      ok go do it then nobody cares what other people do , we all know that doesnt bring happiness because most of us have lived that already , chasing instant gratification and comfort is always short lived and leads to extreme depression. the people who are stuck laying in bed all day or stuck at a job they dont like is because they chased the fun, trust me if you have fun all day everyday eventually it wont be fun anymore and you wont have any ability to change it and everything you need to do is gonna be even harder then it would've been finding happiness in the work is the only way you'll find peace and happiness in life, this is the exact reason millionaires become depressed, because they get the money then quit working hard and chase the comfort then ignore what needs to be done , this is why people say money doesnt buy happiness , most people have it backwards once you start buying happiness, happiness becomes cheap , you have to earn it @@sdudigumi

      *What is the thing you can get lost in doing, that you love doing, and could see yourself doing every day of your life?.... what does your perfect day look like? What do you do during that day?... you should aim to string those moments together one after another, and that is your best life.*

    Jocko's take on bullying reminds me of my granddad, back when I was bullied by kids 6 years older than I, in neighbourhood, he trained me and even after that I was a scrawny 9 year old and wasnt up for it, then he told me that its not just about winning or loosing the fight, but make it expensive for the opponent to ever come at you, instil fear they will not dare to come at you ever again like they used to, and well I was beaten to crap there were 2 of them, but they received so much damage, they and the entire neighbourhood respected me.

      There was an a-hole in my
      school who was somewhat of a bully, but more than that he just was a rebel. One thing I remember him for is him telling us- when someone wants to fight you, never be scared. Show them backside and get whooped if necessary, but show them you’re not afraid of taking a beating.
      Though I favour de-escalation in front of confrontation unless absolutely necessary.

      I made it to 30 without ever getting into a fight. I started out life bullied by an older sister. I was bullied, and I became a bully. I was fortunate though. I realized it, so I stopped that cycle, at least with me. Anyway, I went from bullied, to bully, to bullied, to unbulliable. By 8-9th grade, I was shutting down older and bigger kids trying to bully innocents. Never had to fight tho. I dunno. I reckon maybe I was a coward up until I realized that I was. Since that epiphany, I've been the scary one. But hopefully only to the one's who've earned it.

    I can agree with the point that motivation is not what’s necessary to do things. I am constantly battling thoughts of negativity. For years, I struggled with obsessive compulsive disorder where I was getting really disturbing intrusive thoughts. I finally accepted that those thoughts were pretty much always going to be there, and I was going to actively choose to make the best decisions for my future, despite those thoughts being in the background. I also realize that this is actually a normal part of the human experience, there isn’t a human walking around that isn’t distracted by their thoughts. Once I realized this was just a normal part of being human, it gave me the power to live the life I want.

    Chris man. Excellent podcast. A high bar to clear for a man with a very high bar to start with. I relate to you more with each podcast. Quick story: I grew up in a bad situation and was poorly socialized and maybe a little autistic. I got bullied more than anyone should, but my dad put me in a taekwondo class. Kinda useless, but got me interested. Because now, I could defend myself from grade school bullies, kinda. Fast forward to high school. I had decided to study kickboxing and judo. Seemed like a good overall combination. Turns out it is. I went to high school in the 90's and I was the only person with a laptop. You see, I was a computer nerd publicly when that was not cool. Got me rigorously bullied. But by high school, I had a reputation. I wasn't very big (5'10'' 185lbs), but I know how to win a fight. Bullies still had the gall to fight me, but they had to work together to stand a chance. Still, I had been lifting progressively heavier weights since I was small (5 years old, started with 5 pounds) so I was immensely strong. That carries over into my young adulthood. Because I am strong, I typically worked in construction (framing, flooring) and also as a mechanic. Now 40, I am struggling to deal with the myriad injuries I've collected over my career. Yet, I have made it here so I will make it further. My biggest troubles are existential (obviously), and managing my pain and energy levels. Heh, that got long quick. I said all that in order to say this: You have reignited a fire within me. Reminded me that who I used to be is still who I essentially am. Older and more tired for sure, but I am still the only hero in my story. A rugged fighter who will push with all my strength until there is no more. Even though I know that day will come, it is not today. Know that you are a profound inspiration to me and that I really appreciate what you do. Thanks for reading. -Alex

    Something that immediately popped to mind on the conversation of structure vs. creativity is great Chess players. If you look at Magnus Carlsen or Hikaru, they know lines, they know strategy and what to do in different situations but they're also able to think outside the box. Once you get to a certain level, everyone knows the same strategy, the same answers, so what separates the truly great ones from people that are just very good is that added ability. In saying that, the structure is still necessary because without that knowledge and those fundamentals you wouldn't get to the level where that becomes a part of the conversation.

The medicine I needed was within me from the beginning, but I didn't take it. NOW that I am taking it every morning I start my day with a peaceful resolve and gain an incredible insight into the art of processing and letting go of trama all to come back to a place of serenity, positivity and peace in the NOW..... ! It has taken six months to this threshold of a golden peace and light and I look forward to having only one mind. Too many minds got my butt in serious trouble.

    15:12 I think a good distinction would be that taking responsibility is about solving the problem and taking ownership is about taking blame. As far as the argument is concerned, you can never take enough responsibility because you have far more agency and power than you realize. But you can definitely take too much ownership because not everything is your fault.

    Chris’ thoughts on your darker self being the flip side of your best self was so interesting to me. It makes me wonder about looking at your past self with shame versus being grateful for the past lives you’ve lived. It can be very difficult to let go of the disappointment of what you used to think/do. I think if you feel ashamed of something it’s an indication of you knowing better, knowing what is good. 💭💭💭

      Funny thing is, he'd probably not do much.
      He certainly can easily replace anything stolen, and as such he knows the risk/reward lays too heavily in the risk column for him.
      I suspect he wouldn't react beyond securing his family.
      🤷🏻‍♂️ Just my opinion thought

    For me:
    Discipline and creativity, two traits you must find the balance for.
    Because too much discipline will restrain your creativity.
    Motivation is overcomplicating.
    Motivation is the ability to do what you have to do whatever situation and state you are in. There's no magical state you must be in to do it.
    Courage can't be faked, neither can motivation.
    Grief is neurologically extremely similar to break ups.
    Losing someone close is like being put in an emotional storm that blows you away from time to time and you have no control over.
    It simply improves over time.
    The best you can do in a relationship that's not working out is wish them good luck, walk away and don't look back.
    If a memory still affects you, write it down.
    Being able to defend yourself physically is s superpower.

    My Nana, who was a child during the depression, and a young woman during World War II, always used to say that if you have to swear when you are speaking, you are not thinking when you are speaking. And if you are not thinking when you are speaking, you probably shouldn’t be speaking. I have always found that good advice in most situations. I understand that there are situations where it applies, but generally to me it’s just laziness.

  • @Nicoladen1

    18:32 Because we've adapted the mindset that we need to work for things. We need to put in the effort if we want to win in life. We gotta take responsibility and prove ourselves.
    Or to put it frankly: I won't allow myself this certain experience of joy and contentment until I've done this certain thing.
    Now that's all good and true, but if you really think about it, why you want to achieve success or win at all is because you're aiming for what you deem the easiest and most reliable way to feeling joy. All our actions and choices reflect our desire for happiness. Wether it's family, career, personal ambitions, a hobby etc. We do what we enjoy, and strive for more of that enjoyment. But, and this is where we're making a fatal mistake, we think we need to do or achieve certain things to get that happiness. While in reality we limit our happiness to certain things depending on our personality. Things don't bring joy or misery, you react to things with joy or misery. Albeit mostly unconscious and out of your control. But that's because we never learn to take control. Man, I could write another 10 paragraphs on this but I'm spending too much time repeating myself in youtube comments in an attempt to share some of my knowledge lol
