainly to destroy the human race, it is a tool to be used very carefully and wisely but if used like this as a car to get from A---to---B great but as a child might at a fairground it is a tool of the devil himself !
We have Billionaires planning to live on Mars, narcissistic presidents unable to take on board criticism, celebrities and Hollywood personalities being consulted on philosophy, we have pop psychology everywhere and the endless round of superficial sound bites, we have the face of pseudo-genuiness like porn candy hooking us into believing this is the whole story , whilst underneath the motives are greed and selfishness.
We big money going everywhere except where it should in short the internet has speeded our tendency to "corruption" at a rate undreamt of till we are one step away from a precarious end whether it be climate disaster or world war 3.
Is there a way out?
What can we do individually not to get caught up in it all ?
Big Questions Jocko .
Expand your perspective. This video helped me do that.
Namaste 🙏🏼
This has motivated me to finally swim the Atlantic!
This might be the best excerpt yet echo. 👀💪🤙
I wish it was that easy man you inspire me but it’s hard as hell
I think this just saved my life
Being afraid to drive could be ptsd or anxiety. Makes sense living your life to your bubble can create the fear to leave it.
Thank you for the rebirth conversations Jocko
This is all hitting me at the perfect time I believe.
Free your mind. Jocko is our Morpheus.
I like the feedback echo gives .
I listened to this thrice! The beginning 👌🏼
"I mean can't, that's what I mean... Hey, reality." Delivered with intent.
Thanks gentlemen!

So funny that I'm reading this now!
Love MT!!!❤
"Depends on what do you mean by CAN'T"
"I mean: CAN'T!"
I enjoyed this :D
It's really never a question if you can or can't, it's a question of whether you will or you won't. They only thing that needs to be determined is do they have the capability to accomplish the subject matter.
Exactly Jocko, exactly ....
Thank you Jocko!💜
Such a service sir. 💪🏼

Strong encouragement Jocko
I feel like a big thing controlling people (at least myself) is debt. If you can pay off all your debt, you’re freeing yourself from such a powerful shackle. If you’re debt free, you can quit the job you hate, save up for a business venture, travel the world... sky’s the limit. This is definitely motivating to get my sh!t paid off and get moving with my life!
You out of debt yet ?
@@1XMuleX1 about 14 months away!
Good evening gentlemen.
The problem is for some people they can’t get out. Some people can’t even leave their homes either from fear or other things. Maybe they live in the hood and going any further than what they used to is a fear for them or because everytime some one lays ground work to get successful they die. That’s some people’s reality. For some things you have to be willing to die to get it.
After watching the first minute of this; I can pretty much say all of the above...
So true brotha! Wise words.
Thanks for this video man.
