My favorite quote: Everyone suffers from one of two pains, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

"The pain of discipline
is less than the pain of regret."
-Dr. Kenneth Leighman, family psychologist, counselor, and author
@@HuntingTarg Jim Rohn is the true author of the quote son:
"We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons."
Very profound
"Excellence then is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle
Excellent quote! And now it’s on the fridge.
👍
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Will Durant paraphrasing Aristotle
I prefer the stoics myself Amor fati, memento mori... all that good stuff 😉😅 but if Aristotle is your thing, might I respond with this “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”. Well I’ve entertained the thought of discipline... 😉😉😂👌✌️🤘🖖
It's amazing that someone from 340 BC figured this out.
“Don’t make goals, create habits.” This is the best advice I’ve ever been given. I’m not self-disciplined. I love Bible study but life’s chores get in the way. What I’ve experienced is that, whenever I do that studying for an hour or so, I’m much more productive throughout the day because my spirit has been lifted. I’m going to make daily study not a goal, which is for the future, but rather a habit, which fulfills the now. Thank you for this advice/encouragement. I tend to let the trivial fill my time. Ironically, I get more tediousness accomplished when I feed my spirit first.
True that! I decided about 35 years ago to make spending an hour in God’s Word, first thing in the morning, the priority of my life. I pray, ask God to take over my life for the day, ask for the Holy Spirit to teach me, drink two glasses of water and begin to study. Been doing it ever since. You would probably be hard pressed to find a Bible with as many notes written in it as mine. Thousands of hours of notes. Often I read stuff in those notes that I didn’t even know that I knew. But it comes back to me. Anyway, if you do that, you will not regret it! As you read, thoughts will come to your mind, for example short comings, stop right there and ask God to help you overcome it, or start practicing it, or whatever the case. God bless your effort to create this new habit if you haven’t already!
Kelly, I read 1 proverb each morning.
Then find something else inside my bible to study at night.
It's full of post it notes highlight Mark's underline and notes in margins. Ahhhhhh the peace of knowing God is in charge
“Make habits.” You cannot think your way into a new way of living, you have to live your way into a new way of thinking.
Best life advice I have ever received!!!
Your advice is changing my direction. Thank you . Fuzzybear

My wife and I like to say things like "there's just not enough time in the day" when in reality, we make our days short by wasting them. Maybe not a positive note, but definitely something I think others can relate to.
Can relate. To turn that thought into a positive: we choose how to spend our time. In other words. The next time you think “there’s not time for this”, change that to “I choose not to make time for this.” It helps you figure out what is actually important for you. Aristotle: “We are what we habitually do.” Habitually choose how you spend your time, in accordance to what is important to you.

“Make habits” - Warrior Poet. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle. You, Sir, give sage advice.
That's awesome. I'll have to remember that quote.
Not all good practical advise comes from Aristotle, but all good practical advise is something Aristotle would agree largely with
“How we do anything... is how we do everything.”

It is because of both. And A.E. was a fraud.
@@thenewberrym.c.914 His equation made the atomic bomb theoretically possible. Not exactly a fraud, in my book.
@@Damonbird775 The theory of relativity has noting to do with the atomic bomb. He penned a letter to help jump start America's Atomic program. Is that what you were thinking of? Also his works were stolen from 7 other scientist and his papers mostly written by his wife. But he had connections. When questioned about the details of "'his"' theory by a schoolgirl in New York he could not answer the question. The MC of the event gave the "'genius"' more time to recall, he could not. Fraud!
Berry McCockinher Where can I find information on this school girl asking a question? His theory being relevant to the bomb is debatable but I have found zero information on him being a “fraud” as you call him. Was he given way too much credit? Probably. Is he a fraud? Not that I can see. Thanks for giving me something to research during this boring ass time of seclusion.

100% accurate.
How did you manage to make it through the vid without smashing a single thing with that club?! That’s some serious discipline!

"Jesus has done that He took over the world" Amen brother.
I doubt you would share my opinion on the matter, but I do recall Jesus supposedly said something on that topic...
“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. My kingdom is from another place”
I’m afraid I can’t remember the chapter and verse off the top of my head (it’s been a VERY long time since I was a Sunday school teacher 😉😅😅 to quote from your favourite book again “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me”) but from his own words it’s still pretty clear even Jesus himself wouldn’t have agreed with you on that one 😉😂😂✌️🤘🖖
@@Godless_Guru John 18:36 But if "The Meek shall inherit the Earth" then I'd presume that at some future point Jesus does redeem the Earth and open the scroll. I'd say your comment was in error.

This year I’ve lost 84 pounds since May. For me, I just woke up one day and decided enough is enough I need to get healthy. I now go to the gym every other day to lift weights and I only eat healthy foods.
The biggest drive for me was craving a healthier, leaner body. By being more active and eating healthier it will also affect your overall perspective on life.
I’m trying to get my parents on board, especially my dad, but you can’t beat a dead horse. You really need that internal drive to make it; at least for me I did. I did set a long term goal, but once you see progress after a little bit, you realize it’s not as hard as you thought and eventually it will become a habit.
Anti-SJW great job brother!
Internal motivation definitely helps and you’ve got to ride that wave while it’s there
The challenge comes when the motivation subsides - that is when the habits you’ve built will come in handy
To piggyback on John’s excellent video, you can’t win or even compete in a race without taking the first step, then the second, then the third…
I also tried to get my mom in shape and she always said that time was over for her , well guess what after 2 years of her seeing me go to the gym she finally decided to do something for her health ! Keep at it and lead by example
Trust Jesus Once you’re ready to go, just do it and don’t look back.
Man, any tips? I’ve been trying to lose weight for ages. I want to be in better shape.
Carlos A I echo Matt Harvey.
I was in the Army for twenty years. Could have used this video on day one. Lost my family life, can’t even remember most of it. Sage advice!!!
I have been meditating every day for the last six years. My meditations have all centered on one word: gratitude. Gratitude is one of the cornerstones of my life and I have been carrying that word for 6 years.
gratitude to whom? Being thankful to God for his grace and blessings is key!
It's really nice to see someone spreading such uplifting messages. In a world where so many people are out for themselves and trying to get more, it's nice to see someone care that other people might be able to improve any aspect of their life by your message. Thanks for the positive message and encouragement every time you post!
Reading daily. Taking a book to the bathroom instead of cell phone
That is a great idea.
But then when am I going to watch warrior poet videos?

The real mvp is the cameraman that’s walking backwards. He deserves to be well compensated

Awesome content, definitely needed the reminder - I’ve had great discipline in the past but I’ve dealt with some health issues for several months and I’ve let a few areas of discipline such as my workout routine slip off the wagon 😐
Time to get back on it!
“Make us more loving” that is one of the key ingredients missing from today’s world.

@@WarriorPoetSociety well deserved....thank you patriots
Young Christian and new gun owner. My pastor and his kid have all started shooting together and are all noobs. We found your channel and have really enjoyed it. You are stern and sincere, it is obvious you are not messing around. What we like most is you are a gentleman about it. We have started to use your videos and tips and go over safety each time we go out, the way you teach it. Thank you for you time, advice and videos. We truly appreciate it. God Bless.
My "goal" (habit) I am going to start working on first is my morning routine. Up early & Bible study w/ one of Gods greatest gifts, coffee.
John wakes up, and he prays. Thank the creator of this universe for the mercy he has shown us by allowing to wake up, many go to sleep but never wake. Good job John.
Agreed! I wake up each day and THANK THE LORD for the gift of another day of life. I thank him for EVERY BREATH and it has become a habit. It seems like something small and perhaps obvious, but it really helps me to keep things in perspective and to remain humble and grateful before God.
Great video! My priest gave me this advice about my writing (and my prayer life). The way he phrased it was, "Consistency first. Quality will follow." I'm trying to get back into my old habit of writing 30 min a day, even if it's garbage, and maintaining my daily prayers, even when I'm distracted.
Good vid.
"Every man should sit in quiet contemplation for 20 minutes every day.
Unless he is too busy.
Then he should sit for an hour."
Mental rehab is important. Morning is best.
I like that might have to take that advice
@@jeffedoe4189 I didn't say it first. Idk who did but it definitely resonates.
I enjoy cigars for that reason, go outside sit back and just think for an hour or so. Having the cigar keeps you from mentally wondering too far and keeps you aware because you have a simple task to do keeping it lit and simple actions that keep you physically engaged. You can keep on track and really go through and solve life’s things just by thinking about them.
@@mediumugly4322 I think I'll get one and do that tonight.
So can't necessarily say I'd do that but all day Saturday and Sunday morning in the deer stand, that's my mental rest/ de stress time. Then I'm clear and relaxed for Sunday afternoon with the wife. After deer season still use my crow and coyote hunting for the same purpose
Monthly habit: Excercise for 5 min a day.
Monthly Substitution: 10 min online for 10 reading or meditating.
One thing about discipline is that as you develop it you feel better about yourself. What you say you are going to do you follow through on and that infuses confidence and a sense of purpose. You build greater trust in yourself and that overcomes doubt. It also increases our capacity
John doesn’t know it, but it was like he was talking directly at me. Scary. God told me to watch this first thing with my coffee so I did. I’m an old man and need some new habits. John, God uses you in that moment to reach and old vet. Thank you!
Isnt it crazy? ive had this channel speak into my life a few times at low points! Thanks John
Ditto, thanks John!
I feel more connected to God when we listen. John has definitely helped more than he knows.

Thanks John, in 2020 I’m gonna be a better husband and father to my wife and kiddos. Gonna invest ample quality time in my family. I try to do that anyway but, this year I need to make more of an effort to put work aside and just do a better job of being a great dad and husband. Thanks for all the work you do.
How is it going so far
Benjamin Eadie, so far, so good. At least I still get to sleep in the bed. 😉😉 But really, it’s going great. We have 5 kids (25 yrs boy/girl twins, 24 yrs girl/girl twins and a 17 yr old boy that we adopted when he was born).Only the 17 yr old lives at home. But with the virus going around out of the oldest set of twins, the girl and out of the youngest twins is working at hospitals. They are going to school for RN. The boy of the oldest twins and the other girl of the younger twins works outside the house. My youngest boy helps me with my woodworking business. I’ve been taking it easy with the business and doing stuff as a family. Everyone has a day that they can pick what they want to do. As in yesterday, for example, we all went fishing. The day before that the wife and I went to a park and hand fed wild squirrels and looked at the flowers. The flowers were her idea but the squirrels were mine. My grandpa and I used to do that at the lake. I had about 20 of the around me and maybe 10 up in my lap. We had a good time. But we’ve been doing stuff like that as a family when the kids don’t have to work.
Getting to CHURCH weekly with my family(as soon as they open again)and spending much more time in study of scripture is my goal.
You can do it man
and always remember Christ our King loves you.
John, thank you for your Service before, and for your service here on YT. Both, I feel, are equally worthy of gratitude and acknowledgement. Love to all my kith, stand proud, never kneel.

Some men can operate near those levels of temptation...where the interlocking fields of fire of a combined regimental-sized ambush consisting of flanking pawn shops, E-1 financing-and-up used car lots, surplus stores, tattoo parlors, and strip clubs are waiting for them outside of the main gates of their duty stations. Others succumb to the dark side and get chained to a dependapotamus who knows their Leave and Earnings Statement blocks far better than them from the prior 3 marriages under different names, so she can collect multiple retirement stipends if she plays her cards right.

I quit smoking by changing my habits, did something different at those times I would normally smoke. After eating, I would take my dog for a bike ride and focus on how good it felt to breathe air.
Jeez. You taught your dog to ride a bike! Now that's discipline!
@@johnmccarty8941 ;-)
Thx I needed this!
Congratulations on quieting!!! As a former smoker I feel your pain. Just don't do what I did. I found myself substituting food for smoking and gained a lot more weight and had to get that off. Anyway, just mostly wanted to say congratulations and God bless.
@@russnurse2b807 Thanks, been about 11 years smoke free!
I'm so bad at self discipline ! However after listening to this I already feel empowered. I've set a time limit for a good habit that I will begin tomorrow.
it'll never happen because people are too emotional so they only act when the emotion is strong. you have to learn how to depress your emotions so you can just function and follow through without the need for emotional motivation. its not natural to be emotionless. some people are more sociopathic so its easier for them to just do things without feelings pulling at them.
Just had to dig this video out again just to say thank you. My life was on a serious downturn and I was feeling really down about everything, this video among a couple of others have me words of encouragement I didn't realise I needed. Fast forward seven months to today and I couldn't feel better about myself, there's a longer trail to hike up ahead but I'm ready to tackle it head on.
Thanks again you beautiful bunch of bastards.
Just seeing this 11 months later, and I hope you've turned that downward spiral into an upswing, whoever you are.

Sow an act, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.
Habits I want to form for this year.
1- Exercise. I will start with 10 minutes a day, and work up to 30 minutes.
2- Read for work. 30 minutes a day. (job is an academic desk type job, so it will develop my job knowledge.)
3- Dry fire my pistol and rifle every day. 3 minutes of each.
4- After work time, walk away from the work. Be with my family, not at work.
They are good goals. 1 is for me. 2 is for work. 3 is for my protector development. 4 is for my family. I think its a good combination.
Why not 10 minutes of pistol a day and like 20 minutes of rifle once a week. Your pistol is what you are likely to use to defend yourself because it is what you have with you daily.
Excellent list I hope you don't mind if I shamelessly steal 1 or 2 items
@captain obvious Pretty much every great leader in modern history was also a prolific reader. People who don't read tend to be intellectually stunted.
I don't know how to do any of type 4, if I get into anything (which is hard) but if I do, it's really hard to mentally disengage afterwards. So for the rest of the day I'd be thinking it over and over again.
The way I like to accomplish things is by doing a little bit of all the things I wanne do, so it's hard when I can't disengage and transition into another topic.
@@jerryrandall260 dude, don't steal his pistols or rifles though, k?

You have no idea how timely this is for me right now, and how much this advice helped! Thank you!
Ol' trooper here from the 82nd. Your best vid ever. Used to teach survival training based on the Mors Kochanski saw, "the more you know, the less you have to carry." And you know as well, the single biggest survival skill one can have is to think calmly and clearly. And Teddy R's old saw of "do what you can with what you got where you are" is foundational to the OODA loop. So glad to see this kind of talk as one tires of EDC and gear vids. Great stuff, "build habits, not goals" and find substitutes for what needs replacing in your life. Which is the embodiment of Mark Twain's old saying, "Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time." - Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar. Now just "why" would I be so locked on to what you've done here? Simply because what Twain also said about habits is very true..."You can't reach old age by another man's road. My habits protect my life but they would assassinate you."- 70th birthday speech, 1905 So it's not the goals (another man's habits) but rather the habits you develop that guarantee your success, or failure. Blessings to you brother, stay strong in the faith.
Very cool John. I'll listen to people like you because you put Christ first.
Jocko..."How to be more disciplined.... be more disciplined."
Man, I love 90% of what Jocko has to say, but sometimes he just seems so far ascended that he is out out touch on some subjects.

This popped up in my feed today and I’m glad it did. Really needed to hear the tip on making habits vs goals. Been trying to do that lately to improve myself and while it sometimes doesn’t feel like your moving forward it all about developing the habits. Thank you!
I'm striving to focus more on my health. I'm in relatively good shape. I'm turning 30 in 2020 and as a provider and role model for my 3 young sons I need set a good example.

Truly, I wish more influencers would not be afraid to share their beliefs about Christ to many have the attitude that they can’t mix Christianity and Christ values with their channel but we are all called to be disciples, and to speak the truth. Thank you brother love your channel and all you stand for.❤❤❤❤

I really loved every aspect of this video. I've been a big fan and have watched tons of yall videos. I'm a big fan how your not afraid to mention your faith or how your wife and family are a big part of your life. I've been getting up at 5ish. It's hard to always stick with it every morning and fight the urge to hit that snooze. I want to pack so much in those two hour before work, and have been unsuccessfully. I really appreciate the starting off slow. I'm going to really commit to going to my knees first thing instead of the coffee pot every morning. Then I will schedule my study time and fitness. Kudos to you Brother.
Mr. Scott You can do it! Practice getting up within five seconds of the alarm going off. You stay in bed any longer and it becomes a debate between getting up or hitting the snooze button. You will lose that debate!! Best wishes to you!
This is a really practical vid, thanks...."Discipline is doing what you don't want to do right now so you can get what you really want later" - Maxwell.

Every litle victory if it costed you a lot of effort is a great victory. Be proud.
Be discipline and scroll back up ☝️ to focus on the video until the end. Make it a habit to read the comments/leave a comment after you've watched the whole video.
Stay focused! 😉
Some people can do both, and my time is precious. I either watch a video at 1.5x or 1x w/comments.
As he gets into a sentence that grinds my brain a bit I stop typing, but what he's saying here today isn't something mind bending like first vs second plane reticles, so I'm pretty secure in saying I can do both during this video.
Wilfred Darr 😆well good for you!
All fun! Just playing around!
Sometimes it's important to walk the whole video to avoid looking foolish...
@@HuntingTarg Yes, I should clarify, I'm not commenting on the video until the end, but I'll reply to comments I disagree with while watching: generally though I'm only reading comments to see what others are addressing so at the end of the video I know what comment is constructive to the conversation.
Great advice! I would like to add something I've been using: get started with the smallest amount of work possible. If you want to do something but lack the discipline, you can just do the minimum amount of work. For example, if you want to start reading books, tell yourself to read just one sentence. Once you have gotten the book, went to wherever you read books, gotten your glasses, turned on a light and turned to the right page you will not stop at that one sentence. One of the hardest things relating to discipline is to get started and this really helps with that.
Every time I watch one of your RUclips videos, I feel the effect you wanted people to feel.

Hey John theres a great app I use for this exact thing called “streaks” it helps you set habits and string them together every day your streak gets longer and you can see on a calendar and then you don’t want to break the streak!
Great vid! Making a single small goal and sticking to it gives you the reward feeling that makes it incrementally easier to achieve the next small goal. I did this this with ruck marching and now I love it!
GR8 input. don't set goals, Create habits!
You have great content John, thank you for doing videos like this and for standing by what you believe in. God bless you guys
Creating habits and substitute bad for better are two most important tools in our toolbox. And it takes time to master their use
The time to create new habit depends on familiarity of attempted actions
If you're creating habit which in some form relates to something you're already doing habitually AND you are able to see/understand connection, then the time frame is shorter (11 days in some instances)
If you are venturing into absolutely new territory than it can take up to 3 months
Thats why there is such a thing as 100 days grace period
To create new habit is to make unknown familiar
Starting with 'low bar' helps because you're doing small change which does not affect your life in too disturbing way
Once you are familiar with that small action, you've got a bridgehead from which you can expand your habit
Creating new habits closely relates to elimination of bad habits
You simply don't have enough time for both, good and bad ones
Eliminating bad/old habits is changing familiar into unfamiliar
Here comes the second advice from video,
=> substitute
Find something similar but better (even just slightly better) and substitute
After some time, when the old faded into unfamiliar, substitute the slightly better for something better. Rinse and repeat
When the video started I was thinking up posting about how research has shown that building habits is more effective than trying to have better discipline. Glad I waited.
Most underrated RUclips video out there! 100 truth. Thanks John
Two Thumbs up for reverence to christ!
^this
Amien
Amen man, same thing
AMEN!
Merry Christmas brothers.
Reminds me of another Spec Ops youtuber...
“MAKE IT HABITUAL!”
Lot of truth here, John. Thanks for keeping up the Poet side of things!
I really like this video. I think a lot of people needed this, and more need to watch it. One of my big challenges to try to squeeze in is exercising/working out. I am very active due to the nature of my job and personal life. I work in a mine and live in the country so I’m always moving, lifting, climbing, working in some physical form. I get up at 4:30, go to work, come home at 6:30 or so. I have basically one day a week to do stuff for myself and my family. It doesn’t leave a lot of room for me to do anything else. I’ve made a point of this year, trying to do some basic workout stuff each evening before getting a shower. Push-ups sit ups that kind of stuff. Haven’t been the best with it to be honest. Some days I come home filthy and covered in mud. I just want to shower and something to eat and then go to sleep. But at the same time I don’t want my family to feel neglected so I try to spend some type of time with them. Maybe watch an episode of their favorite show, play with some Legos, play outside for a bit. I don’t know if this is lacking discipline per say, but I definitely struggle keeping a workout routine. I don’t want to turn into the fat dad bod type but I feel like it may be inevitable
Whoa! Curious, what is it that you do for work?
Amador Delatorre it’s an open air mine. We have all kinds of equipment to maintain that keeps us pretty busy. Belt conveyors and heavy machinery. Some times you shovel rocks and mud all day cause there was a big spill. Sometimes you are putting on a harness and climbing up structures to weld or fix something. Keeps you moving most days. According to my phone I average around 10k steps a day and about 120 flights of stairs. I don’t have it on me all the time though. Sometimes you know you are about to get wet and nasty and you leave it somewhere safe
This guy. Man every single one of his videos I saw "Wow" at least 10 times. Keep rocking, John and the WPS!
I love this channel. Started following for guns but got so much more
I've worked as a sales trainer for 35 years. The beauty of this channel, the guns. that part's nice but inner reflection on developing one's self. Nothing could be finer. An investment in Yourself is the BEST investment YOU can make. No one can ever take that away from You.
Here! Here!
"Jesus did it". Amen. You got my vote.
1/4 of the population, at best, isn't "taking over the world."
@@TheGunguy461 what a pitiful "man" you are... nothing better to do than regurgitate your ignorant comment to everyone that appreciated John's shout-out to Jesus. You obviously don't even understand what was said. Funny thing is... your scoffing was expected and predicted by the very man you ridicule.
@@charlie10tango39 You obviously don't understand math.
@@TheGunguy461 Thank you for proving that you don't understand what was said in the video. It's not a matter of math. It is about the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you would like to discuss it; we can move forward. If you are just a keyboard warrior looking for an argument then consider this conversation over.
@@charlie10tango39 Even if you believe the Bible, Jesus in now quantifiable way "took over the world." Taking over the world means you have control of everyone. Since at most 25% of people alive today are Christian (which assumes that all self-proclaimed Christians are Christian, which most Christians don't) then how did Jesus take over the world?
If someone takes something over, then they have total control over how it runs. Is the world in which we live exactly how Jesus wants it? I sincerely hope not.
We can approach this from whatever angle you want: historically, religiously, philosophically. If it's not a matter of math then how do you quantify it?
The army trained us to set goals but never como into my mind to create a habit. Thank you to open my mind and God bless you. HOAAH
Thank you for this, great advise and the simplest things are sometimes the most overlooked.
“People over estimate what they can do in a day and under estimate what they can do in a year”
Glad to hear your a believer in Christ. I received the baptisim of the Holy Spirit and was baptised in Jesus name while stationed at Fort Richardson Alaska 1981. The Army really did change my like.
I’m picking up an extra double shift at work whenever it’s available. My family appreciates the extra income. That’s what I’m shooting for.
Mr FNH get its brother!!!!! I just finished one of my 3 year goal today. Get yours!!!
Tom Stone Was this reply meant for me?
Health and family, the 2 most important things. Hopefully everything will follow.
Thank you for this video. I've had a problem with self discipline since I lost my leg in a car wreck. I needed to hear this thank you. Sometimes you just need.someone to remind you to see the forest not just the tree in front of you. Thank you again you inspire me to do better.
You got this bro 👍🏻

Great video John 👍 my next habit is to read more books especially the Bible
Excellent instruction! I probably ought to listen to this first thing every morning! I've always set BIG lofty goals, only to in the not too distant future find them unmet. Go big or go home, that's me, that's how my family knows me. So, I go big and then go home to the same ole me. Tomorrow I will sit and think about what you shared, and then I will take an inventory of my habits good and bad, develop a plan to get rid of the bad habits. Then having done that I will prioritize the habits which I want to weave into my life, choose 2 or 3 of the highest on my list, and then set attainable milestones by which to measure my progress. It shall be done!!!
Many peoples dreams and aspirations become their identity. Talking about who they aspire to be. But so many are crippled by the fear-spending a lifetime waiting on the “right” time, looking for the right circumstances, up until the dream fades away into the sunset-forever.
I love the 2 minute epic walk build up to be “ruined” by the dad joke style “we thought this would be a cooler intro” 😂 keep up the good work.
? That totally made it
"Actually Jesus did that."
**Hits like for Jesus
😂😂👏👏🔥😩Same

@Great Cornholio I need to get on your comeback level that was hilarious 👍👍
“Force has no place where there is need of skill.” -Herodotus
We all eventually face problems and obstacles that we can’t force our way through. I don’t like to underestimate the power of will, but it isn’t the only tool in the shed.
John you are hands down the most inspiring person that I have listened to in a long time there is no doubt that you are a good man people who know you are very lucky
If you can’t handle yourself how can you handle anyone else.
Drinking less, working out more. Those are my missions atm.
I hear ya. Me too brother. Also for me try to find something to be happy for.
This is the most sharpest video ive seen. Tear down, start small build on that. It was like your tonge was that sword on the wall cutting indiscriminantly through my shortcommings that were a result of unrealistic goals and excuses. Im glad i learned this sooner rather than later.
Thank You John. I'm 45 and walked away from this video a little bit better. Good bit of information for anyone. Very well done.
I'm 25 I finaly got my conceal carry license I've always had a knife but now I have a child so I will always be carrying from now on
Cain Kopczynskie Good priorities, Cain!
@Cain Kopczynskie Good on you brother, right on! Just remember to always follow the four fundamental gun safety rules, and now that you have the little one (congratulations by the way!), how ever safe you feel your being when manipulating/storing the firearm, times it by ten just to be sure! I’m not saying you already don’t, heck you’re probably better me! Just looking out for someone in the same community. Happy for you dude! Take care
